Sophie kat,
I tended to be anemic too b4 I've made the switch (almost 3 yrs ago.) and with help of a vegetarian/vegan multi vitamin that's all being taken cared of. Besides, I'm the only vegetarian in my family; both of my kids eat meat (well, the occaisional hot dog, bacon or chicken nuggets, which for the latter I offer them the fake ones which they like thankfully.) . My DH eats what I cook but if he craves a piece of steak, he'll buy and make it for himself. Since I see it as a very personal decision, I'm absolutely fine with that. (Of course I would hope that my kids follow my footsteps one day... but they'll have to want to!) Anyway, what I'm saying is: You don't have to eat meat if you don't want to, even if your SO does! -Sorry, didn't mean to step on my soapbox!.. I sometimes get carried away... http://www.vegetariantimes.com has some yummy recipes as well as other sites, if you'd be interested. I will glance through my thick folders and books and see that I'll post my ultimate favorite recipes soon! (Sloppy Lentils come immediately to mind )

Welcome, Susan.
It sounds like you have lurked for a long time. I am impressed with your maintaining your weight loss. Maintainence is so much harder than the initial stages. Continued best wishes.

Truly I just often felt that many people were more knowledgeable and/or advanced than I was, so I preferred to read. Thanks for the welcome. |

Hi! I have recently joined the forum, after lurking for awhile. I have also recently became addicted to buying exercise dvds! I am an intermediate exerciser and enjoy a wide variety of different exercises. Right now I am into Ellen Barrett. Love reading the forum for inspiration and ideas.

Hello,
I joined this forum last week. I have been exercising since age 18 (30 now) with a four year hiatis that ended in January. I have restarted my workout regimen and lost about 20 lbs so far, got hopefully at least another 10 to go. I am trying to keep the motivation going, so I am exercising in the AM before I go to work, and finding that the change in the time of day I work out is making a difference ( I can't talk myself out of it anymore!). And I feel SO much better! Recently got a Kelly Coffey-Meyer DVD, always on the lookout for new fun DVDs to try. Glad to be here! Mel |

Hi Mel,
It sounds like you are on your way to reaching your goals! If it would help you to have a small group to talk to and report to, you might want to check out the section with check ins. They are smaller groups that start a new thread on a schedule (whatever the group decides) and they check in with each other. Some are totally exercise oriented. Some are gabfests (which I can say because I'm in one of those ). Anyway, just a thought. Oh, and welcome to VF!
