I signed up to this Forum months ago, but have only started my serious effort at becoming more healthy in the last few weeks.
I have stopped eating dairy and processed foods, to a large extent. I am eating about a 70% raw food diet, which consists mostly of veg, fruit, some nuts, sprouts, rice milk.(I am eating fish a couple of times a week too) (YOu would be surprised how many delicious dishes can be made with these ingredients) It may seem extreme but my binge eating of bread, cakes, biscuits, cheese, mayo and all those types of food was out of control and I was gaining weight at breakneck speed, I was 236lbs 16 days ago, at my heaviest.
in the initial stages of my lifestyle change, I have lost 10lbs. This is a lot of weight to lose and I certainly don't aim to lose weight at this rate. I think in the initial stages of weightloss though these things sometimes happen. I am really hoping I will manage to keep to this lifestyle, I am walking to work every morning too (3 miles) and I feel great. So thats all about me, I am 32, 5'7, female, currently weighing 226lbs, and aiming to get to 150lbs. At a rate of 2lbs a week this should hopefully be accomplished by the end of November 2011.
Look at that, I wrote an essay..lol. I wish you all well in your efforts to be healthier and happier and hope to get talking to some of you along the way...
