Hello all...great site...just found you guys and happy I did. Pretty obvious I am from WV...lol...been doing LOTS of reading and watching TONS of youtube trying to figure out this raw way of life and so far everything I see I like the looks of it. So I am planning to take small steps...I have started adding green juice to my daily diet and LOVE them. I want to try to go vegetarian soon and then make the move to vegan ultimately going high percentage raw. I can see this transformation taking maybe a year but if things go smoothly perhaps sooner. I just want to give myself time to make new habits and break old ones. I am pretty sure that if I go cold veggie I won't do so well. Anyways...again...so happy to find this place and look forward to spending time here.

Welcome!

I like your attitude, take it easy and make it fun rather than going cold and 'failing' you'll be find with positive thinking like that!

Hope you keep enjoying the journey! :D

I suggest that you sit down and write 12 letters to yourself, one to be opened on the last day of each month.
Set out your target for the end of that month.
Do not forget to include your exercise target and other lifestyle changes that you may plan to make.
If you have targets and this monthly goal you are accountable to yourself and self motivating.
Good Luck.
