In December, I decided to become a vegetarian and I searched for an ivillage community and couldn't find one at the time. So this was a great, great surprise! I'm so happy to be able to join everyone here. I'm a lacto-ovo veggie as the labels go. I decided in December of 2004 to cut out meat completely and in Feb cut off my connection with seafood. It's been surprisingly easy for me, of course at times it is beyond difficult, but there is an amazing choice of veggie meals out there. My main struggle is trying to eat as healthy as possible and maintaining my lifestyle and plus my DH wonders if i'm getting protein or enough food! *L*
I'm very pleased to have discovered this message board and look forward to meeting everyone!
blessings,

Welcome, Tina!
Divide your body weight by .4, and you will know how many grams of protien you need over the course of the day (.6 to .9 if you are
I'm Alison, and I am also a lacto-ovo vegetarian. I have followed this lifestyle since giving up meat completely a year and a half ago. My fiance often wonders whether or not I am getting enough protien/food as well. ;-)
It's a learning process I have found. The more time I have spent as a vegetarian, the more I have learned about the lifestyle, and the easier it has become for me to continue.
I found this board about a year ago, and I have loved it ever since. I hope you find a home here too, and keep us updated on how you are. :-)
