You have asked if we feel better. While I've not really fallen off the wagon since starting SB, I've over Indulged in treats from time to time.
When I started SB July 6,2004 I could only walk the treadmill for 4 minutes and was dripping with sweat.Thought I was going to die. I couldn't do any stairs without extrem pain in my knees and ankles. I was tired all the time, and not fun to be with.(ask hubby )
Now I can do 1 mile in 20 minutes. I can go up and down my basement stairs without any pain in my knees or ankles.( but rainy days I have Arthritis pain still) Not to mention I can now wear regular size clothes.
I've learned to eat the correct portion sizes. I still have chocolate, or sweet treats now and then. NOT EVERYDAY, and only a 2-3 bites of a treat.
My hubby is my biggest cheerleader, he made his goal of loosing 60lbs in 6 months and has been at his goal for 1 year. All the new friends I have made here, keep me going. Somedays just coming to this forum is what keeps me honest, and moving towards my goal.
