    Default More Pix

    Here are some more.
    One in pink bathing suit is right after my first 30 day raw challenge, got a lot of people to try raw after I posted that on facebook.
    Black dress one is same time, after 30 days.
    and the one in black and white is very recent, end of April, but I am wearing cover up, because the place I was living is very polluted and my skin reacts to that.

    Wow you look wonderful! You should be so proud of yourself. Did you lose all your weight eating a raw food diet?

    Default to Morn

    I wasnt even raw all the time, on average I would say 70%. Yeah, all that weight just from eating raw, this is what I keep telling people and to some it doesnt sink in until they see the fat pictures
    You lost a ton of weight yourself, Morn, good job!

    Your pictures are very beautiful. If you dont mind me asking.... How much did you weigh before starting raw? and you weight now? I ask because it looks like you did not have much to loose. You look very healthy

    I weighed 160 lbs at 5'4", and you're right Morn, I wasn't "fat", I was chunky, BUT I was only 18 years old and kept gaining... if I didnt find out about raw the problem would have snowballed and I dont even want to imagine what would have happened to me in college.

    right now I hover just above 120 lbs... so i've gone down quite a bit through college - which is a huge accomplishment I think, comparing to some of my friends' experiences...

    Aj - You look amazing!
    I am 18, have been raw for about 6 months, and am going to college in the fall. I would love to know your strategies for staying raw in college!
