...to yourself! Losing over 65lbs has significantly improved my quality of life. I no longer need blood pressure medication (from 145/90 to 112/68), have reduced my resting heart rate from 85-90 BPM to 55-60 BPM, significantly reduced my diabetes risk (which is rampant in my family), and improved my energy level immensely. I feel great and look forward to shopping for clothes now! I still have work to do... a few more pounds and some weight lifting to increase my muscle mass.
It's hard to believe, but I was just talking with someone today who mentioned that 65lbs is the average weight of a 10 year old!. Can't believe I've been walking around with a 10 year old on my shoulders all this time. :-)
For those who are striving to lose weight or just get healthy...exercise and, most importantly, EAT PROPERLY. We're all on this plane ride called life. I hope that good health will allow me "to travel" as comfortably as I can...and not in the cargo hold :-).
