Okay, my husband and I have just began the vegetarian lifestyle change. We have committed ourselves to one month and omitting harmful foods, one step at a time. If at the end of one month we see some improvement both on our weight and our health, we will fully commit. I'm very optimistic...gone from 265 to 261.5 already and we've only been on this since August 10...3 whole days!! And my husband has gone from 253 to 250. I drank my last diet soda today...well, I only drank half and poured the rest down the drain. We've given up red meat totally and only had chicken once...today. It was chicken breast strips, broiled in olive oil and diced for the salad. Okay, I did say we were taking it slow, right? Day 1, we had one egg cooked in olive oil with two stips of turkey bacon for breakfast and for lunch we had a salad of organic baby spinach with

cranberries, feta cheese and almond slices, with white balsamic dressing. We had the rest for dinner with a side of asparagus. Day 2, I slipped a little because I went out of town and the place I went didn't have salads without all that junk in it. I had one egg with turkey bacon and green tea. For lunch I had a ham and cream cheese wrap, sorry! No dinner. Wasn't hungry. Today, I made a really huge salad with organic lettuce...the red and green kind. That's what I used the broiled chicken strips for and I had light ceasar ranch. I know it's not quite raw...but bear with us. We'll get there. I've been really telling everyone about and my cousin wants me to send him some info. Wish me luck...I want everyone in my family to come on board.
