Thanks Allison! You may not know it, but you were my inspiration when I came to this board!:D

The transformations here are incredible. You've done so much work. Do you happen to have a better before pic of yourself though...it doesn't blow up so well and it is difficult to see you. Your after pic is fantastic! Congratulations.

Too funny! Hubby did a rear shot too, but I figured that might not be appropriate (nothing bad mind you). I told hubby that for the first time in a LONG time, I actually like myself in a pic. THAT feels good!

[shine72]

Thanks CaliRaw, I feel it too!:D

YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!!!!!

What a transformation! Alissa should take your story and pics on her next spot an a talk show. If that won't convince America we need to change our eating habits, nothing will!!




And yeah, I wanna know why cartoons are dancing better than me too!

[lodestar]

you look amazing! your dedication has brought great rewards. :)

[Veganforlife]

Sunshine! Something told me to pop on here and take a "look see" and WHOA! What a transformation! You go girl! You RAWK! What an inspiration you will be to a lot of folks! I'm so very proud of you! And your son's continuing improvement. That too is wonderful. Great article in the Purely Delicious magazine on autism and eating raw. Good job!
If anyone has any doubts as to the healing powers of raw - well doubt no more! Holy schmoly girlfriend!!!
I hope you reach a "ton" of folks with these photos and this will inspire those struggling with health and/or weight issues.
Raw IS healing in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing!!!

[Morn]

SHINE ON ...

[shine72]

Thanks everybody!:o :D

Lucy - So wicked cool to see you here!:D

Green Life - To answer your question. Yes, I eat nuts, and gourmet foods. Our very own Justine Smith can attest to that. I am also very fond of salads with a rainbow of ingredients and dressings, simple salads, choc. shakes, smoothies, both green and fruit, and CHOCOLATE!:D I eat whatever my body is telling me it wants. Sometimes I just eat what I want too. But, every BODY is different. I know, that's been said very frequently here, but it's because it's the truth. Have you been 100% the whole time? (I'm not being sarcastic, it's just I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own crazy life, let alone everyone else's.) Another thing, I've not stressed about what goes into my mouth since going raw. I think that has helped quite a bit too. HTH!

[rawnhealthy]

You look wonderful! Glowing skin et al...you really do Shine:)

[Green Life]

Hi shine. Thanks for your reply. :)

No, I haven't been 100 percent because I DO use hot tea and somettimes do bottled vegan salad dressings.Those dressings aren't very good, btw.

Well, you just look magnificent. Keep it up!

[swingbolder]

Wow! What a difference!

[luckitri]

Wow you just jumped in with both feet and gave it all you have and in less than a year you have transformed yourself, your family and getting a career change too! Very impressive!

[Aleesha Sattva]

you look beautiful in both pics!

did you add any exercise or just went 100% RAW?

[shine72]

Thanks again everyone!:o :D

Green Life - I HIGHLY suggest going 100% raw, full and total, and then see what kind of results you get. For a lot of people, it's that last little bit of cooked out of their diets that make the WORLD of difference. HTH!:D

recycling goddess - I wish I could say I've been exercising regularly. Truth be told, I've exercised maybe 15 times in the whole 9 months. I DO NOT recommend not exercising though. That is something I keep working on working into my crazy busy life. I'll get there, I will! But that is something I'm striving towards. HTH!

luckitri - Yep, that sums it up in a nutshell alright!:D

[Aleesha Sattva]

thanks shine!

[shine72]

bumping per request.:D

[RawMistress]

Awesome:) ;)

[eachpeachpearplum]

Damn girl! I must have missed this the first time around. Given' me the incentive to post mine:rolleyes: I think in light of the "bumping" we need some NEW pics, glamor girrrrl. . . pleeeeeeze!:eek:

[Aleesha Sattva]

i agree... we NEED pictures!!!
