Hi everyone... PrincessRaw here and lovely to meet you all :)

Me?

I'm 43 and a bit overweight and very tired of it!!! I'm actually 252.8lbs, so no before shots until after I'm done :p

I started the raw journey 4 days ago and have lost almost a pound every day. This I like, just have to keep doing it and not let my mind try and sabotage the weight loss (like it always does when I see a huge loss on the scales).

My family (hubby, girl-6, boy-4) are yet to really jump on the same wagon but little by little I'm slowly weaning them over. It's tough with their strong mindsets but I'm determined to keep at them (in a nice way of course)

I made chocolate mousse yesterday and my hubby has been eating it with ice-cream and strawberry topping - calling it black forest ice-cream. Today he finished off the chocolate mousse and I told him he'd been eating avocado. He was surprised because he dislikes avocado!!! hehehe 1 for me. Now just have to find a yummy raw ice-cream and strawberry topping to make and he'll be in heaven without realising it :p

I've seen some of the befores and afters and I'm really amazed at the transformations in everyone. Truly inspirational, and exactly what I need to see to keep me on the raw path.

Welcome PrincessRaw! I always think that's the best way. Have them taste the food and tell them what it is afterwards. ;) This way they don't form an opinion beforehand.

Welcome PrincessRaw!

I have a SAD (Standard American Diet) hubby also - and I have NEVER told him about the avocado in my chocolate desserts :p

Congratulations on your commitment - we are here to support you!

Thanks so much revdrcyn, support sounds great as I do need it sometimes. I can't keep making the chocolate pudding everynight, I think it's still too high in fats (or is that a good thing?) Sadly the kiddywinks won't eat the pudding. Miss 6 has tried it and screwed her face up, she does eat apples everyday, and occassionally will munch on carrot but Master 4 is flat out "no" to the pudding as it's too dark :confused: - says it's not the right color as the weight watchers brand :rolleyes:
