Long story short: 2 years and 4 months ago, August 2003 I weighed 355lbs. I was able to loose it all ( 190lbs), due to a great friend of mine, :D . In the first 3 months through his program,( no drugs or surgery), I lost 100lbs. By November 2004 I reached 165lbs . From November 2004 to April 2005 I maintained that weight. From April to August I went up to 180 range. This is where I've been, except for a two week stretch where I went raw. In that 2 week period I lost 7lbs, which was sweet! :)
For the past 3 to 4 months I've been researching vegetarian/ vegan and just this last month raw lifestlyes.
I am working on getting my kitchen set up and trying to find places and groups in my area that are RAW, or where I can order raw foods and kitchen aid stuff. And also trying to get all organic items is a challenge. In America bad food is abundant and it's cheap - where as good food is not cheap, but it is so much better for you. In my state it's winter time with snow. My garden this year was a flop. Plus I didn't know anything about being organic gardening till after the fact.
Two bonuses are That: there is a health food store in my area, and that I stumbled upon this website. :)
I've been surfing the different raw topics learning a lot of useful information. Which is why I tried the 2 week test on RAW.. I'll have to admit it was tough when at the family christmas get togather's I droped back to eating the bad stuff.
No worries, I'm not beating myself up. I'm still trying to figure out my path to the raw lifestlye. I look forward to learning from many of you who are sucessful in the raw lifestlye :).
