I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!
I've never tried to post pictures before, I hope this works. The first two pictures were taken in December of 2008, and I started eating nearly all raw on 1-6-09. The third picture was taken a couple of days ago. I am now almost 6 weeks pregnant, and am really hoping to continue with my raw pregnancy throughout. So far - no morning sickness! :) Maybe I'll get to post a pregnant picture in a few months.
OH MY.........That's RAWmarkable. MY Best to you and Thanks for Sharing.

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. It was pretty amazing to me when I put the pictures side by side the other night for the first time, and my husband was very impressed too. I can't wait to see what I'll look like in 48 more pounds at my goal weight!
You look incredible! What an inspiration. Thank you so much for posting the pics. I love reading about the numbers in terms of weight loss, but they don't do justice to the changes in people's faces and bodies from eating this way!
Congratulations!!
total lost: 5 #s
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free!
Released 145 lbs in the first year (2007) eating RAW Live Food and Fasting ~ Fasted 262 days during the next year and now I coach others! ~ Longest juice fast to date: 209 days ~ The Lady Awen (Elf sister to Aredhel) is usually fasting with the Fellowship of the Fasters!
Is your goal to continue to release weight while pregnant or to just see where RAW takes you?
What # pregnancy/ baby is this for you?
Am I right in assuming QF is for quiver full... if so awesome
It is, therefore, evident that it is possible to cure by foods, aliments and fruits; but as today the science of medicine is imperfect, this fact is not yet fully grasped. When the science of medicine reaches perfection, treatment will be given by foods, aliments, fragrant fruits and vegetables, and by various waters, hot and cold in temperature.

I'd love to lose some more weight while pregnant, I've been inspired by a couple of stories of that happening on this forum... my midwife (and good friend) is extremely supportive of a raw pregnancy and is trying to eat raw for weight loss herself, so I'm looking forward to having her support. I don't really have a goal (I'm kind of afraid to set one), but I think it would be neat if I could lose at least 10 more pounds while pregnant, and then 10-15 more pounds would be lost when the baby is born. We'll see how it goes.
This is pregnancy #9 for me, and will be baby #7 Lord willing. Yes, QF stands for quiver full, and we are so excited about God blessing us again!
I will be 37 years old in about 10 days by the way.
