Aloha Rawbies - I posted this on my journal - but thought I would also post it here. I have created a 'group room' where those of us that are journaling (and anyone else can join in too!) we post our B4 photos and also photos of general stuff like family - friends, places we travel to.

ADDRESS IS UP ABOVE! The Album is called STARFIRE's B4s and AFTERS! ... Make sure to click on VIEW ALL ALBUMS so you don't miss any photos!

I have finally been able to get my B4 photos and after the April 30 day challenge photos uploaded! iTS FUN JUST TO COMPARE MY BOOTY SHOTS! LOL!!!

RAW RAWKS! oh and in one of the photos - in the back ground you can see a Papaya tree loaded with lots of baby papayas and beyond that a huge lychee tree. Well I"m not sure if you can actually see the lychee tree - but its there!!

[Veganforlife]

WOWIE ZOWIE GIRL! You are beautiful. You were before, but golly day! You must be so proud. YOU RAWK!!!! Love your tattoos! Who's looking at the trees? How much have you gotten rid of (weight-wise)? That is amazing!!!

[barose]

OH MY GOD!! You look so good! You were pretty hot before too, but you made a major transformation. Congrats for staying raw!

[RawNubian]

OH MY GOSH! Dang girl! You look like a different person! 30 pounds lost all in the month of April??? Are you sure you weren't just eating strawberries and celery??? LOL just kidding!
Wow, congratulations, you look rawesome! :)

[StarFire]

Thank you! You are soo sweet *blush*... I lost a total of 30 pounds in the April 30 day challenge. I was shocked to see such a weight loss b/c I didn't weigh myself until the 30th day.

During the May challenge I have only lost 5 pounds - but gained one back the other day somehow! But during May - I think it's been more about losing inches b/c my clothes are much looser. :D !!

I am very blessed to have found this site - everyone is so supportive... and filled with information! I love the Raw lifestyle - it has been such a gift to me... and put a smile back on dh's face for sure!;)

I still have a lot of work to do - some more weight I'm hoping will come off - but I want my body to find it's balance. and lots and lots of toning... lordie do I need toning :rolleyes: !!

but thank you for your kind comments! I just wanted to share b/c Alissa said - "Just give it 30 days - you won't regret your decision, the benefits you'll experience after JUST 30 DAYS will amaze you!"

so I tried it and well... I am so blessed to be on the road to health for the first time in my life -- I've waited 50 years to find this path - for me -- RAW is NOW my Lifestyle! :D

You are definately a big inspiration for me. You are living proof of the power of raw!

[shooting star]

OMG you look amazing - what fantastic photos.

And in only 30 days - what an amazing incentive to us all. yeah!


(Just noticed in your post you said you had been waiting 50 years for this. There is no way you are 50. Seriously - no frigging way! You've got to be exaggerating right?)

[Beckla]

My hat is off to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, that's what my grandkids call me Grammie!:D

[shooting star]

I don't believe you - really I don't. You look much younger than 50 even in your before photos, and in your after photos I'd definitely place you as early 30s. I'm not flattering you - you look amazing. I hope I look as fab as you do in 20 years time.

Yeah for raw living!

[lavendarJ]

Go Starfire!!!

[SuziS]

You are looking soooo great! Congrats!

[ReneeH]

I'm SOOO proud of you... YOU RAWK MAMA!!!! I ***LOVE*** the idea that you didn't weigh yourself until the 30 days were up! I went out of town this week and fell off (frown--not THAT bad, though!), but you have inspired me to do a May challenge!!! Thank you Mama Fire!!!!!

[vgloveforlife]

WOW WOW Just WOW!! Amazing transformation!

[Fancy Nancy]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Thank You for the Inspiration :D
Rawk On :)

[Dj 247]

You look awesome! WHOO HOO! I will post my before and afters as soon as I can figure out how. I am so computer challenged!

[magglepie]

Girl you look amazing! Way to go!

