Hi Everyone,

I am from Dallas, Texas and have three grown kids (two boys and a girl)who have flown the coupe. A wonderful man (finally..long story) and 5 grandsons..I also am a newbie at living raw of any sort. I am 48 years old and was feeling older as the years came on. Along with weight. Started feeling and looking really puffy. Hated the look and wanted to feel better. Knew I needed to exercise but was always just too tired and would get winded very easily.

Soooo, started looking into the health and fitness.. Always was looking for something.. some formula to make me skinny... never found it.. Decided bodybuilders must know something and started looking into it... Well, ya gotta move to do that.. didn't get far... Well , I take that back. lost 25lbs.. but still didn't feel totally right for me..but the better I ate the better I felt..

Now I wanted more veggies in my life. knew I needed them so I looked into juicing... this has led me here...I have just recently gotten into that..

If my family and hubby can see a change in me and my attitude and how I look and feel maybe they will follow through also.. My oldest son has gone vegitarian...and he supports me on this and I saw him lose about 60 lbs.. but knew he did alot of walking...

So here I am with renewed commitment to eat raw, move even if it is walking everyday.. do some weights and re shape this old fat body into something new and wonderful!!

Hey, who says the last half of life has to be in a wheelchair?? These are MY years now.. :D This is gonna be MY YEAR!!

Welcome Neighbor!
You've found a great place for support and info!
Alissa's book is awesome too. I wish I had got it when I first
got into raw two years ago. It would of helped a lot!
Best Wishes on your raw journey!
