Soon, soon. Not quite ready to do that yet. But I will - promise!

[allgirls]

I think this would be very motivational to us newbies :D

[Draginvry]

Funny you should mention that. I just ordered a camera. I decided that my bike ride today was too nice to not have pictures of.

Just give a few weeks for my order to arrive. Then you'll have some nice pics of my bod :eek:

[Bethanie]

:D I'm so looking forward to these pictures. After i exercise in the morning i take a look at my body but it's just not the same as seeing how others have progressed.
It would give up hope and encouragement. :D :D :D

[Bingka]

Okay.... Give me a few hours and I willpost a new pic of myself. I have a pic of myself in my user gallery, but I am clothed. I think you will still be able to see the difference though....

Ken

First pic is today. The second is august 16th.

[Bethanie]

:D Your complexion is beautiful, if that's okay to say.
Great profile, what a great picture. What a way to start off this post.
Thanks

[Bingka]

Thanks....

I haven't seen my pics next to each other either. The bags under my eyes are gone. And my cheeks are a bit skinnier. I am very happy with the progress....

Here is a side by side for easier viewing

WOW, Bingka you look very handsome!

You've got the glow....

Look younger by 10 years

Even the color of your hair,eyebrows are more warmer

Face shape has changed and eyes are brighter blue!


Congrats my good friend ;)

[Veganforlife]

Yup! You got that glow thang going! You're looking good dude!!! :D

[rawbeliever]

WOW, you look great, Binka! What Linda said...definitely 10 years younger. Amazing. You've only been doing this for a little over 30 days, right?

[Bingka]

Thank you all for the kind words...I am currently 35 and getting younger everyday.

Miss Linda you make me blush.......Do it again....hahahahahaha...

My first day raw was August 16th, 2006. But the first week was mostly SAD. I reconfimed my commitment on August 22, 2006. I have been 99% raw ever since. I can't believe the changes I am going thru.

Thank you all for the support

Ken

[Coriander74]

LOL

Let me get through PMS and bloating first and then I will take some :p It's about time for me to do that anyways.

I can't wait to see more!

ETA: Bing you look AMAZING!

[sweet pepper]

Bing
Congratulations for 30 days. I keep trying and get sidetracked, but this morning I started again and so far doing pretty good.
Again, Congrats! You have given me encouragement.........I want the same improvements for myself.

I have to admit Bingka, your before photo, I thought you were 42-44ISH in age :D

BINGKA FOR PRESIDENT!

[Bethanie]

:D All the progress you've made and you are "high raw", that's encouraging.
Please give us a sample of your meal for a day please.
You should be in PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!! :cool: :cool:
Bethanie

[Bingka]

I know, I looked pretty old... (compared to my age). It was the beard :(

I eat very little currently...

Today I ate:

1 avocado
2 tomatoes
2 cucumbers
medium salad - includes above ingredients
hand full cashews

Oh yea - half a watermelon for dinner - that rocks.....

I can't wait until I am happy with the rest of my body. Maybe I will post one just to motivate myself.... Put my rawness on display..... lol

Thanks again for the kind words. You all motivate me to continue.

Ken

[spicyfull]

Well Bingka she asked and you just HighJacked this Thread. And with your Clothes on too.

You look great, you look Good, keep up the GOOD Work. Next time SHOW US THE 6 PACK.

RAW, RAW, RAW,..........

[Coriander74]

I've lost over 20 pounds in a little over 3 months.
I've lost over 13 inches.
I've regained my health and my vitality.
My skin is clearer.
I'm more at peace with myself and the universe.
I've stumped two doctors!

I haven't been perfect 100% of the time but I have been 100% for the last 10 days :D

[KindnessToAllCreatures]

Ken- I agree with what everyone else has said. Your dimples are also much more prominent in your raw transformation- Adorable!

Corinne- You look so much younger. And healthier. And happier. You always seem to be a beacon of loving light; this really shines through in your photo.

With Love.

[Bingka]

corrine - very impressive. You look awesome......

Keep it up!!!

Ken

[maraw]

Boy Ken, you made me look twice! Raw looks GOOD on you! ;) Wow!

And Corinne, you should be a raw model/spokesperson.

OK, so I guess I'll post too. I don't have one that is more recent, but these will have to do. The "before" is where I was not quite two years ago. The "after" pic was taken the week I returned home from Alissa's training last May. I haven't had any more recent ones taken - I'm too busy taking pictures of my children and my raw food recipes! :D The trio pic is one I did in May of last year after I had been raw for about two weeks. I could tell it was going to change not only my health, but my mind and body as well. I wanted to always remember from whence I came.

I can't believe I'm showing you guys my really fat pictures. I don't get these out for just anyone I want you to know. This is true love and support coming out.

edited follow-up a few moments later...

my daughter standing next to me while I type, looked at the pictures and said, "Mommy, is that you? You were FAT! You look crazy!"

...from the mouth of babes.

[Bethanie]

Ladies, you look lovely, you are my inspiration.
I learned how to do push ups today off the t.v. i've very excited and can't wait to show my husband.
These pictures are encouraging not only me but i'm sure everyone that is seeing them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to post them.
I will be learning how to do this and will post mine as i have started slimming down in my waist and am very happy about it. :D
Bethanie

[Bethanie]

:D You are encouraging me by posting them. Most women have weight problems in those areas and it just shows me how far i can go if i don't let myself get discouraged.
Thank you for posting them and you look GREAT!!!!!!!!!! :) :D :D

[Draginvry]

I'm not really raw, I still eat lots of cooked foods. But I exercise constantly. I may be skinny, but I assure you it is due to genetics, not malnourishment.

Here's me in a sitting meditation:

And here, I'm thinking about something which must have seemed profound at the time:

Bingka, every advantage has it's disadvantage.
I followed a fruitfast for 10 days, and people tought I looked like a warvictim
in my face, so much was gone I could feel the difference around my mouth(and the sad thing was i felt better than ever) , while if you do this people will appreciate your new slims looks.

* lil fairy z girl: now I now why I don't like people talking about reincarnation and about previous lives: it's just so subjective and everything said can also be said but in the opposite way, and the logic and feeling is the same for both directions, we are getting nowhere .

* oh.. but you are so much brighter and much more matured on your path , you reincarnate in your own life and with your new life you show all your previous lifes at the same time, no nonsense words about being a queen or so in the past, and nobody can opposite this, there is no feeling or logic that can opposite your before and after pictures , and i am touched... :)
