    I like the way you show your before and after pics.

    I feel more confident overall; I think that’s a secondary effect from eating healthy, weight loss and decent sleep. ;)

    Great idea here! Here’s another benefit:
    Less toxins for your system to have to deal with.
    AND The chance to develop healthy habits along side your kids.

    Skinny Skirts -
    Fun in the Kitchen (trying new recipes and getting creative with veggies) –
    Getting winked at by the cashier when you’re out grocery shopping-
    Confidence that spreads out, not just about your appearance but about yourself as a whole being-

    hmmm, add to that you’ll -

    won’t feel as depressed,
    not sick as often,
    joints don’t hurt,
    sugar level stabalize,
    not feeling as tired and sluggish through the day.

    You guys are doing a great job!

    Angie,

    I used to be on several medications. I’m now off every single one of them. The weight loss combined with the daily exercise will continue to keep me off all the meds.

    I experienced a lot of the benefits already mentioned. Because of losing weight, exercising, and getting off of blood pressure medicine, I was able to get pregnant. So my big benefit was a bouncing baby boy!

    Audrey: Way to go! No more meds is an awesome benefit.

    Kim: Definitely a great benefit. So glad to hear you got off your BP meds.

    Thanks for taking the time to comment.
