hello all,

i have to tell you that this forum saved me from a bag of pretzels last night. or perhaps saved a bag of pretzels from me. :) i have been 100% raw for just about 10 weeks and although the first couple of weeks were a challange, it has been great since!! yesterday however, i had a BAD day. i went looking for support and here you are! thank you. i did not have the pretzels!

i started this journey as a last chance effort to stay off the steroids the docs wanted to put me on for chronic inflammitory disease. it worked!! i have been symptom free from almost day one. it is amazing, and i wish that i had started 3 years ago when the flare ups started! being healthy has been motivation enough, but the 30 pounds i have lost in just under 10 weeks is inspiring! so many of my friends and family are starting to talk about going raw because of the changes in me, but noone seems to be very serious! thank you alissa for connecting us to each other! i look forward to getting to know y'all!

Welcome. We are just as delighted to have you as you are us.

Hey Lyn! That is wonderful! YOU have the power to say yay or nay to what goes in, on, around, or near your body! Seriously. You're "getting it".

Way to go!

I too wished I had eaten this way, but you know? Our bodies are quickly forgiving. So it's not too late to heal. We (the raw food peeps) are living proof of that.

RAWk on!!!

It's always nice to hear about the success others are having with their health.....congrats. It's also nice that those around you are supportive, even if they don't join you but someday I bet you'll have them by your side. Everyone has to come to it in THEIR own time and when they are ready. Have you read Alissa's book or watched her DVD's.....I know you'd love them, personally I think they are the best. Welcome to the forum.

i have read her book and i'm going to my first food demo with an alissa trained coach early next month! very cool stuff.

Welcome Lyn. Having raw goodies around will help-either ones you make or pre-made.
