Fat Baggage- Is Yours Packed?

For me, I have way more energy.. and my appetite is just plain down, and yes, I too sometimes forget to eat.
Last year, when I was low carbing, these were my stats:

My cholesterol down to 137
My HDL and LDL both within the normal range.
My Triglycerides also in the normal range as well as my Blood Sugar.

So now I am back on track and zooming along... I have lower mini goals that I did last year.
As far as my skin, well my skin is very very old.. and I don't think any amount of water or creams or anything else will fix my skin. I spent far too much time as a beach bunny, plus I smoked for years.. (Been smoke free now for 8½ years !)

However, I still drink a gallon of water each and every day. I think water is my new addiction..

I notice too that my "wiggle when I walk" seems to get better with my weigh loss too. When I was down into the 160's, I would actually strut just a tiny bit..

Kat, keep going, you are on fire! WooWoo!

Dixie, thanks for making this a sticky. It is v. motivational.

I for one know that I am less cranky and moody when I stay on plan!

Tying my shoes or putting on hose doesnt feel like I'm going to have a coronary!!! I dont hurt all over and struggle to get in my drivers seat, I was having to pick my leg up to get in but no more.

I can give myself my own B-12 shots cuz I can now reach around to keep needle straight.

Shaving my legs is much easier too.

I've lost just 12 lbs so far and I think sex is better. LOL I feel slimmer right away in the tummy so it makes it easier to contact well and feel better about myself. I have always had high cholesterol so I look forward to the results when it is retested and will post the difference here. I also have to remind myself to eat which is huge for me. I was always feeding the hungry monster before. What helps me remember is that my husband looks at me like... " are you ever gonna fix me dinner?"

I think that my mood is much better, instead of beating up myself for being fat, I treasure the days that I stick to the plan!!! Whoohooo for all us good LC'ers....
