Hello All,
I've been lurking on these boards since their beginning and now would like to join the September Challenge [late, I know!], so I decided to introduce myself finally! :)

I'm 42 yo and have eaten, and fed my family, a primarily healthy diet [with some real junk thrown in occasionally!] since about age 22. During the past three years though, the increased episodes of poor eating and the continued weight gain and health issues have really increased and are taking their toll.

I've been varying percentages of "high raw" since 2003, sometimes only 30%, sometimes 95%, only achieved 100% a few times for 2-3 weeks at a time.

I am finally ready to "take the plunge" and go for it!

These boards have been such a source of inspiration and education for years already, I am very excited to participate in the challenge and become a more active member!

peace & blessings,

Lisa

Zaphirah,

Unfortunately, Amherst is too far away for me! I'm all the way on the Southshore coast near the Cape.

I used to ocassionally make the trek up to Beverly when there was an ongoing pot luck there, but that was very far also...

Thanks for mentioning it though!

Hey lrpurro! I'm in Budapest at the moment but used to lead a Cape and Islands raw meetup group. A really lovely couple on Nantucket is leading it now. Let me know if you want more info. I know there is a meetup scheduled in a few weeks. :)

Lisa - welcome! You have certainly come to the best spot for learning. Do you have Alissa's book and DVDs? They are powerful tools for plodding along the raw path.
