| 102 pounds! I almost flipped when it hit me the other day!!!! I am down 102 pounds! I am now 165 pounds! I was 267! Thats 102 pounds! I just can't stop saying it!!!! I've lost way more than my 6th grader weighs! lol I've lost a small person! How crazy is that! If I get my butt up and exercise I'd be way thinner by now... but whatever... I'm getting there... I'm just amazed to have gotten this far! So... I think for 2007, I will get rid of the last bit... my goal is..... hmmmm what is my goal??? I'm 5 ft 7... turns out I'm a med build.. Not big boned like I kept telling myself! lol and... I think I'd like to be... OH! 143!!!! Thats what my drivers license always said! lol I got pulled over once when I was heavier and the cop looked at my license and then at me and his face said "yeah right honey... keep dreaming!" lol So 143 it is!!! that means... I need to lose another... OMGosh! only 22lbs! I can soooo do that!!!! Do ya all think 143 is a good weight for a 5 ft 7 in tall person?? Most of my weight is in my boobs! Can't lose that! I wish! They're heck on the shoulders and back! lol

| Congratulations, Kathryn! That is amazing. How are you doing it? Is there a particular diet or just less and smarter? My New Year's resolution is to lose weight. Here it is New Year's day and there is still candy, cookies, and egg nog left in the house! I decided to start in earnest after my son goes back to school and the routine returns to normal. If I have to toss the chocolate, so be it.

| Congratulations! I'm sure you can lose the last 22lbs! Can I ask how you lost the weight and how long it took you to lose it?

| Congrats! You can lose the last 22 lbs. in no time. I wish I could lose about 30lbs. Unfortuantly nothing seems to work for me. Keep up the good work!

| Well... it took about.... I guess its been about 10 months now... about??? but I quit losing 3 months ago... I'm still taking it off painfully slow now, but before It was flying off! The difference.. I was raw... but a few months ago I came home from the hosp. and after not having access to raw food was eating the SAD (Standard American Diet) I still do Zero Dairy and no red meats, no breads, pasta potatoes... mainly chicken sushi and fruits and veggies, lots of veggies! I do eat out and do crappy foods more often than I'd like to admit... before that was totally not an option!!!! I plan on cutting out 99% of the cooked foods and going back to my raw ways. I felt so much better!!! Now I have upset stomach and bloating, I get cramps have issues with certian foods... we all have certian foods that just don't "agree" with us... Well on a raw diet... Nothing affected me like that... I could eat and never worry about how something was going to sit! it was awesome! And the weight just flew! Hubby lost 20 pounds just eating raw for two meals a day the first two months. he was floored! its a great lifestyle if you really enjoy food... If you just inhale your food and move on... you could be eating carpet fibers like Chynna and be happy! lol Raw food is an art really... Its easy to get hooked! One of my favorites is making Nut Milks! I wish I could send you all a glass of Chocolate milk! I make the best Chocolate milk!!! RAW! From fresh ground Cacao nibs (thats Chocolate in its raw form) and fresh made almond milk and agave nectar. It tastes better than Hershy's! It takes me about 30 minutes to make a gallon of it... but my family LOVES IT! its the best treat and they know the love that goes into it... so its a treat that they truly cherish! There is so much to raw... Its not just carrot sticks!

| I wish I could find more on the raw diet. It sounds so great! Maybe that would help me lose this extra 30lbs. I just don't have a clue where to start.

I wish so much that I can try the raw diet........I checked out the rawvolution book (I think that was the name) and it seemed interesting. Plus, you are living proof! BUUUUUUUUUT!!! It would be hard for me for several reasons 1.) have to cook another meal for my DH and daughter - he is STRICTLY meat and potatoes - no budging him! 2.) not much selection of good raw foods around here - the health food stores does have a good variety of things, but boy, they are proud of some of it aren't they? 3.) regarding #1 - TIME! Who has the time to cook for one and then turn around and have to make my own, then clean up from both of them! Whoa! The "nut shake" sounds interesting! But yummmy!!!! I am almost to the point where I might just call my doctor and get that Merida prescription!!!! I know that over the summer, when I was really hard at my weight loss, I would get sick at my stomach if I ate something that I knew wasn't good for me. I don't know if it was all in my head or if my body was just letting me know that that food wasn't good for me. I wish I would get that back! Boy, I need that again!

| I had a super hard time too... there is not alot out there.... I started out with a book called Rawvolution by matt amsden. then I just started scouring the internet and found a couple of small web boards like this... and went blindly into it! I caught ALOT of flack from nay sayers who said it was unhealthy and that I would never get enough protein blablabla.... Well take a look at gorillas. They are doing just fine on their raw diet and I don't see them dropping dead from protein deficiencies.... do you?? in fact... have you ever known any one who has died from a lack of protein??? hmmm... I will say that my weakness is sushi.... so I'm 95% raw... I do go for sushi and there is cooked rice and the eel is cooked and the edemame is steamed... so when I go for sushi I eat some cooked foods.... I don't believe in 100% deprivation!!! If you try to go "all in" you'll fail! I say just do as much as you can... some change is better than none! Thats what I did, and eventually it just took over! lol
