Halfway to my goal!

Thanks to everyone on the AB forum for your support and knowledge so far!! I really appreciate it.

I am pretty excited about this! Here's what I have noticed so far:

I am about 3 sizes smaller (22 to a 16) and a total of 32 inches smaller all over!
Most of my knee and lower back pain has improved significantly.
I can cross my legs! I do this all the time at work and sit there pleased a*****h.
I am feeling less despondent, more hopeful, generally happier, and more energy.
My blood pressure dropped from dangerously high to normal.
I am beginning to exercise and tone, and finding things much easier physically.

I am getting some nice compliments, most not specific to weight loss but just that I look great etc. The funniest one so far I mentioned earlier still stands - someone thought my nose looked bigger. I think my cheeks are a lot smaller ;)

I have never in my life been able to lose a significant amount of weight, so for me this is just the most incredible thing.

I am able to eat almost anything - including, as I recently discovered, chocolate… so I am trying to focus on feeding my body high quality things. As everyone says, I am now in the phase where I am learning it is a tool to be managed.

what a lot of wonderful changes that you have experienced...so so happy for you and so proud of you...you rock on there girl....tammy

Congrats on all the NSV, isn't it just amazing to be able to cross our legs and be comfortable all at the same time. I too can cross mine to the left or right, feels wonderful.
Also thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm almost 3 months out and I get more excited as the time goes by cause I know there are even more changes to come.

Kee.
