charlotte's first challenge

[Stag]

Hey my names Nathan! I'm an English major student in CT, USA. I've only been a vegetarian for about 5 months now, so I'm relatively new to the lifestyle. I do cardio heavy training and am currently training for a 1/2 marathon.

 

My favorite animals are pigs (I miss bacon, but feel so good not to be munching on pigs anymore.) And pumpkins are my favorite vegetable.

[Leithient]

Hey, I will sign up later, but I'm interested.

I am from Spain. And I'm vegetarian for a couple of weeks. I was veget during 7 years in the past, but I had to stop it due to lack of iron and, well, sometimes life just happens. But I realized I wasn't comfortable eating meat so I'm here.

My favourite animal is the wolf (I don't have to miss it, luckily) and my fav vegetable are artichokes and onions.

Good luck with the half marathon training.

[Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*]

All right, I'm in:)  

 

I am mathieu, I have been vegetiarian since 8 years now may be a little more I am not sure. I am from Canada.

 

I love endurance sports, hicking, bicking, running etc. My curent challenge is about swimming (first step to a triathlon). My favorite animal, it is hard to pick one. crow probably crow:) as for my favorite veretable, I would say yellow and red pepper. 

[Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*]

Just because I saw that you are relatively new (and old/new), to vegetarianism, I will suggest you to look into this website: www.nomeatathlete.com

 

There is a lot of very good info on sport (expecialy running) and vegeanism

Hi! My name's Erin, I live in Melbourne, Australia and this is my second challenge. I'm with the Rangers.

I've been vegetarian for eight or nine years now and part of my challenge is to go vegan for the duration and see how it goes/if I can be disciplined enough to be healthy and eat enough while training. I'm following the Rebel Running Guide as well, training for a 15k.

My favourite animal is probably the elephant and my favourite veggies are asparagus and broccoli.

Hey, Mathieu, Welcome to the group! I want to tackle a tri some day too, swimming will be a future challenge. And just wondering, with the crow fave, are you by any chance a Game of Thrones fan?

Great resource! So much. I'm going to take a day soon and immerse myself.

Hey Erin! Welcome to the group! =]]

[Stag]

I started the group with the general idea the us veggies could support eachothers challenges, but this can be as big or as small as you guys would like it to be.

 

We could do group chats, or side quests, or vegeterian book cluby stuff. Just throw in some feedback of what you would like to get out of this group =].

[Leithient]

Welcome to the group and good luck for everyone. The challenge is starting!

I know this website, is very useful when you try to have a healthy vegetarian diet (I mean, without being on a carbohydrates party).

[Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*]

I am a game of thrones fan yes, even if I didn't thought about that choosing the crow. It is more because I have found one a few years back on a camping trip and have nursed it a while before taking it to a ''bird caring'' place. 

[Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*]

I LOVE IT. You've made very cool, team picture. Can I use mine in my signature with a link to the team?

[Fitz_Hulk]

I love the pictures you've made for all of us! Holy crap! Thanks so much!

 

I think mostly what I'm hoping to get out of the group is vegetarian/vegan support in regards to being accountable with diet and cravings. I'd always appreciate you guys checking in on my thread and I'm happy to do the same.

Glad you like it =]! We will watch threads, and be generally a supportive bunch.

Hello!  I just joined NF and signed up for my first six week challenge.  I've been a vegetarian for 15 years, and I've been trying to eat and cook more vegan food lately.  I love pretty much all animals, but I think my favorite is the capybara.  My favorite vegetable is broccoli--delicious!

[Leithient]

And, as Matt Frazier says, a superfood! Welcome to the team!

[pearlescence]

Hello!  My name is Pearl, and I've been a lacto-ovum vegetarian for about two months now.  I am loving it.  I am eating better than I ever have, and feel wonderful.

 

My challenge is linked in my signature, and I'm mostly focused on training with weights, cardio a couple times a week, and yoga. I'm from MA, so if you're in southern Mass and wanna meet, hit me up.  I'm looking for a workout buddy/television enthusiast.  My challenge is Mulan themed, so check it out.  I'm proud of it, and eager to see if I can stick with my goals.

 

My favorite animals are cats, any size, large or small, and my favorite vegetable at the moment is the noble cucumber.  There was a sale at my grocery store this week, so I picked some up, and fell in love.  I've been eating cucumber slices like potato chips, drinking cucumber water (SO REFRESHING), and I always have a healthy stock of pickles at my disposal.  I mean, I've had cucumbers before, but lately, I'm really into them.

[Stag]

I just had a great run and now am at an amazing vegan Chineese restaurant called China Pan. Eating Generals Tsos Vegan Beef: in heaven.

Welcome newcomers! I'll throw together graphics to for you guys sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. =] Glad to have ya!

[charlotte]

Thanks for the graphic, Harnvin!  I love it!  

 

And welcome Pearlescence!

[jeremyrf]

Very good idea, man!  I'm definitely following this thread.  I've been vegetarian for about 7 years.   Working on subbing out my grains and legumes with some better options.  Looking forward to staying in touch with other meatfree pals!

[Fitz_Hulk]

Hey, how's everyone going after week one? Does anyone feel that they need more support/accountability? Now might be a good time to check in with everyone and see if there;s anything anyone wants fro this group that they feel they're not getting.

[Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*]

My week one have been a busy one, but not as active as I would have liked. I have skipped two day more than first planned. (but I had great workouts the rest of the week).

I just talked about the restaurant in my region on my challenge...  and have to admit I am very jaleous of what you have access to in your aera... can you mail some of the vegan beef to me? I wonder what it taste like. 

 

As for the group, I find it great there is a lot of people I can follow I haven't had time to see and comment on the challenge of everyone, but I like the possibility to see people with similar goals and follow them. for now I have no propositions of something to change

[Stag]

I'm really digging this group. This might sound bad, but I find it way easier to support and follow the groups diet goals because I have trouble relating to other Nerd Fitters who eat 3/4 pounds of chicken for a healthy meal. Like I understand that is a viable way to eat healthy but I struggle to get enthusiastic about it.

 

My challenge this week has gone very well, but I'm starting to question my diet goal a bit. Maybe thinking of a way to re-frame it.

[jeremyrf]

Hey guys! First week was at about 50% of goals, but that's why they are goals! This week is off to a great start. Hope my meatless buddies are rocking and rolling too! New work schedule is definitely helping!! I've also added an egg a day to help replace some of the huge amounts of tofu I've been eating. And trying 1 week without grains just to see how I move and feel. I'll keep ya posted! Anyone else attempting no or few grains? How's it going?

[Fitz_Hulk]

I'm attempting to limit grains, but I'm not letting it be the focus of my diet switch at the moment. I'm concentrating on eating enough, because I'm already limiting so much.
