Weight loss for vegetarians

[LargeInCharge]

Hello!
I’ve been a vegetarian nearly all my life and I want to lose weight to be healthier (and to look better in my clothes) so I thought I’d create a space where fellow veggies (and vegans too) can share their weight loss journeys, food ideas, recipes and how they are feeling.

I started my journey on Tuesday so this is day 4 for me. My daily calorie limit is 1200.

Weight - 15st 4 (weighed on day 1)
Height - 5’ 9
Goal weight - 10st 7

How I gained weight - not exercising, eating crisps, cake, too many carbs and booze.
Positive changes - trying to be more active, ditched the crisps, cake and booze. Limiting my carbs as much as I can.

No pressure to reveal weight or anything that’s personal to you.

Good luck. 🥗🌽🥦🥬🥕🥒🫑🥑🥭🍅🍑🍓🍌🥥🫐

I'm very impressed that you resisted the cheesecake @LargeInCharge - that's some willpower. I've stopped intermittent fasting now. I managed it for two weeks which is 13 days longer than I thought I'd last for! I still weigh the same as last week as I've eaten a lot of food in my eight hour windows for the last week. Today I've eaten:
B - porridge with chopped banana, dates and linseeds.
L - a toasted bagel with light soft cheese and chilli jam, cherry tomatoes, 2 satsumas, a skinny bar.
S - a slice of sourdough seeded toast.
D - richmond sausages, mashed potatoes, carrots and peas, another skinny bar.
S a light babybel and 4 candy kittens.
Hope you've had a good weekend.

Thank you @Yourownpersonaljesus I was quite surprised at my willpower too. Dh had to throw some of it away (I don’t like food waste) but he did say he wouldn’t be buying it again so silver linings.

Well done on lasting two weeks and also not gaining (which is still a win).

I haven’t weighed since the 22nd and I’m really hoping to get into the healthy bmi range asap.

Happy Monday!

DD made the orzo from the green roasting tin book today. We didn't have any olive oil so she used chilli infused olive oil and it was actually really good. I think she could add less oil than the recipe says next time though to make it a bit healthier. I don't think it's too unhealthy though.

Sounds nice 😊

Dh made pancakes today and he made me two little ones (smaller than a ready made syrup pancake) which were lovely. I’ve gone over my calorie limit by a couple of hundred but I’m not too concerned, it’s just one day after all.

I also had pancakes today. Discovered the best filling ever - biscoff spread and banana.

I'm 5'10. Current weight: 79kg or 12st 6. Ideal weight: 10st - 10.5st (my usual adult weight). I'd be happy to get to 11st in the first instance though keto diet 30 days plan.
