Hi everyone, my wife (Tori333) and I are new here and new here and also new to raw. We have been vegans for over a year now, and we started juicing 3 years ago. When she met me, all that I would eat is meat, cheese and potatoes. She started us on juicing because she was so disturbed that I wouldnt eat any greens. I lost 70 lbs juicing and it totally triggered something in my mind that made me want to get even more healthy. I was the one that decided that our family needed to go vegetarian and a couple months later I also decided that we needed to go completely vegan. I did it more for the animal rights thing, and Tori333 does it more for our overall health.

We live in Snohomish, WA, and own a juice bar called Zella Juice, which we opened as a way to help us keep with the healthy lifestyle that we are trying to lead along with expose others to the health aspects of juicing. We are going to start a raw food program at our business as well and encourage people to go vegan and raw...

I hope this place is cool, I post mostly on heavy metal forums, so this is completely different from what I am used to, I am sure.

We are happy to have ya! Congrats on all the weight loss.
So cool about your juice bar...a plan of mine as well. It must be so great to be able to go to your store and have all the juice your want!
And FYI...I am a unlikely fan of METAL!
First concert in Sept. '84 (age 13) - AC/DC
Another concert fall '84 - Motely Crue and Ratt (the Crue's first album is one of my all time favs!)
Winter '91 - Metallica
Love local Boston band Scissorfight - a must see IF they come to the Pacific NW...they have more of a hardcore vibe. They put on quite a rockin' show.
Best to you on your journey!
