Great thread, PQ!

I just have more energy, can get around easier, have fewer problems with my arthritis (although it's still with me, it's a lot more bearable), and I fit in my chair at work now! The arms adjust out, and mine are now adjusted all the way in! And now there is room to spare. I also fit in other chairs better.

(I know you said ONE THING, but, hey, it's so nice to have multiple good things!)

I used to have a 42 inch Waist , i could never see what is below my waist when i was having a shower , now that i have a 34 inch Waist , after being on a low carb diet , i can see everything below my waist very clearly! hahaha..

Oh , and i am very energetic too , even though i dont eat carbs , my primary source of energy is the fat i have hidden now!

Too funny,,,,what ever it takes to motivate you friend to lose the weight....remember that the next time that you want to cave and eat a crap carb!

Great one! LOL

Everything is just ... easier. I go through the day with an even energy level, my knees don't hurt, my blood sugar levels and cholesterol have become normal ... and, oh yeah, being a shorty, I get to shop in the junior department - where all the cool clothes are.

Perhaps this is not a good motivational goal, however I would like to have a raspberry slice!!! It is probably crammed with carbs

However..................I would like to have it only to realise that it is not as tasty as I remember it?

Tal,
I don't know what a Raspberry Slice is and maybe that is a good thing, but I do know that being healthy and thin and feeling good about the reflection in the mirror is better than anything that I can put in my mouth, afterall it is gone is seconds.......

-Being able to look in the mirror and not be disgusted with the way I look

-Having my clothes fit better

-More energy

-Less aches and pains

-I also get a natural high from a good work-out at the gym....feels great!!!!

My bad you said one thing....oh well.

INXS, that is fine you are motivated and ready to rid of the excess weight! You list away!
