The Green Smoothie Experiment Ends

[Raw Vegan Mama]

I love Valerie Winters and her green smoothies. I loved reading what she was up to each day for the last 6 months. I was bummed a few weeks back when she started blogging only once per week. And now... *gasp* She is bringing her green smoothie experiment to an end.

Valerie has lost 125 lbs in 6 months, just 'cause she eats green smoothies and moves a little more. She will start adding a plate of fruit to her diet any day now, and will not be blogging on that blog anymore.

I am actually sad for this to end. I hope she starts another blog up soon!

Anyone else a fan of Valerie and her Green Smoothie Experiment? I know Raw Love/Melissa did an interview with her for the June 2007 Pear Magazine.

I too am sad to see the experiment end. Valerie is a great on-line friend of mine and I hate to see her stop blogging. I just talked to her the other day and she is doing great. She will be back after her move I am sure. (I hope) Valerie has inspired so many poeople with weight issues of their own.

I hope that she does not delete the blog as she says she wants to, because people will continue to read it and she will continue to encourage all souls with weight issues.

I hope she does continue to blog! She has done so well! 6 months, that is amazing. I can see why she would want a plate of unblended fruit!

Oh, I grew to love Valerie just from reading her daily blog and I was so proud of her...I shared her story with many of my friends as she's been such an inspiration. I was so bummed when she went to once a week blogging and for selfish reasons...she was so real in everything she shared and I could get a tear in my eye with some of her successes.

I am very bummed that she's gonna discontinue her story and I hope she will continue to do well. I feel that a part of her success was the writing and I worry that by stopping it'll be easier to get off the path...I'm probably saying this because I want her to come back...she just has such a way to make the simplist thing sound interesting...

Valerie is a hero for overcoming so much and I pray for her continued success...

I wonder why she's ending the experiment. I too loved tracking her progress. I wonder if its a time or motivation thing.

I haven't been online lately so this is the first I'm hearing about this. I'll miss Valerie a lot. She was a real inspiration to me, but I understand her wanting to move on after six months.

BTW, I'm new and this is my first post. Hello everyone!

Val, will not be stopping her consumption of green smoothies all she is doing is adding some fresh fruit to her day along with the smoothies. Much the same reason I ended my 100 day fast she wants and misses eating their local freah fruit in the summer and fall months. I have to say that I do not blame her.
I think doing her bolg each day was getting a little waring on her it is a huge committment. She also gets a huge amount of e-mails from people that follow her and she answers each one, that alone is huge. She just needs a break maybe when they get all moved she will come back to her blog.
