Since losing weight through both totally overhauling my nutrition and incorporating regular exercise, my doc reports the following:
* Before losing weight, my blood sugar had been high, and now it's great
* Before losing weight, my cholesterol (including LDL) had been high, and now it's LOW
* Before losing weight, my blood pressure had been high, and now it's in the low average/absolutely normal range
* My risk for heart disease is now "below average"
* I tested negative for any kind of thyroid stuff
* I have no insulin resistance or diabetes...and I was definitely trending that way before
Those are just the quantifiable medical improvements as reported by my doctor. I would add to the list of improvements the following:
* My cardiovascular health and endurance have improved immeasurably as demonstrated by my increased capabilities in exercise and daily activity
* My energy has increased a thousandfold
* I sleep better
* My skin tone is drastically improved
* My agility and strength are drastically improved, as is my balance
* I'm more mentally alert and lucid
* I look 10 years younger
* My mobility is markedly different, since I'm so much smaller (I've gone from a size 26/28 to a 16/18 at the time of this writing)
* My self-confidence, demeanor and self-esteem are so different
* I'm much more flexible and graceful than I was 66 pounds ago
* My emotional outlook is drastically improved
* I have more fun and smile and laugh a lot more
Just wanted to share some of my improvements thus far.....
Gen, my dear!
