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 love to Run and beat my p.r. in races. I also love to swim. I like going to the movies and I love spending quality time with my 3 kids. I need to switch modes from running races and start really focusing on my breath and maybe start Yoga one of these days. Would like to be with someone who is very caring and not harsh and competitive in all sports and everyday things.
I love to oil paint and I love to sing. I am pretty good at acting too, so I love that. I guess you could say I am a jackqueline of all trades and I never get the chance to master any.Oh, well, when the kids get older I hope!.

My main goal is too be the fittest and healthiest I could be. I love to feel alive. I don't do well with being tired. I am a very cranky when I am a tired person. I love being social, so the low fat raw food thing, never really makes it too far b/c everyone likes to go out to eat. Since the economy is bad now anyway, I am not going out to restaurants much anyway. I was married for almost 12 years and the last 2 have been up and down. I am now looking to be with someone more peaceful than who I was with before.

But I am starting a transition with going raw again and this time I am going to have more fat than 10% for the first 30 days, simply because if i don't bad things happen to me and my family doesn't deserve that much pain. I love to spread the love about 811 though, even if I am not following it 100% all of the time. I know we would have a much better(less smelly and more vital) world if everyone was 811rv. even if I just plant a seed(so to speak) in someone's mind. Who knows where that seed will grow and how many more seeds would spread if I do?

I also believe there would be less crime if people adopted the 811rv lifestyle..well, maybe not during the detox stage, but certainly after that! I am sick and tired of being sick and tired! Here's to hoping to be raw for life. Hope I could stick with it this time for good:) Wish me luck!

There is no question this lifestyle is the optimum. I never questioned it once! It makes so much sence! I just wish I never got seduced by the aromas of cooked foods. Ugh, that part is hard for me, I must say.

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....
too many to choose, but to round it off, I would have to say I am a romantic and I love that gushy stuff and I also love love love comedy! I good comedy could lift me up on the gloomiest days. I also love good acting. I can not really tolerate bad acting. I love everything to be top knoch in movies as well as books. I recently read Anne Osborne's book called "THE PATH TO PARADISE"(SHE IS ALSO A MEMBER.) IT WAS FABULOUS! VERY INSPIRING ABOUT HER LIFE AS A FRUITARIAN AND RAISING HER CHILDREN ON THE SAME DIET. She is also very sweet, as I have spoken to her via skype.(but then how could she not be super sweet? All she eats are sweet fruits! She is what she eats and it shows!
Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?
I would like to get rid of toxic waste in the world and inside my body. My body feels like a toxic waste land.
I would love all the assistance I could get. I am an emotional eater and I eat from stress mostly and I go to the foods that used to comfort me.
I do realize that I am in love with foods that don't love me back. So, since I was great at ending relationships that went bad, I should be good at ending the bad relationship I have with foods. I think I am finally on my way, as I had gone through an entire buffet of bad relationships with food for 39 years. (That should be enough time to finally get it right)
I have struggled so much and I need to lose the last 20lbs and feel light again and love how I look and feel. I really could use the best advice out there. Anyone wanna take me on?
Even though I live with an 811 rv man, it is still a struggle. My husband had a progression. As for me, I never really got to the vegan stage. I need to just do this.
I am totally convinced that 811rv is the only way humans should be eating. I never questioned it, I just need to get on board and send those bad foods packing!
We need to get Dr. Doug Graham and his wife Rozalind , as well as Anne Osborne, Harley and Freelea, my husband and maybe even all of these members on The Oparah Winfrey Show. She would really get the word out there.
Anyone have a connection? Let's get to work and spread the seeds of love! Let's make this bigger than American Idol and all of the hyped shows out there! Who's with me? I am not the poster child for it yet, but with your help I will be!

The difference between cooked vs raw foods

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 12:30am 2 Comments

Well, when I first embarked on a raw foods diet I was a bit upset at the fact that I could only eat wet foods. Now I see it as the only thing I want. I see dry cooked foods now and I can't believe I once loved them. Yeah, of course some of them are still good, but just recently when I had some, not only did they smell so much better than they tasted, but my tongue felt burned by the heat and my mouth felt as though there was cotton in it.

I was not a happy girl. My thirst was insane and…

I love Freelee and Harley

Posted on September 24, 2011 at 1:46pm 6 Comments

I have to say, I have not written here in a while, but since I was so blown away with Freelee and Harley I wanted to write how much I adored meeting them and getting to know them in Ny. I was thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to meet them in person and get to know them. They are truly living the lifestyle that they talk about. They are fine examples of what is to come if we all follow what they are doing.



Freelee is with it, bright and kind and giving. She is an… Continue

Detoxing Post Fast

Posted on February 8, 2011 at 11:00am 2 Comments

I would like to say that I am detoxing in such a way after my fast of 21 days that it got me to question my fast in the first place. I am not going to say that I knew all about detox and what to really expect, because everyone is different and everyone detoxes and gets rid of toxins in their own time. Everyone's lifestyle is different and everyone has been through different diets and situations making their journeys unique.

 

I started getting doubts about my fast about 2 weeks…

Papaya Island awaits!

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 3:07am 6 Comments

I just bought 40 boxes of small Papayas(7 per box) so it is going to be Papaya Island for me for about a week or two depending who gets to all of them before I could in my family..

the funny thing is, I hated papayas before I went on my 21 day water fast..no joke..I couldn't even get past the aroma of them..I used to hate when Michael brought them in to the house and ate them..Now it is all I want and all I crave! 

I had them all of last week and I will be also adding some…

Victoria.

Theres a DW talk coming up locally I'd like to attend to ask him questions and expose his bs. I'd like to bring 811ers, and I think you'd be quick on your feet and outspoken.

I could drive us, its coming up in the next month or so.

Oh and DV will be there too. I'd love it if you came with me and we kicked some ass.
