Hello everyone :p

I am not really new here, but I've been too shy to say a lot :eek:. After some time now, I thought I would say hello to everyone finally :) and properly introduce myself.

My name is Mandie and I am a raw vegan. I live in the Netherlands but used to live in South Carolina. I have also been on a weight loss journey and have progressed quite far. I still have a little bit more to lose, but I know I will reach my goal very soon. If I'm not too scared, I might post some before and afters once I reach that goal :).

This is a very cool community and I hope to get a chance to know some people here :seeya:

<3
 
Well I'm very glad you decided to post :) And I always love to hear a good success story, gratz on the weight loss. So if you don't mind me asking what brought about the move from SC to the Netherlands? That's a huge move! What's it like there?
 
Thank you :)

And yes, it was a very huge move indeed! I ended up in the netherlands because my boyfriend is a dutchie and that big ocean that separated us was becoming annoying and a very expensive cost on traveling! We decided to take a chance and see how living together will be. Best move ever :blush5:

The Netherlands are wonderful. Very peaceful and cozy. Everything is smaller here, but in a good way. Smaller cars, smaller roads, smaller food portions (lol). The education level here still has me flabergasted. Most dutchies speak four language, three languages at the very least. They begin language training around age 8.

To be honest, I could write a book on the differences between the netherlands/europe and the U.S. :willy_nilly:
 
Wow sounds great, I'm really glad that worked out for you. I took a big move for the same reasons, but it was only across the country, not to another one. My hubby and I have been together for almost 7 years now and will be having or 2nd wedding anniversary here in Oct. Can't believe it goes by so fast. Anyway sounds like a great life there, smaller food portions must help alot.

Hey now that you've made your first post have you considered staring your own thread in the journal section? That way I could come pester you, lol

My ex boyfriend was from the Netherlands but sadly it didnt work out lol.
My mother is a raw vegan and loves it! I was thinking of trying it
 
Its a really awesome lifestyle, raw veganism! I fully support it and back anyone who wishes to try it.

Detox was the hardest part, but once that is all over with, everything becomes much more clearer. The next hardest part is explaining how life is after detox :p
