Hi there!

[Marlene]

Hello all!

I've visited this website before and ordered Alyssa's book & DVD mid last year but never actually went raw.

I've made a decision to start today. I know I need to take this one minute at a time as I was nowhere being Vegan or raw in my diet.

My current weight is 292lbs.
Size 26-28 in clothes.

I really want to project what I am feeling, (confidence, gratefulness, a bit of self-acceptance) on the inside on the outside.

I hope you are all having a good day and best wishes to us ALL. ;) ;)

Sincerely,

Marlene

Hi, Marlene~
Welcome!
You're going to love it, & feel healthier by the day, even if you go through detox stuff, you'll still notice how much better you feel raw, I can almost guarantee it! (& if it takes a little while to kick in, just be patient, it will!)

I was a size 26-28 awhile back...then outgrew those clothes..I have a few size 5x shirts I can wear, but don't like things clingy, so prefer a 6x...but it's going down week by week...I've let go of 30 lbs+ sinse my highest weight with raw, one day at a time! (& not always consistantly, but at the pace that was right for me, & what I could handle... :rolleyes: )

..I love the way you worded your intro, & hope your bit of self-acceptance soon grows to complete & total rejoicing in who you're created to be! :D

Looking forward to getting to know you, & just jump in anywhere (& check out the older posts, lotsa good info there!)...& come join us on the obese raw foodist's post, if you're so inclined!

Yeah....you have both the book and DVD.....devour them, they'll help you take it day by day. Knowlege does wonders coupled with desire and you have both.

Hi Marlene!! Welcome to the group!! Please jump right in and start posting! This is such a supportive group of folks & super knowledgeable as well. I've lost a lot of weight while living this raw lifestyle & I've gotten so much healthier too! There are several testimonies from people who have regained their health and lost weight this way. I don't plan on ever returning to the life I had before raw!! I love your intro!! Best wishes!:D
