The awesome changes I've noticed since I've lost weight:

**I can walk without my cane!!! :) :) :) (This was a BIG one)
**I can sleep without the 30 degree inclined bed wedge at night.
**I can see my feet again when I stand up and look down!
**I can sit and tie my shoes without feeling like my head is going to explode from the pressure placed on it by trying to reach over my stomach!
**I can sit in those cheap plastic patio chairs that my church has in some classrooms without having to stuff myself in them and be embarrassed when I stand up by taking the chair with me.
**I can sit on my riding lawn mower's way-too-small contoured seat without sliding off while mowing a hill.
**I can sit on the floor again without my legs going numb.
**All my pants are loose or too big.
**All my shirts are loose and showing a little definition at my waist.
**Bras are a little loose...not as great a thing, but I'll still take it.
**I have tons more energy!
**No more chest pains.
**No more heartburn.
**No more digestion problems.
**No more high blood glucose readings.
**No more high blood pressure readings.
**I CAN BREATHE EASILY AGAIN!!!!!!

I am so thankful for all these things. I feel so much better, and the more I lose, the more I want to succeed at getting completely healthy. Once again, I give God the glory, because without His strength, I couldn't do this.

One of the important things, one you don't think about, is being able to put on your socks without help.

It's really neat to write the milestones down. When discouragement hits you can always look back and be thankful. You have done an excellent job you should be so proud of youself.

Thanks for all the encouragement! It really is fun at this point. It just motivates me to work even harder. I am enjoying the exercise the most.
