How has your WEigHtLoSs success effected your life?

[godsbeloved79]

In a positive way or a negative way? For me it was POSITIVE! I gained a self respect for myself and I was more outgoing. As you can see I allowed myself to gain the weight back and more. I'm reinducting for the last time and making this WOE a lifestyle change!

My life had changed so so much since I discovered Atkins. lost close to 5 stone (british measurement) and my confidence, fitness and countless other things have risen beyond belief.

I just wish Dr Atkins was still alive now.

Hi Rich,

Dr. Atkins is looking down and he is proud of you and many others for staying the course. You look great and you give me hope!

Job Well done Betty!

people now refer to me like I have always been thin.... or "you are naturally thin and athletic looking"

it is nice to hear ...but kind of embarassing since it sure as helll is not true

it took a lot of work to figure this whole thing out ...worth every second

Even with just the 23 pounds I've lost so far, it's been a change for the better! I have more energy, I'm regaining my confidance and I don't feel ill all the time. I can't imagine how much better it's going to be once I get down to a healthy weight.

Energy, confidence, stamina, courage to try new things, new clothes, new looks, new positions, helped with my struggle with depression, less moodiness, less dramtic hormonal shifts, more patience, less jittery lightheaded feelings. I guess not all of this can be attributed to the weight LOSS per say, but it is all directly related to the lack of sugar and the feelings that came WITH the weight loss.

A great question! GL on your journey!

I have lost a little over forty lbs since 2-27-06. It has been a total blessing. I am healthier, happier, stronger, and more confident.
The downside is, I cant afford to keep buying new clothes every week... LOL. But, thats still a good thing.

Gosh, there are so many to list. Definitely POSITIVE things:
Self Confidence, feeling sexy, fitting into normal sized clothes, Getting noticed because I look good, not noticed because of how awful I look, Sleeping all night, waking up before the alarm, no acid reflux, no irritable bowel, no neck aches, less headaches, smaller thighs!, REDUCED CHOLESTEROL (down 53 total pints TYVM), Healthier, My family is PROUD of me, I'm PROUD of myself...there are just so many things. I'll think on it and come back to post more later.
