    Default Hello and here I go...!

    Hello everyone :)

    I'm 35, from the UK, and my friend mentioned this site to me.

    I shall be starting my raw food journey tomorrow.

    Last year I went raw for approx 2 months with great results. But as I am an all or nothing gal, one slip and it's been a steady decline since then to the point where exercise has stopped (I used to run) and my diet consists mainly of junk food and I am now overweight by approx 20lbs

    SO! I have everything in place to begin my raw food journey. I am feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehension.

    I have been reading the forum and everybody is so encouraging, so that has encouraged me to join.

    Arty :)

    Hi lafsalot and starfire

    Thank you for the warm welcome :)

    My friend lent me Alissa's book and I thought it was great. One of the best books, if not the best, about raw life.

    I am going to order my copy this week.

    I will also start a blog and (eek!) take some photo's that will hopefully track my progress.

    Well done on your 4 months startfire!
