The Questionnaire

 

1) What is your name or what would you like to be called?

 

*Lisa*

 

2) How old are you (roughly)?

 

*34 - tomorrow!*

 

3) Where do you live (city/country)?

 

*PA, US now, hopefully Dubai, UAE by next summer*

 

4) How long have you been a vegetarian/vegan, or how long have you been

ionterested in cooking vegetarian food?

 

*I've been interested since I can remember - I always seemed to just

push the meat aside and eat whatever else was on my plate...never really

cared for it - just recently after watching " Meet Your Meat " I decided

to go 100% vegetarian, striving to be vegan, with the encouragement of

my three older children, who are also new vegetarians. We ate our last

bite of me*t January 3, 2004.*

 

5) What is your favourite food or meal?

 

*I love Middle Eastern foods (helps that my husband is from Saudi, so

I've been cooking lots of vegetarian dishes for years) It's too hard to

narrow it down to one dish, lol*

 

6) Why did you join the group?

 

*Along with my new diet, I have added exercise to my life and in the

first month alone (I was just weighed yesterday) I lost 20.5 lbs., 19 " ,

and 2.60% body fat. I am eating 5x a day,

breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner at 8-11-2-5-8:00. I have 50-60

pounds to go and would like to meet friends for support and

encouragement, which I will gladly reciprocate:)*

 

7) Is there anything specific you want to get out of the group?

 

*More tips, advice and ideas, and most importantly, friendships.*

 

8) Tell us a few of your favourite things.

 

*My husband. 15 years of marriage and he is still every breath I take.

My children - all 6 of them. My world revolves around my family.*

 

9) Do you know of any internet sites or other groups which maybe

relevant to members?

 

*I have found VegWeb.com to have some great easy recipes. Also PETA.org

is full of reasons to STAY vegetarian - not that I am at risk of ever

going back to meat, but it just gives one all the more reason to keep

avoiding it.*

 

10) Is there anything else you'd like to share with the group?

 

*Hmmmm...not that I can think of at the moment but I'm sure something

will come up, lol*
