I'm doing awesome, thanks for asking!

I decided to eat soe navel oranges this morning and I couldn't stop. I ate the bag I had and went to the store for some more. I picked up a grapefruit and some tangerines and some grapes.

I juiced and ate about 15 navel oranges, 1 grapefruit, and a bunch of grapes and I feel really energized. The juice tasted amazing. I hope I satisfied whatever was in those things. I feel like having more.

I've lost 57 lbs. being raw and 65 altogether. I am down to 230.

How are you doing?

I know I shoudn't eat too much avocado. But, starting sometime last week I couldn't stop. I'm eating them like mad.

When I started this I tried an avocado and didn't care much for it.

I had an organic one yesterday and it blew my mind had rich and buttery it was.

Since I have been on this avocado kick I was kinda worried about gaining weight. But, I've lost another 6 pounds.
Apparently, I was lacking something. I feel amazing and I've lost around 80 lbs. over the last 5 months.

keep a truck'n

The last week and a half I have been eating 2 avocados a day.

I'm starting to lose the taste for them, so I am going to cut back.

Thanks for the feedback ladies.

I feel amazing!

I decided to up my greens about a week ago. My appetite has been supressed quite a bit and I've been taking in less then a thousand calories a day. I feel great though.
Anything with fats in it has lost its appeal also.

Over the last 4 days, I've eaten ALOT of fruits and vegetables and I've gained about 5 pounds. I've taken in at most 1500 calories according to fitday.com.

I feel great, but have I reached a target weight?

Or, am I retaining alot of water?
Or, something I can't think of?

I just read your diary and you have been doing fantastic. Congratulations on the weight loss. I too need to lose a lot of weight I hope I don't gain weight on this I did'nt think that was possible. I love avacados too, I did'nt know they helped lose weight. I usually have one a day but I read I should have only half of one and not every day of the week. I just love them right now. I wonder if you have reached your ideal weight. If you look and feel good than that would be the answer don't you think? If you find out anything send a noat my way

It's weird how much my weight can fluxuate.

This morning, my weight is down about 6 pounds from last night.
I'm around 205 now.

Yeah, avocados are great, and to think I didn't care for them until I became raw. I had two solid weeks where I was eating 2 or more a day and still losing weight. I guess my body needed something from them. I have since laid off of them and eat one every 2 or 3 days.

Thanks Pam for the input amd good luck to you.

Today's going to be a great day!

The last couple of days my patience has been really low and I'm extremely frustrated, some of it warranted, but not on the level I'm feeling it.

Could this be detox?

I too have been feeling negative emotions. watch out for your bowel movements and make sure you are evacuateing. I mean to say regular. They say that could have a lot to do with negative emotions.
Are you exersizing? I also have been feeling like I have pent up energy just waiting to explode. I guess I am not use to feeling good? Keep up the good work though. What books have you read? Have you found any support in your area? I am glad the grocery stores now have organic produce It is much easier than having to drive into the city to get my needs. I still want to find a young coconut I have heard they are tasty.
take care and eat well

I have been evacuating. Enough or not, I don't know as I've been eating less and less in quantity.

I've been eating alot of watermelon lately and did a search on watermelon detoxing and found out that watermelon and broccoli are good for cleaning the liver so I've been doing that the last couple of days [http://ezinearticles.com/?Detox---The-Liver-Detoxification-Diet&id=524407]. Tonight, my patience was really low and my attitude intense so I decided to quit the watermelon and broccoli thing.
I'm going to get more exercise starting now. I have been doing pretty decent with the exercise. I ride bike everyday. I train in Judo/Jujitsu twice a week. I jog and do light weightlifting a couple times a week. But, I'm thinking I need more.

I haven't read too many books on the raw diet, but I do alot of research on the web and I try to be careful with that. But, the feeling in my head is really making me wanna lash out at someone or something.

As far as support in my area, I'm the only one in the town I currently live in that I know is raw. That doesn't bother me so much. I don't mind sticking out, in fact I thrive on it.

I broke open a coconut the other day and it was good!

I know I get very irritable and on edge when my blood sugar is high. I just feel like I am going to explode! I also found the worst fruit in terms of raising my bs is watermelon.

A chiropractor that does kinesiology figured out that I am hypersensitive to broccoli also. It was my favorite vegetable too! :-( So, I gave it up and I feel better not having it in my veggie juice or on my salad.

Just thought I would share in case any of this has any relevance to your situation.

Take care.

Thanks for the info and support karennd!

I went on a long bike ride last night and ate earlier this morning. Normally, I wasn't eating till after 12:00.

I feel great today. Still too early to tell, but I think the extra biking and early eating might have helped.
