Veggie Challenge 2009!!!!!!!!!

Veggie Challenge 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This challenge started with me asking Paige if maybe she would like to go vegan for a bit, and she said she would try.  She even made a thread about it.  This time, though, I'll make it in levels:
LEVEL ONE: EASY.  Try cutting out red meat for a week.
LEVEL ONE: MODERATE.  Try going vegetarian for a week.
LEVEL ONE: HARD.  Try going vegan for a week.
LEVEL TWO: EASY.  Try cutting out red meat for a month.
LEVEL TWO: MODERATE.  Try going vegetarian for a month.
LEVEL TWO: HARD.  Try going vegan for a month.
LEVEL THREE: Yowza.  Level three would be too hard, anyway. :)
DO YOU ACCEPT A CHALLENGE?
If yes, choose which challenge you feel ready to do.  Post your progress on this thread!
Let's get going!!!!!!!!!! :)
NOTE: If you need help or support, ask and it will be given.

Ok, that's a great idea except for I'm already veggie and my parents won't let me go vegan. But it's a great idea!!

AW!!  BellaTrix, I want to so bad!!!!

(for those who don't know, I'm a veggie, but not vegan... too many things I already don't eat, cutting down even more would be murderous!!!!)

But mom will object.  Don't get me wrong, she loves vegan, and wishes she could be, too, but as I said, it's too hard.  I'll try to convince her to let me do it for a week, but I can't promise anything!!!!!

(I found out recently that my singing teacher has been vegan for more than a year!!!!)

Aw. Too bad. :(

Why do everyone's parents always object?! It would only be for a week, not permanently! And I'm vegan and I don't have any health problems, least of all protein deficiency . . . *mumblegrumblemumble*

Well, mine do because I'm not very good at getting enough protein (this happened even when I ate meat) and I'm into a lot of sports, so it's hard for me to get enough energy just being veggie. Any good veggie recipes? Track started last week and I've started losing weight a lot faster than I should. It's kinda scary. So, any ideas on veggie recipes that are packed with protein and will make me hold a steady weight?
