Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 > I had an anniversary luncheon party to go to, followed by a dinner. . . . Wow - good for you, Maryann! If that was your first real test, that's a big one! Congratulations. And don't worry about that pound - it was probably the salt, as you say, and you know how to get rid of that Best love, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Congrats on staying veggie. Maryann, I was so impressed by your weight loss and by your positive attitude that last week I found the motivation to start a vegan diet. I've challenged myself to eat more fresh fruit (I love veggies, but never a big fan of fruit), and to cut way back on fat. I haven't missed neither the dairy nor the eggs, and I've lost 3 pounds in the past week. This group is so awesome! Marie Maryann <njitaliana wrote: I felt good that I stayed vegetarian, tho! Hopefully, I will take it off in a couple days. Maryann Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with FareChase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 That's great, Marie! I found out tonight that my 15 yr old daughter--who only weighs 116-- has high cholesterol!! The doctor said to stop eating fast food, and I told her we haven't been in a fast food restaurant in years. My daughter eats more healthily than most kids her age. But, I told her tonight that her cheese addiction is going to have to end if she wants her cholesterol lower. That is the thing she eats the most of, and it's so high in cholesterol. This week, my hubby is also doing the Fuhrman detox diet, so all our meals at home will be vegan, even my daughter's. I hope my husband sticks with this diet, and doesn't go back to meat, eggs and dairy, not just for his sake, but for our daughter's, too. For all I know, my daughter could have familial high cholesterol (she is adopted), but I still would feel better if she went mostly vegan with her diet.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just finished that book " Eat to Live " and will be on the 6 wk plan soon also. Leave tomorrow for about 10 days vacation so will not be able to avoid all those fats and some pasta dishes...... refined bread (sigh). After reading that book, I really have 2nd thoughts on continuing some foods for my children! I will re-read through the book some more and re-group my thoughts. Sounding like my husband is open to working with me on this. I never thought I would receive opposition from him about my food choices but I have. He even said I was getting " fanatical " about not eating animal products - I just jumped right back into him and asked if he was " being fanatical " about NEEDING animal products LOL! After reading out loud to him from many sections, he is getting a different opinion if only from a health perspective. Leaving tomorrow so will not be able to see comments for awhile but I would be interested in how some of you were able to keep your children happy while drastically changing their food habits too. My boys are 8 and 11. Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 congrats! I've been bad lately and have been eating the [non-veg content edited by moderator] that DH made for lunch today and dinner last night. But on a good note I'm down a pound 204! Not bad considering just back in April I was 215! So the veggie diet is working, now I just have to keep up with it and stop cheating. Jackie K.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 We tried one of those Quorn turkey roll thingys. Wow, excellent, and I am pretty picky about that sort of thing. The texture was very good, flavor, everything. I saw that my local Whole Foods had a stuffed Quorn turkey thing but I wasnt willing to pay the price for it. So we settled for a plain jain 'turkey' roll. I will save these for special occassions though as I have issues with gluten. But we were throwing caution to the wind yesterday anyway. I dont have as horrible a reaction to wheat as some but I do react. And my girl loved it, that we found a vegetarian 'turkey'. A great dinner and no one had to die. lol So we all had something to be thankful for, including the real turkey! Kandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
