  • I became a vegetarian on January 2nd, and I lost 5lbs in the first 4 days!!! Sweeeet!!! Of course i still have alot more to lose, but I know I can do it. This is my 7th day and I feel like I've lost even  more weight but I'm only allowing myself to weigh once a week so I don't become obsessed with it.

    Being a vegetarian isn't just to lose weight though(although that's a major plus)it's mostly for the health benefits.

    Basically I ate so much meat during the holidays that I just got sick of it,(and watching charlottes web made me NEVER want to eat pork again, wilbur was soooo cute!!!) plus I ate alot of other junk food over the holidays and just felt so, blaaaah...I felt the need to eat more fruits and veggies and less junk/meat, and being a vegetarian is a good way to do that.

    I was a vegetarian when I was a teenager and I had TONS more energy and wasn't over weight at all, plus I hardly ever got sick.

    I've just felt so tired and sluggish lately I miss those energetic vegetarian days...

    So I've decided to take the veggie plundge once again.

    Moe's has an awesome veggie burrito!

    And morningstar makes a veggie chicken patty that tastes just like chick-fil-a but is made from soy. Awesomeness!

  • I have two sisters that are vegetarians. Though I have no desire to be one myself, I know that the common myth "vegetarians just eat vegetables" is totally false. There's tons of stuff to eat besides meat.

  • yay! you can do it chica. I thought about becoming a vegetarian, but then I think I would eat WAY too many pastas and that would have a very negative affect. So, I am doing most white meats. Although it's hard because my dad LOVE red meat. But good for you!

  • good luck! just remember to get enough iron...

  • If you want recipes of easy to make stuff for vegetarians, let me know. I'm four years veggie-eater now
