At least some of my numbers are moving...

Just posting to cleebrate my little achievement!

I've been on SBD for almost 3 months and have been stuck after losing 13 pounds. My own fault - don't exercise enough and 'cheat' more than I should. That said, however, I had bloodwork done this week and my cholesterol is down from 239 in Jan '06 to 184!! I'm ecstatic! HDL/LDL/Triglycerides all look good too.

I have never felt so good as I have on this diet! I know I need to get my butt in gear and start working out more and fine tuning my diet to get the scale moving again, but at this stage I know it is doable and I don't feel discouraged at all - I'm just happy to have stopped the upward trend!! And seeing those cholesterol numbers go down might just be the motivation I need!

Congrats!! I tend to think of the scale movement as more short term movtivation, but the blood profile numbers as the rationale for really seeing this program as the lifestyle program it was intended to be for life. And the longer we stay on the eating right and exercising path, the better our chances of getting the scale numbers to where we want them to be as well. Bascially it just makes sense to eat this way, so why change back! ;)
