    My skin was horrid before I became raw. Within a very very short time it was gorgeous. Weeks or perhaps a month or two max? I can't remember... it's been so long now.

    I've been doing research & struggling w/the idea of attempting the raw diet & your before & after pics have definitely helped me. I have food issues & am in therapy for it. One of my biggest weight loss fears is the saggy skin. There also aren't any farmer's markets near me & fruits & veggies are incredibly expensive. I'm trying to overcome my fears & obstacles to just go ahead & do it. Thank you for posting your pics.

    What a remarkable change RAW food gave you. You look amazing! It's great inspiration. I'm on day 3 of RAW Food and seeing this helps me know I'm on the right path! Thank you for sharing!

    When starting out did you do mostly smoothies?

    I didn't discover green smoothies for a few months. I ate raw food and dis short fasts. It totally worked, and still works for me!

    I am 57 years old and am at least 300 lbs. My scale wont read higher than that so I do not really know. I started raw the 13th of july 2011 so this is my 10th day. All in all after just this short time I see a diffrence in alot of things. I have read that eating coked foods causes my body to react as though it has been poisoned. These pics allow me to see what is in store for me.

    Bumping... Everyone MUST see this again! Aleesha's transformation is AMAZING and INSPIRING!!!!! If you can, go back to page one and look at the photos! For any who are struggling to stay raw, you CAN do it!!!! For those who are considering doing the 111 day juice feasting with us, please look at what it did for Aleesha. AND, she's HERE to encourage all of us!!!! We are very fortunate to have her here!!!!!!

    I hope this didn't embarrass you Aleesha, but your example is so outstanding and I'm SO glad you'll be doing the fast with me! You're the best!!!!!!

    ah thanks Nee. *blush*

    My transformation was very amazing for me. Unfortunately since my hysterectomy last year my body has chosen to go up in size but it's time to clean up my body and get it working properly again. I know of no better way (for myself) than to hit the reset button using a nice extended fast! So... that's what we'll be doing.

    And really the cool part is... we do it together. There's just so much benefit when we fast as a group instead of individually as often we can feel alone in our struggles and triumphs. So come on everyone... let's do this!!!
