I've been spooking around the forum for a few months and have a couple of blog entries, but this is my first post. I have been 100% raw for a little over five months and have totally renewed my health and vitality and lost 36 pounds to boot. Here are my before and after pictures.
I am feeling fantastic and have found a way of eating for life. I'm glad to be here on the forum and finally joining in.

You look great! It is nice to see you wearing light colors. Why do we think black makes us look slimmer anyway? White is light! Shine on!

Now I Have to do it
You look wonderful \o/. Now I have to do this
- I asked for confirmation to ensure that I was hearing the right words and sure enough I ended up here and saw you and know I know.
Congrats on your accomplishment.

Thank You and Keep On Rawkin'!
Thank you, everyone, for all the kind, positive responses!
I am filled with joy that I can present my experience as an inspiration for others that are starting out on this enchanting path. Being raw seems daunting at times, especially in the early stages. Once one finds the foods and recipes (and even fasts) that delight and soothe the body, psyche, and soul, it becomes much easier and the commitment much stronger.
It's like climbing up on a wave and riding at the peak. It is somewhat precarious and takes a great deal of focus. But oh, the ride is glorious!
This way of thriving is so doable! Just rawk on and don't look back.
Best wishes to all!Jennifer

Chiming in - you look absolutely lovely and so relaxed in that second photo. Congratulations!
Also, I love the Southwestern colors in your photos (especially the chair in the first one.)
