Thank you so much for the compliments. I so much appreciate it. Today is the first day I'd even consider taking a photo to put on here. And I hope this I will soon be my "fat" photo to look back on because I've seriously been too embarrassed to even be in photos unless someone took one without me knowing. Regarding the scales.....I'm now officially avoiding them and just trying on my old clothes. I was a happy size when they fit and I held onto them. When they fit again, I'll know that I'm the size I was then regardless of what the scales say.
Best of luck on your weight loss journey. By the way, I'm Lana and i'm doing approximately 90% raw vegan diet with some cooked stuff here and there. Also I started exercising minimum of an hour and half daily, combining walking, cardio and toning exercises. Thank you again and good luck to you too.