[StarFire]

THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU everyone - for being so encouraging!! :p and Major thanks to Alissa and her staff -- and to all of you for sharing information so readily, for all the laughter and joy reading your posts brings me each day! You guyz are the BEST RAWBIES EVER!! :D

[RawVegan4Health]

Wow! Looking hot!:D

[Vegan Princess]

Holy cow! Starfire you seriously do not even look like the same person anymore!! You are so beautiful. And I do agree - no way you can be 50!! You're amazing! I can't wait to see the end of May photos. No wonder your hubby can't keep his hands off. :p

Cindy

[Alba]

wow.

*speechless*

I think that you know what I'm going to say....


YOU LOOK AMAZING!!

Seriously - you look like a 25 year old!!


Love alba

[spicyfull]

Congratulations...............

[MorningRuby]

Wow, the difference is amazing! I can't wait until my first 30 days are done and I can show everyone something like that! I might post a before and then just wait and post the after later !

[Revvell]

Congratulations! What a transformation AND I LOVE the tats as well!

Revvell

[Veganforlife]

Congratulations! What a transformation AND I LOVE the tats as well!

Revvell

Funny! I was gonna say I love the tats as well, but my fingers sometimes hit the wrong keys and well, well all know how THAT could have turned out...YIKES!

[Damzlfly]

WOWIE girl! You look HOT!!! OMG the difference is amazing!!! You got the GLOW! :)

[145ish]

Absolutely positively amazing! What a transformation!! I've only been raw for 4 days. If I see 1/2 the results that you did I'll be punch drunk on happiness.

Those photos of you are great. Congratulations and I'm so happy that you finally found a way of life that you can not only live with but that makes you happy and beautiful too. Thanks for the photos and the inspiration!

p.s. I don't know where those photos where taken but it looks like gorgeous terrain.

[garden granny]

you look MARVELOUS !:D very beautiful.

[shine72]

Girl, you look AMAZING! Wooohoooo! You did it alright! Your man's gonna be beatin' 'em back now!:D

[misslinda]

Starfire, this is AMAZINGLY FABULOUS!

You don't even look like the same person!

You are beautiful and it's great to see you have a more [sensuality] about you in your poses!!!

[Conscious Midwife]

WoooooHoooooo!

Raw looks good on you;) :D

[hungrygirl]

Starfire: You're on fire!!! HOT!! Congratulations. Keep it up, girl!!

[jaurequi]

Hmmm, all I got was what looks like a homepage and a picture of plumeria (though, quite beautiful).

But, congratulations on your results, anyway :).


Best,

[Naiad]

:eek: Hot mama!!! :D

[StarFire]

p.s. I don't know where those photos where taken but it looks like gorgeous terrain.

that's my lanai (I guess you guyz call that a 'front porch'?) dh has a very green thumb and can grow anything! On a clear day - we have a lovely ocean view. Hawaii truly is a paradise!

Miss Linda - the poses ?? You crack me up - just my way of trying to look skinnier!! ;) ya know... turn the body slightly -- so you can't see how wiiide the hips really are?!! lol! but thank you anyway! :D

VeganforLife - you are too funny!

To those that commented on my tAts (heheee!! :D ) thank you - those are family tribal tats. The one on my arm is also my marriage band (dh has a matching one - but just 'beefier' more masculine),. The meaning of the design is female energy/ocean and male energy/mountain, surrounding creation, or creative energy, a single dot (hidden) symbolizes eternity. Translation - Eternal balance and creative energy constantly flowing. The tat on my right calf is not completed yet and will eventually go all the way up my leg to my hip. One day I will have to take a close up and post it. It also has a Mano (Shark) in the center (our family amakua.. um.. guardian), it is Kamahoali'i, The Volcano Goddess Pele's older brother. it is said He guided her canoe from Kahiki to Hawaii where she now lives!)

