Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello Nik! Welcome to our group. I'm Cindi, one of the group owners. Glad you found us. Happy almost birthday! :-) What finally caused you to take action in becoming vegetarian after just thinking about it? I think that's great that you have supportive people around you, even if they don't understand. We have members in this group who have been vegetarians for decades and some for just days so we are quite the mix here. Some eat dairy & eggs, like myself, others are vegan, others eat raw and some aren't even vegetarian (but respect the group guidelines) and are looking for meatless recipes to enhance their diets and their weight loss/control programs. There's lots of resources in our files section, as well as yummy recipes, so make sure you visit the group's home page. Again, welcome!

How long?-- new vegetarian, after thinking about it for months and months. * Are you the only veggie or wannabe in your household? How many others?-- i'm flying solo though my best friend is... well i guess she is a wannabe. my parents are being very supportive now though they don't quite understand. * Do you do the cooking or is it shared?-- i do it myself... and have probably cooked more now than i did before. WAIT! Anything else you would like to tell us? This is your Big Chance!!!-- oh wow, that almost inpires stage fright or something. seriously, am happy to be here and hope i eventually have something of value to add. for the time being though i will probably just drive everybody nuts with a million and one questions. .

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 You're welcome! Yea, I tend to be a procrastinator too. I wish I would have started changing my eating habits when my doc first got on me instead of months later. I'm sure I'd have lost more than the 30 pounds I've dropped so far! Oh well...better late than never right? :-) Good on you for making a conscious decision to take care of yourself!
