Hey Vanessa
Welcome! I would love to buddy up for a more diligent and responsible diet control myself. I tried to send a private message to you but it didn't agree,

I am a vegetarian too, actually I am Indian. Married for 6 years with 2 kids, almost 4 yr girl and 8 mnth Boy.
While I do not follow a specific diet plan. I count calories, watch what I eat, avoid fried food. But while I cook for my family, I sometimes slip.. well make it most times,
I live in Dallas, TX and I am 31.
I hope you will be the inspiration I am looking for. I started this journey at 234on May 23rd, my birthday.
I am now at 209 but I am stuck there the past 4 weeks. 4 looong weeks,
Hope to hear from you soon,
Neelu
