Hi, I'm new!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself.

 

My name is Carren, I'm 31 years old (today's my bday, woo hoo). I

live in South Florida with my fiance, our five cats and our puppy. I

became a Lacto - Ovo Vegetarian back on March 27th. I'm a member of

Weight Watchers and decided that living a Vegetarian lifestyle would

help my weight loss journey as well as help my health overall. I have

had great success with this way of eating (losing 14 pounds since

March) and have now decided to begin the transition to a Vegan lifestyle.

 

I am finding that my hardest obstacle with Vegetarian and Vegan eating

is ingredients in packaged food items. I realize that fresh is the

best way to go but lately I haven't had the energy or patience to cook

meals and have been relying heavily on processed prepackaged meals.

I'm trying to get better about cooking (my fiance is not Vegetarian

and I am responsible for meals, so it's a bit tough to accommodate

both of us) and I'm on the hunt for easy, tasty recipes along with

help on figuring out the " hidden " ingredients in the packaged meals

when I do have to rely on them.

 

I'm look forward to getting to know everyone and contributing when I

can!

Hi Tammy,

 

I still consume dairy (lacto) and eggs (ovo) though I'm trying to

slowly cut out both. Good thing is I'm don't eat those often now,

except as ingredients in recipes.
