Planning my first raw test- drive!

Hello all! I am going to be 45 in May and am in horrible shape and not the best health. A friend who is a raw vegan directed me to this site for tips and advice. I have decided to "test-drive" a mostly (60-80%) raw vegan diet starting in January, when I get paid next. I am excited (and a little bit nervous as I am great about starting something, but fizzle out five minutes before the miracle) to see where this "test-drive" works and where it takes me! I am looking forward to reading all that I can here.
