New to raw, new to the boards *waves from CNY*

Hi everyone,
My name is asha and I just found your site and it seems great! I am very new to raw food (day 8), and I am enjoying it!

I have lots of questions and ponderings on this new way of living, so I shall be posting them over the new few days, I hope some of you may be able to help.

I have been vegetarian since the age of 5 (by personal choice, only one in my family - strong willed child), I haven't eaten eggs in many many years, but have always struggled with giving up milk and cheese.

I have made a point to eat organically whenever possible for the last 6 years or so, and am very passionate about it.

I have lived in the US for 3 years, and origianlly hail from Oxford, England, and plan eventually to move back there. I live in upstate New York with my hubby and 3 cats.

Concerning raw food, my intention is to eat about 80-90% raw. I am really interested in the benefits of this way of life, especially the weight loss aspect!!!! so far I have lost around 3lbs.

I look forward to interacting with you all on these boards.
