Hi everyone

I am 40 something and have high cholesterol and an underactive thyroid function. I take something for the thyroid everyday. I want to try to get my cholesterol down without medication. I am also about 10kg overweight...don't ask me what that is in pounds you yanks and pommies! I have started eating much more raw food the past 4 weeks, almost no dairy and meat. I have lost a mere 2 kg and sort of nothing this week. But I will keep trying and hope to find support and advice on this forum. Is there anyone else from the Central Coast, NSW out there????? :rolleyes:

Welcome! Hey 10 kg is about 20 lb - so it is an easy calculation. I grew up with metric but waiting for letting go 1 kg of fat was too long. On the dark side there are more to go, but the goal is the same - to see scale moving to the certain point and stay there.
Enjoy your stay here with us and keep RAW. It is the best way to go!

Hi Ozziegirl. There is more and more rawbies in Australia all the time. You are not alone in our big brown land! Ask around and you will find some. There are regular picnics, pot lucks and other events too!
