My energy level is amazing.  I feel like I can do more.  I can wrestle w/my boys and not feel restricted.  I sleep more soundly.  I can cross my legs w/out them getting numb. LOL.

I feel better about myself.  I feel more confident and care free.

My cholesterol went down 80 points.
My meds have been reduced.  
I can now feel the muscles I am building.

I love it.  The best decision made this year.

LOTS!  I can keep up with my kids ... I exercise & like it!  I can tie my shoes w/out having my face turn red!  I cook all the time, compared to going to fast food restaraunts every day.  I LOVE shopping ... FOR ME, not just my kids anymore!  I could go on and on all day ... I am so happy I lost all this weight .... and to tell you the truth, I would NOT be sad if I didn't lose another pound, I am happy with the way I look & feel!

I have noticed that when I am in the stores the clerks actually pay more attention to me. Now granted, I never thought I was  being ignored but now I realize I sort or was.
That part of it sucks that people have to be that way. But I love this new exciting chapter of my life!

I think that being more confident makes me a better wife and mom.  I love having so much energy and feeling so good.  I love shopping and clothes are so much cheaper without having to go to the plus size stores!

I like the way my new muscles look and feel and the way my body is turning into a strong one. 

i like the liberation of not feeling controlled by food. 

SO much has changed, it would take me hours to write it all!
