Who's in?

Let's get to know each other a bit before the month starts on Sunday!!! :throwhearts:

[Moringa]

Count me in! I only knew about the challenge for part of April. But I'd love to see what another month of raw does for me.

My Excalibur will arrive on Tuesday, and there are so many recipes I look forward to trying.

Even my DH is thinking about eating more raw, and talking about eating less meat! That, ladies and gentelmen,would be a miracle of the first order. :excited:

[speltrong]

I'm in! I spent most of this month making all the different recipes I could find (and wow, was that fun), but I think next month I want to focus a little more on simplicity. Nice simple raw salads, handfuls of nuts, maybe some homemade crackers, etc. I've really been enjoying this board, and i'm so glad it's here. :-)

Moringa, congrats on your success with raw so far.. that's great news about your hubby being interested!

[Dougal]

My boyfriend and I are both starting! We are starting the challenge May 9th because we are using up all of our non-raw food currently and because I have a dance performance on May 7th and I am afraid of the detox symptoms effecting it.

I have PCOS and I am really hoping this cures my symptoms. I was raw for half a month before but this time I am really sticking with it... especially with the support of my boyfriend :heart:

By the way my name is Rachel.

[Eva]

Since my pregnancy cravings seem to be for ALL RAW FOOD (Whoot Whoot!) I might just hop in for this one!:heart

[MysticTree]

I am in with my 16 year old daughter. Consistency is an issue for me so hopefully this time around I can stick with something! I now how good I feel when I do raw, but it's all about being prepared with my food on hand. The longest I have made it was 3 weeks nd I lost 12 lbs and felt amazing. My food will get here on Tuesday, hopefully ordering the food will help me be more sucessful.

I'm a definite probably; maybe; I hope, lol. How's that for committment?? I'm in the process of moving back north for the summer so it may take more for me than I'm able at this moment. I really do need to do this again, though, so will keep ya posted.

[Aleesha Sattva]

wow... let's get this party started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReneeH]

Did someone say "PAR-TY!!!!!" :dance:

You *KNOW* I'm SOOOOOO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:

[Amba]

Hello, everyone!:throwhearts: I am in your party! :fruitline: I have read about raw food, and I have tried and lost about 20 pounds. But it is still about 100 pounds to go.:):dance:

[liveoakladylove]

I am joining for the may 30 day challenge! I've been going strong for seven days already, but challenging myself to go the entire month of may and hopefully beyond!

[monicadd]

I am new here, but my husband and I would like to give it a go. :)

i would love to start being a raw foodist but i don't have a lot of support around me. i am uni in bristol, england and friends with the unhealthiest people ever:sadtears:. if i can make it to a month on raw food, they might be tempted to join as well:eat:drool:

I'm in Bristol too. Good luck and positive vibes. At least the weather is reasonably warm and salads are easy to make and eat without people thinking you are weird.

[mariefanny]

oh thanks mystic. where do you do ur shoppping? so far i have been going to holland and Barretts but i seem to have spotted an organic shop around the eastville area. how long have you been a raw foodist? any tips?
:kisses:

[MysticTree]

finding truly raw food in shops is hard hard hard. I went into Wild Oats just off Whiteladies road and they didn't even get the concept of raw! that was about 5 years ago now so maybe they have caught up.

Very many things that you think are raw aren't ... even if they say raw on the packaging. It's very frustrating.

Foraging in Bristol is good though. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits. I also have a small veg plot.

The Organic Supermarket in St. Werburghs is worth a visit but they don't have a raw food section either.

I am not the best example of a raw foodist in the world ... I may not be the worst but I am pretty hopeless! I will say though that I always feel my most alive when I am eating raw so it ought to be a no-brainer really.

Anna Middleton is over in your direction ... look her up online.

Happy May Day!!

I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night.....yikes, but a green smoothie perked me up. I have a longs day ahead of me working!

My goals this month-

Keep mono eating lots of fruit. It is wonderfully easy and gives me great strength and energy.

To keep myself well stocked with my own salad dressing so I dont use bottled crap.

To try two recipes a week, that seems reasonable, doesn't it?

To make the effort to get filtered water.

To hang out here and bug you guys........

To get my greens in twice a day.

I'm off to a good start!!!

[Random]

I'm in! I've been raw-curious for ages...the fact that I've been registered on this board for years proves that. But I've never made it past a month. After a really, really tough year (which included a miscarriage and the loss of two very dear family members, my beautiful young cousin and her infant daughter), I'm ready for spring to renew the world AND my body.

[Bookish Lass]

I'm in. Hopefully I can make it this time.

[michigan]

Hi Im in Michigan and its my second day going raw. I would like to try thirty days also. Day 2 I can feel withdrawl symptoms but I do not know what they are from. My dietary habits before this was a train wreck....wish me the best

[Dagelinckx]

Hello All,

I will join this month challenge again I have been raw for 5 month now and see this challenge as a nice conversation and see what other people are eating during the day.

The past two month's I did not join the challenge because I have been busy with my mother in law that have been diagnosed with cancer, I will do my best to check the forum on a daily base again.

Take care,

Mark

[VeggieJesus]

I tried going all raw for awhile and really loved it but my Aunt and my Uncle who I was living with thought I was crazy and even tried to get me checked out by a doctor; Not the support I wanted. I am all in and ready to go all raw again. I have been a Vegetarian for over two years now and on and off vegan. My goal is to clear up my skin and just be as healthy as possible. I Know I can do this with support from others who will go through the same things. :hug

[MysticTree]

feeling slightly odd this morning. I think I ate too much cabbage yesterday ... maybe! Today I feel like I just want fruit.

Strawberries are good. I have almost finished the first punnet.

[MysticTree]

the above is in the wrong thread ...

[Dagelinckx]

I'm still in and feel good as normal the raw food makes my body better I can see it on my skin feet and of course the energy you get from it

Lets all continue this month challange and hope everybody can make it, all take care and enjoy some nice food the coming day's
