Hello all! Vegetarian here ...

  • Hello everyone! Not really sure how to do an introduction because I haven't really started "dieting". I decided as of a few hours ago that I needed to just jump into something already. I'm 27 years old, I've tried many things from starving myself to eating right and exercise. I'm a vegetarian, so things get a bit tricky when it comes to eating, i'm on this medication called Topamax too which is a Godsend for about 90% of the people on it, it's usually something that suppresses most peoples appetites but for me it seems to have done the complete opposite, moving on. For a very long time I tried a diet plan where I had vitamin B injections along with Phentermine pills, I dropped about 20lbs. I've gained albs back but successfully kept 15lbs off with absolutely no effort. Here I am though having a hard with with cravings and everything.

    I've come here to maybe get some help with motivation, ideas for anything and a way to jump start some sort of diet / exercise plan. 2 months ago, before I started this medication I weighed 170, right now i'm at 180 ...

  • Welcome, welcome! I'm new to vegetarianism (4 months), but I've found online blogs to be an easy way to expand my recipe list

    I wish you luck as you start this journey, there is lots of motivation and support to be found here.
  • Welcome! I'm vegan, and haven't had trouble losing (beyond the normal struggle we ALL experience when we change our eating habits). But I've been a fat omni, a fat pescetarian, a fat vegetarian, and a fat vegan. I've also been a thin version of every one of those, so don't think your eating philosophy has to hold you back! You can do this!
  • vegan starting over
    I have let myself fall off the wagon and although I am a hard core vegan I eat way too much and I eat way too much of high calorie food. So I am back to get my self under control and stop being obese. I have started drinking Spiru-tein shakes made with unsweetened almond milk my breakfast and lunch. Then I can have a large green vegetable laden sald for dinner with half an avocado and a drizzel,(tablespoon) of tahini.
    I have lost 10.5 pounds in 21 days.
