babsyintx 0 Posted February 13, 2005 Hi Joan, Thats a good question! Lots of differences. The most compelling one is that before, I used to walk up a flight of stairs and stop three times. Now I jog up and dont even get out of breath. I can fly on airplanes without a seat extender. I can exercise for an hour on an elliptical machine, treadmill and weightlift and I actually like it! I danced for four hours the other evening with two of my girlfriends at a anightclub (birthday party) and although I was really tired, I could have kep going a while longer! I used to be a size 28 and now wear a size 14. So life is very different now. This year I am actually plaaning a trip to Disneyworld with my kids without the fear of dread of fitting in the rides or getting through turnstiles getting in the way. But thats a whole new thread! Its wonderful to be able to live life the fullest and not feel like I am missing out on anything! Babs in TX 334/184/170 -150 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
