raw 6 months, but eating much more healthy for a year- a yr ago was when I changed my life , and the baseline it seems is this photo taken of me at a fundraiser for a local cat shelter last year- here we are a year later, and my daughter took a picture of me again at the same fundraiser=)
sadly my face is making very slow progress- but between the 2 sets of pics I lost 60 pounds and I cured some issues!

Actually I do see delicate subtle changes. Your face and neck does seem more sculpted--naturally. Had you gone to a doctor to have it done surgically, s/he wouldn't have done a better job to make the small changes all in the right places.
Wishing you vibrant health

I am sorry I was not more specific- I meant I am not having luck with my redness/rosacia issues. I definatly can see my face is thinner and not all bloated- I love that=)
Thanks you guys!myspace.com/lanarylie

You look fantastic and so healthy!! You knocked at least 10 years off and look so perky and happy. I too have skin problems but with raw I noticed that the problems has lessened and my regular old skin looks fantastic. I think it is all a process of undoing and you are undoing fantastic!!!
Keep it up!! Such inspiration!!

Congratulations! You look wonderful! 60 pounds is a lot of weight! I just hit 40 and I can't wait to lose 60! What other changes have happened for you?

well, since going mostly raw my serious pms/period issues have mostly gone away, i have tons more energy, I do not get sick all the time, and my mental health is better by far=)
I have about 40-50 more pounds to go, and I have been in limbo for a few months- but its going to go, sooner or later- not rushing the process!

debilana: I read that applying coconut oil to your skin will clear up rosacea (extra virgin, unrefined coconut oil is the best).
You look great, by the way!! Congratulations!!!!

oh my goodness.... truly -- you look fabulous.... there is sooo much difference in the before and after photos.... You have a very beautiful face my dear debilana.... and you have a lovely glow about you!
the rosecea as you mentioned.... although - you see it.... and it seems so evident.... it is better.... (have you tried using the coconut oil to wash your face with?) I don't know if that would help - but it certainly wouldn't hurt - and it might be a good experiment!
I showed your pics to my husband... He looked and he looked again... and he said..."Wow! She looks so young in the skinny picture!" I thought that was cute... he called it the 'skinny picture'!!
congratulations for a job well done... You have obviously worked very hard at regaining your health... it shows in your glow...
and smile girl... because you truly ARE beautiful!!! (and ps ... I looove kitties.... I think the work you are doing is really great....) ;)
... Congratulations beautiful!!! YOU RAWk!!
