Thought I'd go out on a limb and show my face (literally) to hopefully inspire others who find themselves wanting to improve their health and lose weight effortlessly.
You can read my story here: http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthrea...story-to-share.
The first two photos are from this last summer, before I went raw in August. I don't take a lot of photos but the 3rd photo was the first time I was really happy with what I saw, and then the last photo was taken yesterday.
I'm not finished losing weight but I'm definitely past the halfway mark.

The photo is tiny but all you have to do is click on it. ;)

That's so great. I've read about people who go raw and then meet old old friends who don't recognize them. I bet that might happen to you!
