Community PageWelcome to the forum!! I, too, was 40 lbs overweight with many other medical issues because of the standard american diet I was on. I went raw almost 4 years ago because it was my last resort. I lost all that weight and gained my health back in a matter of months. It is amazing what the body will do when its well nourished!! Keep up the good choices and feel free to ask anything that concerns you. There are many poeple on here with different backgrounds, ages and experiences to help with advice and/or support. 
From the research I've done over the last 4 years on a mostly raw food diet I have found out that B12 supplimentation is vital to your health. Matt Monark, from the Raw Food world, has some tutorials on the subject I believe.
What great subjects (hair and skin issues, suppliments, etc...). Something I think we all deal with at one time or another...especially on a new diet we're on. Great suggestions by all! I do think it's a great idea to be checked by your doctor or practicioner if you're experiencing unwanted issues that aren't going away. I mean...who wants "broken" hair?? Right?! 
Welcome! I look forward to experiencing your raw journey with the Rawtarian community.
