I have been looking for you guys!

Hi veggies! I have been looking for other ww veggies for a long time. I usually post to the 20's board and there are really none there. So glad to have found a veggie home. Doesn't seem like there are many of us around. Anyway, here's my story. I am back again. 2 years ago I lost 20 pounds on ww. The year before that I lost 20 punds just working out and watching the food. Now I have put 30 pounds back on and need it off. I have been a veggie (not vegan, sorry) for almost 2 years now. I stopped eating meat when I found my Cholestorol at a very high level. I droped it 40 points just by cutting out the meat. I will eat eggs and dairy (organic) and the ocasional piece of fish. Basically I eat too many carbs and that's what got me here. I am getting back into the Wendie plan tomorrow so I can lose this weight before my HS reunion in April. So, anyway, that's me. What about you?

Hey Molly, I'm a working-on-becoming-veggie T20! So is Jenny (momofpugz). So is Sarah (PinkGlttr). This veggie thread is wonderful, but don't feel lonely over on the 20s board either! :kiss:

Hello Molly,

Nice to hear from more veggies! I think lots of people are, but don't post much about it, as it is not very interesting to omnivores!

I have a similar history as you. When I was about 24 I lost about 40 lbs over 2 years, on my own, just by working out a lot and eating really low-fat, veggie and healthy.

I maintained that weight for about 5 years.... then I got divorced and stopped working out as much... gained back about 30 lbs. A few years later, I joined WW and have lost about 23 lbs so far. I would like to get back to 124, but I think I am more muscular now then I was back then. I used to only swim for exercise. I lost 40 lbs swimming, but got so bored that I started to do step aerobics, hike more, run, and use machines at the gym.

I am currently hovering around 129-131. I like how I look, and wear a size 4-6 pants. I think that that is pretty good, for me, but I may try to lose the tummy come nice weather.

Congrats on shifting to less meat. It is really good for you! I've been veggie since I was ten (my whole family shifted), so it is really just a lifestyle for me. I wouldn't change for the world!

Please join in on the weekly/daily thread!
