Hi, new to the forum. I'm 31 years old and I have been morbidly obese for as long as I can remember. I'm going raw to lose weight and get healthy.

My weight peak was 530 lbs in 2007. I have lost 90+ lbs over the past year or so by eating more raw fruits and vegetables and going on regular juice and water fasts. My record for juice fasting is 11 days and water fasting is now 7 1/2 days.

I just broke a 7 1/2 day water-only fast today, and am now transitioning into a 100% raw food diet. I started my fast at 462.5 lbs and am currently 439 lbs (23.5 lbs lost in about a week). I haven't been in the 430s since I was a teenager, about 15 years or so.

Please see my post in the fasting forum about the best foods to eat after a water fast. Thanks! Glad to be here.
