Hello, everyone--

I am an almost 60-year-old educator who has been mostly raw for over 6 months. I ran into someone who told me about Alissa's book, I read it, thought for a while, and started in. I like the potential simplicity of it--no dehydrator for me! Over the course of this year I have lost about 45 lbs and weigh what I was aiming for. Now the hard part is staying here.... I love the way I feel eating (mostly) raw and am thinking about whether I want to try for 100%. I look forward to reading other postings, especially the over-50s group.

Fyi: I love to dance (yay disco), love animals, especially terriers, and enjoy books, books, books, good music and movies, etc.

Thanks for the messages so far; it is totally fun to read them. Lori Ann, I live near Toledo. Do you know other raw folks in the area? I know there is at least one person in Findlay. I have not met her in person, but she has been very kind and helpful by e-mail.
