As I read all the entries here I am a little shy to tell you why I started raw and even excercising again.

A BET

See 14 years ago I ran my first marathon. I went on to run for maybe 3 years was very good and then walk away from it. Took up competitive ballroom dance and was just as good I walked away after 2 years when I lost me partner. Since then I have been on an unintentionally quest to see how fat, lazy and unhealthy I can get.

I met the young lady that started me running a few weeks back. Well, I guess neither of us or young anymore are we. So anyway she is unhealthy but, fit at least. So she bet me I could not do this and stick to it.

I don't know why I am telling you all this. Anyway, I bet raw would make no real difference and neither would excercise that it has been to long to change.

So my 10 days results are surprising.

Starting weightt 171.8 and today 160.6

My measurement differences are incredible. (better than I ever thought)

Chest 45.5 in today 41.5
Upper Arm 13 today 13
Fore Arm 10 today 9 3/4
Neck 14 today 13.5
Waist 39 today 35
Hips 43.5 today 42 3/4
Thighs 25 today 25

My headaches are gone, my allergies have cleared up and I like to get up in the morning now.

I know I am new here and my results seem to be typical if not underachieving LOL compared to some I just was completely astounded today when it was time to take my measurements.

Dare to dream that could be me again on the road running. we'll just dream a while longer.

Thanks for listening to me ramble. Have a great day everyone.

Very good point, how you get there is definitely not as important as getting there

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement.

It is not important that they laugh at you or with you only that they laugh.

It makes ZERO difference WHY you are here, what matters is that you have seen with your own proof that Raw is the deal!!

Let us know how things go! hang around and be both a support to others and let us give you the same :)
