Hi, I'm new. I've been lurking for about a month and a half and finally was able to splurge and buy Alissa's book (sigh, poor college student!). I am waiting eagerly for its arrival!!
I'm so excited to begin and I was actually able to convince my fiance to join me on this raw food journey! He needs the detox much more than me (I've been strict vegan for over a year), but I am glad we are doing it together! We are actually going to transition semi-slowly over the summer and do the full 100% 30 Day Challenge for the month of September. I even got him to promise to think about maintaining these eating habits past September!
I think the reason why he was able to be convinced is because we are both fed up with medical problems, colds, being overweight, and regular "count those calories!" diet plans. We want something where we can ENJOY eating still!
So anyways, long intro, huh? I will post pictures and start journaling on our start date---July 1st!

P.S. I am almost 20 (birthday's in August), go to SBU on Long Island, and have currently been with my fiance for almost 3 years. I love making new friends as well and everyone is so friendly on these boards, I am excited about beginning here!
