Greetings, from Tucson!
I'm very excited about finally taking advantage of the motivation and friendship this forum and it's members so graciously offer (I've already been utilizing the wealth of info as a nameless guest for a bit now :P).
Quick bio: I have fluctuated between vegetarian, vegan, and raw lifestyles for about five years now. For the past year, my diet has averaged at about 75-80% raw, but I'm ready and feel the need to return to 100%....now! Heh. I will also be undertaking a variety of cleanses in the coming month, beginning with a colon cleanse. I feel this will give me an optimal platform from which to begin my completely-raw journey towards my healthiest self.
My inspiration for making this decision is that I recall feeling and looking my best during the period when I first discovered and experimented with a raw food lifestyle. There are several physical issues that I hope...no, intend to alleviate or eliminate, namely migraines, acne, and about 10 lbs of fat (my current goal weight is 135 lbs).
Thank you for all of the great info and inspiring stories I have found here thus far, and thanks in advance for those I'll find in the future!
