Damn right...I use a little affirmation I heard somewhere that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". I'll never be thin, per se, but it feels great to be thinNER.

Are you drinking more water? I've increased my intake to about a gallon and a half per day, as well as hitting the gym four days a week. In addition to being thinner, my muscle tone is getting pretty good, and my wind is back...I do 50 minutes of running on the elliptical (bad knees keep me off the treadmill), followed by some weights. Feels great! I, too, sleep a lot better, and there are other, uh, shall I say, "social" benefits that my gal seems pretty pleased with as well.

Continued good luck with the new way of life, FRiend.

I drink about 96oz of water a day and I take alpha lipoic acid which is a super anti-oxidant. Its claim to fame is in helping moderate sugar/insulin levels, I have neuropathy in my feet so it helps with the burning/stinging/tingling sensations.

I've become somewhat an avid bicyclist at this point. I have terribly arthritic knees, funny how losing weight and bicycling dramatically alleviates those symptoms!
