i started this account for both myself and my boyfriend alex, we are doing this month's raw food challenge very much together. We've been a couple for about a year now but have been friends for over six. Last year at this time alex was extremely sick from his horrible diet/caffeine addiction and weighed over 400 pounds! I remember trying to get him to do raw food right away but couldnt convince him of something so "extreme". For a couple months we ate nothing but my homemade sushi and green salads. Alex's skin cleared up and he lost about forty pounds, things were looking up! We ended up struggling a bit with our living/working situations, living in biloxi mississippi at the time, not a very awesome place. All the while I became obsessed with reading about nutrition and trying to find the perfect diet. Nothing clicked until we finally tried raw food last month. We went two weeks strictly raw and both of us couldnt believe the effects. Anyway, after living in new orleans for a while we are back in biloxi till the end of the year. Over the last year alex has lost 110 pounds through exercise and omitting sugar/flour. (!!) My weight has gone up and down and at this point i have at least 45 pounds to lose. Also, I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (frequent urination and painful bladder), hoping to fully resolve both issues over the next few months. Thanks so much to everyone who reads this, your support means a lot to us here in hillbilly town! ;):cool:
I'll post some pictures of us in the before/after section.
