This is me at Christmas 2006. I gained a little more weight before the next picture (according to my friends who love me and were honest with me after I started releasing weight.)
This is at me at my heaviest weight in 2007. I'm not really sure how much I weighted but I'm guessing I was pushing the 300 mark.
Now... today after 18 months of raw live foods. Not restricting my foods at all except when I'm fasting of course. Right now I'm almost 4 weeks into a fast which is mostly water and a little juices. Lots of supplements (chlorella, wheatgrass and spirulina). I've also taken MSM on and off this year. As you can see, I have no "ugly skin" - no saggy nothing. Hence why the first two shots are of me in a sports bra... so you can see that my skin looks normal.
All my acne has cleared up and is a thing of the past. I no longer break out at all which is amazing since I always had acne before raw.
I am hoping to release another 25 pounds.
So... if you are pushing the 300 pound mark... take a look at these pictures and KNOW in your heart that this can be YOU!!!

You rock!
These pictures give me hope! They are truly inspirational. During your raw journey, were you always 100% raw or were you more like 75% or so?
Once again, your pictures are remarkable. Congratulations on your success! I can only hope to be revealing my before and after pictures someday.

Nat, I was 100% raw 99% of the time. ;) Did I eat cooked here and there - yup, sometimes - but my focus was 100% raw.
Thank you everyone... I'm pretty happy with how my body is shaping up! The only 'working out' I do is: rebounding and yoga.Timeless Spirit Magazine
