Wow! You look so healthy and vibrant now! And I can't wait to show my husband your pics :D. He weighs about the same as your before pic and his goal weight is what you are right now, what a coincidence :p He is slowly going more raw and adding more physical activity to his days. If you don't mind me asking, how raw were you and how did you overcome challenges?

wow! i was nervous posting this and was hoping for a positive response! thanks!
ok, back in Nov. i went on healthy choice meals 2 x's a day. did that for a short time. few weeks.
then i went vegetarian. spent some time on some Veg*n boards and went Vegan. that is when things really kicked in! was losing a lot of weight fast.
in march i started adding in more greens and started looking into raw.
started to add green smoothies, more salads etc. i could do raw days but would crater after a few days. so its been Hit an Miss for the past several months. im on a hardcore kick right now and trying to realy go for it 100%
as far as excersize, i dont allow myself to come home after work until i go to the gym and do cardio, weights, something. then i can come home! so im doing something 6-7 times a week.
ok, thats about it!

It sounds like you have transitioned nicely from your "before" diet to now. My husband has also been slowly eating less meat since we don't buy it when we go shopping anymore and just if we are visiting with family and they have some. The workout thing before going home is a good idea. I am happy that you posted your pics, they are very inspirational :)

OMG Matthew! :eek: You look absolutely fantastic! :D
Even your eyes look better and it's NOT the glasses! Although, they look great on you too. What a good job you have done transitioning and more power to you in your raw journey!

Matthew you look great! I can see you very clearly in the second picture. Your eyes are shining - my God! bright!

I'm curious, since you've had this amazing transformation in a relatively short period of time, what do people in your life say to you? Do you share your diet/lifestyle with them? I mean if I were your friend, I would have to say something!! Know what I mean? LOL! You inspire! Thank you so much for sharing.

It's not embarassing posting the "fat" photo - it's reality. Isn't it cool to see where you are now?
