Hello! My name is Jamie and I am a student in Georgia with a mission to lose about 30 pounds by fall semester.
I enjoy exercising, but it is often to hard to motivate myself to get up and go to the gym. once I'm there, however, I have no problem working out for an hour to an hour and a half.
I am a vegetarian, aspiring vegan, which I have been for almost 2 years.
I am incorporating my vegetarian lifestyle with a low-calorie diet. I am aiming for 1000-1200 calories a day, most of my calories coming from nutrient dense fruits and veggies.
any advice would be appreciated! I look forward to being a part of this community.

There is an alternachicks forum with vegetarian/vegan discussions that you might be interested in. Also, some others and I are starting again on Monday the Eat to Live program by Dr. Joel Furhman. Why don't you join us? See our thread in veggie chicks.

Hi Jamie. So glad you are here...
