    Default One Year Raw Anniversary

    May 2008 - 211lbs May 2009 - 178lbs

    I'm still seeking a healthy weight, but living on live foods has meant so much more than just weight loss. I LOVE being RAW!

    Walking the Path of Radiant Health and Vibrant Energy. :p
    I may Slip, Trip, Stumple or Fall, Leaves of despair may even cover the path but, as I get up, brush myself off, remain still, & wait for God's Love to reveal the path

    Thank you all very much!!!

    I wish I had a picture at my starting weight of 223lbs. The difference in appearance would be even more dramatic. The picture at 211lbs was taken after about 2 weeks raw.

    Total weight loss so far after one year on a 100% raw diet 45 lbs. If I didn't make so many raw treats or did a little exercise I might have lost even more.

    I have experienced so many other benefits, too. My life has changed dramatically, and still is. All for the better. :)

    Not sure why you can't see them... I brought the images over from my Photobucket account.

    Here they are again posted directly from my computer.
