She is looking pretty good these days, isn't she? Ah, the benefits just keep piling up!! Congrats imagood1 on your progress!! You and Sunny_One keep all of us motivated!!

I am just in awe of imagood1's exercise program. Riding her bike 10 -- and sometimes 15 miles a day -- and all the other exercise challenges she does. She also leads the Drink Up Water challenge, and posts photos of her yummy meals.

And the improvement in her blood sugar levels is an inspiration for those who are diabetic.

Congratulations, imagood1 on being a role model for all of us!

Yes Carole is a great motivator. I really like the post she has in the diabetes forum.
Way to go imagood1

OMG -- I didn't know this existed....Sunny_One sent me the link. Thank you everyone for your kind words....I really appreciate them so much. It's one thing that helps me keep going on those days I would like to chuck everything in. I don't have those days as often now that I understand the science of this WOE and have decided I'm not in a big hurry to get to my goal....as long as I am happy and love the food I'll get there, I know it.

I was wondering how long it would take for you to see this!!!

and it's totally true - all of what I wrote as well as everyone else's replies. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!

thank you Keri -- ya'll are wonderful also. Believe me there were a lot of days I wouldn't have made it through without the Atkins site! Especiallly those first few days and weeks when I didn't know if I could do this.

I'm very happy with my progress (albeit slowly!) but I really think there is a reason for this. I have learned to appreciate each day for what it is, good or not so good. I am also truly happy for other people which is new for me....I've spent most of my life being jealous of what other had that I didn't....now it doesn't matter.

The only time I think about being on a "diet" is when someone says something to me -- the guy who Greg rides with saw me in the yard tonight and ask me how much weight I'd lost....he thought I was looking much better than before Christmas when he saw me last...that made me feel good!

Ok -- I'm off to bed...tomorrow we have an electrician coming! Thank you again!
