Greetings to All!
I am yet another recent convert to this way of life after MUCH research and at least one previous (and failed) attempt back in April. I was doing very well for about 3 weeks, and then a trip to Vegas with all of the ultra-tempting buffets conquered me. After having just finished Alissa's awesome book and DVDs, I am ready to plunge ahead again, THIS time, successfully. Briefly, I am a middle ag-er who is very tired of FEELING midde ag-ed, and am looking forward to reading postings from fellow "experienced" folks. I live in Nashville, Tennessee which is hardly a hotbed for this type of lifestyle (very much a meat and potatoes locale, with emphasis on the meat), so it will be most encouraging to hear what other seekers are going thru. My interests include yoga, long rustic hikes and reading.
Take care and blessings to all!

Greendave - welcome back again to RFT! If at first you don't succeed try try again! Glad you are back! It has been 9 1/2 months for me and I am down 78 pounds. I have a ton of energy and have restored my health. You can too if you want it bad enough! Best wishes to you as you reembark on your raw journey!

Hi Rawxanne!
Thanks very much for taking the time to send an encouraging word re- my recent post. I am on my 3rd day of this, the 2nd trip, and so far haven't fallen off the pathway. Finally purchased a food processor just this morning to expand my menu options. Again, appreciate hearing from you, and LOVED your very creative photo!

Hi Nicole!
Oh yes.....the Vegas strip buffets, they are amazing! I will be returning to those dangerous places in October ( to be married!) and by then will hopefully be so entrenched in the raw food lifestyle that only the salad and fruit bars will be visited my me. Thanks for your input!
