I'm Elian from upper South Carolina. I'm actually on day 23. The first two weeks (before this website) I cheated on the weekends. I have a 6 year old son. The more raw I eat, the more my child will eat eventually. Hubby is eating much better too!

My reasons for going raw are:
- I'm 4' 10" and my start weight was 172 lb! - enough is enough, I'm tired of gaining 5-10 pounds per year
- I want to be a good role model for my child
- We've been trying to get pregnant again for 4 years. I don't want drugs or expensive medical procedures that probably won't work. We've actually started the adoption process. I'm open to both.
- I've never been regular. In fact I've been spotting since the day before going raw. A few days ago things increased greatly so I know I'm detoxing.
- I know it's the right thing to do.

Anyway, thank you Alissa for this board. I read a lot, but don't post too much. Thank you everyone for your wisdom. I look forward to a long relationship.

Welcome to the board!!

You will find a lot of great support and awesome recipes. Alissa's book is wonderful. Keep doing what you do and don't let others sway you from your desired goal. Good luck and happy raw eating!!

Congratulations on 23 days being raw and seeing a difference already in your health! I live in NC, but I know there's a raw food potluck meetup somewhere in northern SC, have you heard about that? I think they are in the Fort Mill area.

I too have a 6 year old son, am overweight, and we've tried for the last 4 years unsuccessfully to conceive as well. And we have thought of looking into adoption/fostering sometime in the future. I'm getting a little too old to continue thinking of babies, so that time may have passed for me now. Although it's still fun to think about having a body healthy enough to support a pregnancy and a healthy raw baby!

I've been almost all raw (a few bad moments), since Feb 1st. I'm really feeling a huge difference in the way I feel and look.
