I made it to my goal weight to be under 130lbs, I have now been at 129 for 3 weeks and doing well maintaining. Looking back at photos really helps me see how far I have come! I can FINALLY say I am happy with my body and the work it continues to impress me with, 21 pounds down! I don't think losing more will be part of my…

Very inspiring, your story is awesome and I enjoyed reading it, you have the right attitude! Good for you!

There is a restaurant somewhere that adds all kinds of combos to their sandwiches...and they are all called grilled cheese and there are many more strange combos than adding tomato. I've never done that, but I think I might! Sounds pretty good!

Congrats everyone! I've lost an automobile tire in weight! Seeing it like that is rather impressive haha

Thanks everyone! We are all, always a "work in progress!" I appreciate all the positive feedback!

Is it just me....or does she look a lot older than 33? I know 60 year olds who look better...including my Mom!

That's so awesome. Good for you! That must have been a difficult time and it probably never stops being difficult but look at you! You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

That sounds so good! Thank you!

Good plan! I need to set a date for my start. I am thinking next Sunday. thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for the advice! I do not plan on eating any raw meat, perhaps using raw eggs as a thickener in my smoothies but other than that it will be only non-animal products. I don't think I could eat raw meat....although Sushi sounds amazing!

' THANK YOU! With a 35% raw diet, did you experience any rapid weight gain going back to some of your regular foods?

Yeah I know that! This is a plan (for me anyway) that will get me used to eating those foods so that I can incorporate them into my eating habits for the rest of my life. I don't diet I plan a lifestyle change. If I do this, I will be less inclined to revert back to the old ways because for one thing it will probably not…

That's what my friend said, the first 4-5 days she went through a slump with caffeine withdrawals but after she made it to day 6 she was full of energy and feeling fantastic. I think she lost so much weight doing it because she put in intense workouts because of her energy level. She started at my weight of 138 and is now…

I thought that would happen to her because she didn't go into it gradually, just started one day and she never had any adverse side effects. But something to keep in mind! Thanks for your input!

I am worried about the time consumption of this diet myself, with a 1.5 year old, house for sale and a new house to work on I am afraid I will get lazy and go back to my old ways. Ugh. Its a tough decision and thanks for the tip on the raw food groups!

That's my plan! I want to start this to know what I like that is raw and the different things I can have that are packed with protein and good for you nutrients. I want to re-learn what my favorite foods are and replace pizza with fresh avocado salad, etc. I think if I were to eat "clean" for X number of days and see those…

Also, if I were to do this and get to my goal weight, would it be easier to maintain? I seem to be stuck at a plateau now and it's frustrating to me. I thought if I got there with this diet then I could work from their to maintain my goal weight....

She's always been active and exercised regularly before she started this diet. She considers it more of a lifestyle change as she will incorporate a lot of what she has learned about her body into her future meals and lifestyle. If I do this, it would be the same for me, as I fear I would pack back on the pounds if I…

I swear my husband can lose weight just by thinking about it. It is frustrating!!!!

This was the most entertaining post I've seen in a long time! haha
