:D Well... I have awaken each day for the past 2 years at least with the same thought...I really want to lose weight weight and feel great! What I want most of all is to not feel slugglish every day and to clean my body from the inside/out. A wonderful Spiritual Sister of mine introduced me to the world of 100% Raw Foods. At first, I told her that she was crazy! There was no way I was going to do that! Never eating hot wings, pizza, barbeque, pasta, or anything cooked again was totally insane to me...until I saw Alissa on the Tyra show. She really got me thinking and so I began to look into it and decided to try some of the meals. I'm soooooo glad I did, because now I've been 6 days into my 100% Raw diet and I have lost 7 pounds!!! I really have!!! I even dusted off my treadmill and have felt (hold on to your hat.....) MOTIVATED to get on it EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!! How wonderful it that!!! I'm learning that the key for me is not to allow myself to get hungry. Before I cook for my hubby, I make sure that I eat or drink a smoothie or juice so that I don't feel deprived. I am determined more than ever to succeed in getting my body back!!! When I look in the mirror, I can see past the fat to thinner, healthier person waiting to come out! I'm looking forward to greeting her and helping her to stay around for the rest of my life!

Very cool! You go! I have a daughter named Renea. Good name.
You will do great with this. And it's awesome, because you are not deprived of anything!
Do you have Alissa's book? If not, you really should get it.
This is wonderful!!! YAY YOU!

I'm still keeping my focus today! A few minutes ago, my husband came strolling in with some Church's Chicken! Even though it smells good, I am DETERMINED ***NOT*** to eat any of it!!! I don't even want to taste a bite of it... I am remembering what Alissa says in her book and I am making a choice not to put that into my body anymore! As a matter of fact, I think I'll get it out and read it while I nibble on my Zucchini Pasta with Marinara Sauce! Thank you so much Alissa for having this site! All of you guys are so encouraging to me and I'm glad to have the support!
