New month... How about some before and afters???

[Coriander74]

Ok guys, it's November... let's get some inspiration up here!!!

The first photo was taken at the time of my "before" photo on my journal, I hadn't changed until I first went Raw in June... so it's pretty accurate.
The second photo was taken on Saturday when my aunt came to town.

Does "strong sad" mean what I think it means? ;)

[protea]

WOW!!! Coriander and Jenna - you two look absolutely incredible!! :p
I ams currently really struggling to get back into raw vegan, but you are both a wonderful inspiration to show what raw does for those who follow it!

Okay, I'll be brave and do this too! My before picture is at 140 lbs. and the after photo is at 112 lbs. at my son's Las Vegas wedding 2 summers ago. I seemed to settle in at about 115 to 118 lbs. now which was my high school weight and the lowest adult weight I'd ever had. All my weight gain goes to my tummy, I am an apple shape so it is nice to have a waist again!

I'm 5' 6" and 48 years young!

[Veganforlife]

WHOA! Everyone looks great!
YOW-ZA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Does "strong sad" mean what I think it means? ;)
I'm thinking LOTS of different things it could mean...
hmmmm... :rolleyes:
*tapping fingers on the desk*

Here's one:

Strong Sad is a character in the Homestar Runner series of animated cartoons. He is the Eeyore of the cast, a big round grey lump of depression. Strong Sad is the youngest of the brothers Strong (Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and himself), and often finds himself on the receiving end of a humiliating prank by Strong Bad.

Coriander,
You look truly amazing and radiant!! Congratulations! I just wanted to know what % raw you were eating up till now... I'm really struggling at the moment and thinking of going to about 80% raw :rolleyes:

[LightLover]

Jenna, you have grown up beautiful like a brand new day :)

Coriander,

Protea, before June, I would have a salad or some fruit with my "normal" meals... but I wasn't anywhere near rawism. Some days I didn't even have any fruits or veg.

As of right now I'm 100%. There have been times during the past 4+ months where I would have a slip and have cooked, but I would say I"ve been 100% raw for about 3 1/2 months solid.

It's a struggle every day not to give in, I would say just eat all the Raw you can, and not worry about percentages right now. Enjoy how your body feels eating living and raw foods :D

Thank you so much for your compliment, if it hadn't been for Shmoopie and all the wonderful people on this board, I could never have done this :D

[protea]

Coriander,
Thank you so much for your supportive message - you have no idea (or maybe you do!) how much this helps me! I read your journal and it is very motivating! So, tomorrow I start once more... and will focus less on % raw, just as much raw as possible!! I'm definitely going to the store after work and purchase fresh goodies! Wish me luck!!
