Well...For me it's mainly about weight loss. I'm one of those people that had pretty good health--though I could see some things coming in maybe 15 years.

Part of that is that I've eaten a fairly low carb diet for a long time. I lost some weight about 20 years ago, then gained it back. But I've never really gone back to a full-blown, all the time SAD. I've had some bad stretches, which is how I put on weight, but I think the other stretches have helped me keep my health in check.

Thanks for all the cheering on, girls! I went outside yesterday after I posted and got in the sunshine and did a little gardening on my balcony. That helped me wake up and improved my mood! I'm feeling better this morning. I got up and worked out.

I'm still feeling a bit stuck with my weight loss lately. But I haven't been working out and I have too many days when I'm off plan, so I know why. A few days of superstrict very low carbs will help my mood and energy re-set, I'm sure.