Again -- Thank you EVERYONE for all your wonderful and kind comments. I do feel like a different person. I'm so glad I saved all my 'cute clothes' that I loved years ago. I'm wearing things I haven't been able to wear in over 4 years! Sometimes - I stop and think - "geeze... :rolleyes: I'm 50 years old... I shouldn't be dressing like this anymore ... 50 year olds don't wear mini skirts... " But then I stop and think -- "So what - who cares! I'm losing weight - getting healthy - and I FEEL GOOD...!" I'm still a little self concious but when I see the smile on dh's face... I figure - if he's happy -- then It's all good !!

blessings for all your support Rawbies - I couldn't have done it without you!!

Best,

Oh, you have to sign up. Costs nothing, and then you can UN-sign up. So worth it. She and her 'tats' are one sizzling mama!

StarFire? You go girl and wear whatever it is you want. You've worked for it.
I'm 53, have my hair spiked and a nose ring. I'm also a "nana" (grandmom) to five kiddos and enjoy biking w/them and doing untraditional "stuff".

So you be you, because you are absolutely breathtaking, like the scenary.

[sweet pepper]

Starfire You look absolutely wonderful. You are an inspiration and hope for the rest of us. I'm gotta keep trying! Congratulations on your new lifestyle and you sound so upbeat and happy! Great!

[Mary]

StarFire...

You look just GORGEOUS, my dear friend! What an inspiration you are to me! :D I am so proud of your achievement! AWESOME!

Blessings,

[Pennypower]

Wow great job! You look awesome I'm so proud of you. It's amazing how raw can take so much off the backside so quickly. I am heavy on the bottom normally, but when I went raw it was the first thing to go THANK HEAVENS. But usually it's the last place I loose and I just can't get rid of that booty you know what I mean. Cellulite goes away too. Raw is the only way to get rid of cellulite, since it's caused by ANIMAL FAT. Anyway, keep it up your doing so great.;) ;) ;)

[Princess Elaine]

Absolutely beautiful pictures and I'm not surprised...your spirit shines through all your posts and you are definitely an inspiration ...

Elaine

[sherahtaylor]

Starfire, that is so inspiring! Can I ask what your raw food diet mostly consisted of in those 30 days?

[Hansa Iyasa]

Wow, StarFire,

You are a very beautiful woman, no matter how much you weigh! I recognize your soul at a deep level, i can't really explain. But you are special, i know this. Keep growing in your soul, for this is what is really shining through. Thanks for all your love and support to me in this journey i am on. I feel blessed and very thankful. By the way i have a lot of friends that used to live on the Big Island. They are some of the most unique and amazing people i know! There is something about Hawaii that is special, particularly Maui i have heard has a real beautiful feel to it. I am so glad we are friends now! I hope we can keep blogging one another. Blessings to you beautiful soul,
Hansa Iyasa

Hey I just went to this site and left you a message. You pics are so inspirational!! You raw hot mama you! And I also like the tats and nose ring!

[StarFire]

Starfire, that is so inspiring! Can I ask what your raw food diet mostly consisted of in those 30 days?

Wow... I was shocked this was back up... I thought it had faded into the mist! lol!! someone told me it was 're-circulating'!!

Once again -- thank you all for you really sweet and wonderful comments... http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/FireStar_830/blush-2.gif I am truly blessed to have found Alissa, her amazing staff, this RFT site and all you AMAZING RAWBIES!! All the information and support all of you have given me helped me to make the transition with a lot of laughter and joy. You guyz didn't even laugh at me ... (well - not to my face anyway!!) when I panicked over my soaked slimy flax seed and sent out an SOS!! I got answers right away and everyone was so kind!!

to answer your question (and sorry it took so long to answer ~ I just never realized this was being looked at any more!) um... anyways - I followed the 30 day plan laid out (RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROCERY LIST!!) in Alissa's book! It made my transition to raw so simple, easy and delicious!!


http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/FireStar_830/sun.gif BLESSINGS!! RAWK ON RAWBIES... I am now celebrating 103 days RAW!! and rawkin looving it!!
