Just posted my friend's story as she transitioned from a 220 pound "junk food vegan" to a ~130 pound raw foodist! :) She's such an inspiration to me - not just from her healthy changes, but this girl is so full of life and love. Wish I could spend more time letting that rub off on me! *lol*

"this girl is so full of life and love." I had a friend like that. She passed way to early in this life. However, I try to step in her footsteps each day. She was just the kind of person who spread the love and happiness around, even if she was going through a not great time herself. Everyone loved Gail!

Those friends are rare indeed, and you are very fortunate to have her in your life, as I am sure she is fortunate to have you, too!

She said the weight loss was over about 1 year. It started off fast (as it usually does - a lot of water weight, etc) then slowed down to where she's at now.

pix & mighty

accomplishment! Your friend is a Loser Extraordinaire!

My favorite quote (& I admit I skimmed) "So I wanted to have enough respect for myself to introduce quality fuel into my body�s systems."

I see all the positive steps we take to improve our health as brave and glorious acts of self-love and nurturing.

Kudos to your friend, Kate

for sharing her inspiring story!

(I missed if you mentioned how long her transformation took. I personally think it's best to shed slowly--like I did my 65 # over ~20 months, as the gradual introduction of new lifestyle habits are more easily maintained life-long than any drastic measures.)

Blessed Be, Amanda

Wow, usually I see raw vegan testimonies of loosing 40 pounds and always wondered if there was someone like me looking to loose about a 100 lol and if they could stick with it. That is awesome! Thanks!
