Hello from NH!

Hi everyone. I just joined this site today, and I am already in love. :) Quick background: I am 34- I was a SAD eater all my life until a couple of months ago. I became vegan after reading “Skinny Bitch” and “Eat to Live” by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. I was never a big fan of meat anyway, so the only problem I’ve had with being vegan is not having dairy. I discovered the raw lifestyle a few weeks ago, and it was love at first sight – this is the only “diet” that has really made SENSE.

Anyway, I have at least 100 lbs to lose, which is my biggest motivation to be raw. But I am starting to realize that not only do I want to lose weight, I truly want to be healthy. What a concept. :)

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! :) Kendra

    kendra. you are in a good place. Lots of support here. I am originally from Mass. and we vacationed at Lake Winnepasakee (?sp) every year i was a kid. Many ski trips to Loon and many hiking trips throughout the White mountains. Miss the seasons here in Ga. now. Welcome.

    Hey Kendra! I’m down here in Mass. not too far away. You’ll find lots of help here, no matter what you experience on your journey. If you haven’t already, check out this site http://www.rawreform.com/ by Angela Stokes who lost 160 lbs. She’s very inspiring. I’ll look forward to seeing your progress!

  • Hi Kendra! Iam a student at UNH and know a few raw people around here. A friendly and lovely raw couple that live 15 minutes from portsmouth have a raw potluck once a month that you are more then welcome to attend! They make tons of raw treats and have a little shop in their home and are now selling their products for Sunfood Nutrition which is very exciting.

  • Thanks for responding – everyone is great here. :) And it’s great to see so many other New Englanders! Has anyone been to Alissa Cohen’s restuarant Grezzo yet (in Boston)? I haven’t, but I can’t wait.

    Lovetobenatural – you have totally made my day!! I can’t believe there is a monthly raw potluck so close to me – I am so excited!! I will have to get more details – thank you so much!!

    As little orphan Annie would say, I think I’m gonna like it here. :)

  • I have been to Grezzo ONCE A WEEK since Feb 18

    I LOVE THE PLACE!

    Everyone is so friendly! and the food is DELICIOUS.
