I started at 40% and worked my way to 90% raw over 7 months. It's not the recommended route but when I started this journey I knew nothing of "going raw." I only knew fruits and veggies had fewer calories and I desperately wanted to keep the weight I'd lost from Master Cleanse off.
7 months later, I've never felt better! I'm hoping to be at 99-100% by the end of the summer. I've been hovering around 85-90% raw for the last 3 weeks. The difference between 70% and 90% raw is amazing. I can't wait to see what 100% feels like.

So inspiring!
We all have our own paths to follow, and you are a stunning example of the wonders that RAW can achieve. Don't stress about going slow, you'll get there!!!! And you've already come so far.~I am only interested in results. If something works, then an explanation is really just an intellectual exercise. ~

Thanks everyone.
What can I say... raw foods rock! I've lost 40lbs, 7 inches from my waist, and I'm down 4 clothes sizes. The way I feel and think are the most dramatic. The weightloss seems like a nice side effect. Believe it or not feeling centered, balanced, and at peace trumps the weightloss.
tiny, they're different cameras. The old one's a 5MP (it died in March) and new one's 10.

You look so spunky and ALIVE now, and the weight loss is evident in your face, which is younger and leaner in the second pic!
I LOVE the dancing banana in your last post. Where'd you find that smiley???You are not responsible for others reactions to you or assumptions about you. You are only responsible for your response to others.

I couldn't agree more.
