[Amuzon1]

Congratulations! You look fabulous!

Can you share the recipe for the gingerbread men you have pictured on your blog?

[ShelShel]

Thank you for all the kind words! I was hoping to inspire or convince someone to try raw...or press on when things get tough...because it does work! If you are struggling like I was last week...just get back to it and pretty soon you will wonder how you ever got off track! ;)

I started in Feb 2006 and reached my current weight by Thanksgiving of that year. (I think somewhere I accidentally typed that I started in 2005...that's wrong. Sorry about that.:o ) I have been Very High if not 100% raw since.

Yes, in the Spring I exercised like crazy. (Walking several hours a day.) But upon reaching my current weight. No...the exercise is random. However...that is about to change. My goal weight has always been under 100 pounds and I'm not their yet. So...I thought, I'm ready. I'm going to kick things up..stick to the 100% raw and add some exercising! I'm hoping to report that I've crossed into the 90 pound range by the end of next February. ;)

Anyone else with inspiring before and afters they would like to share? I just love the transformation.
God Bless you all! Happy Holidays! Raw (((HUGS)))

[goodbeets]

Thank God in Heaven IS RIGHT!! You look fabulous!! Thanks for the great inspiration.

[islesgirl]

reading your blog and looking at your stunning before and after pics and drooling over your recipes. You sound like a very good person - a good Mum and someone who cares about what is important and now you are looking after yourself too. I copied down some info. from you and printed out some recipes too. Will talk to you again after the holidays to beg for a recipe of something you served your family. 'later then. All the best.:D

[rawgreenyogini]

Very beautiful!

Thanks for sharing!

[lavendarJ]

Keep RAWKIN' it ShelShel!

Oh honey, you don't EVEN look like the same girl! If I weren't raw already, you'd have ME convinced!:D Great going. You even LOOK like you feel great!

[Ms_Catherine]

WOW, thank you so much for posting your pics. If you were trying to inspire someone, it worked! I'm making my shopping list right now!

[ShelShel]

I'm so very glad to hear that! Yes, that was exactly what I was hoping to do! :p I figured if there was anyone out there who was on our forum...struggling with wondering if this really works. It does! It really does. But you have to be determined to let your body get used to it. To let it become a lifestyle change...it's not a diet...it's just the way I eat, for now and ALWAYS!

I don't just look different. I really am different. How I dress, how I feel about myself and others because of it. Freedom. I feel free! I wish that for everyone this holiday season.

(((HUGS)))

[Aasyah]

[Eva]

I just checked out the pics on your blog... and you really do look amazing!!! What a difference!!! :D

[GoingtoRAW]

Wow, you look like a totally different person - at least 15 years younger! Such an inspiration. :)

[ShelShel]

Thank you everyone. You are very kind.

My point in posting was hopefully to encourage you all.

I was overweight...my whole life...dieting...since 12 years old. Becoming Anorexic in college...nothing. I always gained everything back.

I became a coffee-aholic by 34 years old. Needing over 36 ounces a day just to stay awake.

My acne....worse than a 16 year olds in the middle of puberty. :(

I could have stayed where I was, but I found hope in raw foods and just gave it a try. Even a little...worked better than anything I had ever tried before. So, I kept adding more.

If you have physical problems, weight related...this is it. Try it! That's all I wanted to share. It has made such a change for me and I wanted to hopefully give those who felt the way I did hope. Raw Works! On many, many levels.

[simone_24]

[gettingskinny]

[Allie]

Awww i'm sorry i missed the link, could someone repost please! :)

[ShelShel]

I'm sorry you guys. I re-vamped my food blog for the beginning of the year and deleted that post all together. Sorry about that.

[Ruby]

ShelShel, is there any way you would consider reposting your pictures? There are so many of us here that would love to see them and did not have a chance to. I personally have been struggling with staying raw and could really use some inspiration. I hope you will put them up again!!!!

[ShelShel]

Ok, today I added back the pics to my personal blog. There is a link at the bottom of this post...the simple american kitchen. As you scroll down...you can see these pics on the right hand side of the blog and the very bottom has one pic too! I will try and keep these up on my blog somewhere at all times...sorry about that you guys!

I'm back at it...2 1/2 days 100% today...and boy what a difference that last 20% makes. If you have a desire to really feel great...push past that last few % and go all the way...it's soooooooooo worth it! God bless. Have a great Raw Day! (((HUGS))):D

[gettingskinny]

You look great mama! I love your blog! :)

[Allie]

Thanks for reposting the pictures shelshel, you look wonderful!

[Ruby]

ShelShel, thank you so much for reposting your pictures. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!!! You have inspired me to not give up. I have been struggling with raw for almost 3 years now. Again, with all my heart, I say thank you.

[ShelShel]

Thank you everyone. And Ruby, a special thanks...I'm so glad that it could inspire you to keep pressing on. Everyone can do this...daily...it just takes time to form raw habits. ;) Raw (((HUGS)))

[Nappilocs]

Wow, you look great! This is so inspiring!

[sugarsnap]

ShelShel....You don't know how much I appreciate you sharing your photo's and your raw journey. I keep going in and out. I do so well for months, then bam! Back to SAD. I know I feel much better raw but my brain is getting the better of me!
I wanted you to know I love the transformation and I love your blog. Thanks so much for giving me some inspiration to carry througout my day.

[carro163]

Wow, you look great! Are you 100% raw? Do you drink? I just started and I think Im about 95% right now. I am eating some sprouted grains and drinking about once a week. I have only been drinkin wine though. If you have any tips or info, I would love to hear.

[carro163]

How long have you been eating raw? Are you 100%
