Hi - I'm Melanie and today is day 5 as a vegetarian. I'm working on getting the vegetarian down before I take out the cheese and some milk. I already don't drink glasses of milk and I think I can not eat eggs. Cheese and yogurt will be the hardest, although I eat the yogurt in morning...

I've wanted to do this for a while and I am not quite sure what has stopped me in the past. I went vegetarian for a few months with no problem a few years ago and went back to my lazy meat eating ways for some reason or another. So then I find out recently that my big brother who gave me a...

Hi I am not a consistant vegetarian. I rely on sustainable seafood a lot but no other meat than that. I sometimes go long periods of time completely vegetarian and always struggle to maintain it. It's giving up the seafood i just can't seem to do. I have type 1 diabetes and already have limited...

Good morning! I'm Jen from Bloomington, Indiana. I'm new to this board, but not exactly new to vegetarianism. I gave up meat in college (late 80s) and was meat free for 8-9 years. Unfortunately, I didn't focus on healthy foods as much as I should have-- I often called myself a "grilled-cheese...
