Sorry Penni - I understand. Thanks for your help :)

If you add all your photos to the same photo album they should all play on your page. I can only see what everone else sees and can't help unless I were to actually be signed in as you & have access to your settings. You can always private message Susan or I if you need administrative help, that way every member of the room won't get an email. Hope this helps!

I'm wondering if anyone knows what I can do... I have about 12 photos on my home page and I can't get the slideshow to go through them all and loop. It will go to the 4th picture and stop there. I've tried doing edit and selecting slideshow, most recent, loop and it won't run. If anyone can figure it out, would you please share with me? Thank you! :) :)

Hello everyone! I am studying this type of lifestyle and am convinced that it makes sense. I have some concerns because of my occupation (long haul trucker) that I haven't figured out how to overcome. Such as, I don't need to start something that will have me running to the bathroom every few minutes. My rig is over 70 feet long, and I can't park just anywhere! Also, if I started a juice fast, how could I handle the clean up. I don't have any type of running water in my truck. How much volume of fresh fruits and veggies does it require to do a juice fast for a couple of days? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone know of any other truckers in RFR?

Dear Penni,
I wrote out a pretty detailed response to Mark. I wish you would have just removed the link to my blog if it bothered you, rather than delete the entire thing. However I would like to point out that I was just offering the link to my blog as a resource for him. It is far easier than typing out everything I want to say in this comment. I promise that I did not post the link with the express goal of gaining publicity...I really don't make any money off of my blog lol.

Mark, I suppose I'll post again.

Getting enough calories from the right sources is something many raw vegans struggle with - and the reason for most failures out there, in my opinion.

I've been a raw vegan for over 2 years, so I've had time to experiment and find what works best for me:

Breakfast: big smoothie - 5bananas, 2c OJ, and .5c frozen fruit.
Lunch: monomeal fruit - recently I've been having 6-10 oranges or grapefruit.
Dinner: a big, low fat salad or blended salad - 2-3c greens, with some lemon or tomato, spices, and maybe half an avocado... And some dates or sometimes dried fruit, to add calories & to fill me up - plus I think sweetness makes everything more palatable, seeing as we are natural frugivores, so we're programmed to like sweet things!

Keep in mind that I am a 5'2 100lb female. You will probably need to eat more than this...so that's a lot of food! But it's so worth it, there's no feeling in the world like being carbed up on fruit!!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me anytime (:

Peace
