Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.
I have been watching Freelee's videos for the last 2 years and she makes this lifestyle seem so perfect for me. I've went back and forth from being vegetarian, but it never stuck because the people around me didn't approve and I let it get to me. So, I've been depressed, lost, disgusted and confused with my way of living for quite some time. The last few months I have buckled down and hae been searching for ultimate way to get happiness in my life. I've learned that my being overweight has made me dislike myself and now I'm forever going to change that. I love myself for deciding to go vegan:) Although, I've only been vegan for 2 weeks I know I'm NEVER going back to animal byproducts; EVER. I've made this commitment for my health, for the animals, and for my best chance at life:) Here's to happiness and thanks for giving me the hope in getting there. P.S. I love ALL of your videos Freelee!

Jumping into "Raw till 4"

Posted on April 1, 2013 at 6:10am 3 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I'm very excited to be easing into this lifestyle. Although my goal is to be 100% raw over time, for now I'm gonna be doing the "Raw till 4" plan Freelee has designed. I was in this forum and lifestyle last year, but after gaining weight and attributing it to eating too much(then gaining even more over the holidays, etc.,), I'm finally ready to give it a try and just focus on being healthy. That being said, I've been transitioning into the "Raw till 4" diet for the…

Fully Raw Vegan Day 3

Posted on December 31, 2012 at 12:13pm 0 Comments

As the title suggests, this is my 3rd day being back on the raw vegan wagon :)

Over Christmas I ate cooked s&*$$@ food for about 4 days and starting feeling extremely crappy. Especially since directly before that I had succeeded at being 100% raw for roughly 4 days. But now that the holidays are over and New Years is here I have no option but to set myself up for a full year of Raw goodness. So far, I feel so much lighter and I have a ton more energy! My skin is clearing and my…

Week 1 of HCRV

Posted on July 25, 2012 at 3:29am 2 Comments

Okay, week 1 was pretty good I feel. I ate perfectly, 100% RAW all except for 1 meal. That was definately the last time I'll ever eat cooked food though because I felt terrible the next morning and even called out of work(bloated even when I woke up, nausea, migrane, just BAD). In the cooked meal I only I had like 1/2 cup rice and 1 corn cob(cooked) but I was surprised how bad I felt afterwards. It truly shows the toxicity of cooked substances. But I haven't eaten anything cooked since then…

Hi Ashlee!

Yea, that would be great. I know, raw food lovers are few and far between in Arizona, atleast that I am aware of. I am excited for you beginning on your raw food journey! 

Many blessings,
