First off, Which is best? Dr. Atkins or Medifast Diet? Thanks in advance for any comment. Another question I got... As I move from obese to overweight and soon a healthy weight, I have noticed many things are different - my husband can actually put his arms around me, wooden benches hurt after awhile, I can squeeze into small spaces without clipping the wall, etc. But yesterday I definitely found one for the books..

I was cleaning my bathroom and bent over from the waist to clean near the floor. Gravity took over and I could feel my head being pulled down. I was toppling over! I didn't have enough ballast in my bottom half anymore to keep me standing! I couldn't stop my forward motion and I nearly landed in the toilet. Fortunately I was able to change my landing spot and didn't "splash down". I sat on the floor and laughed. It reminded me of when I was taught to dive into a pool, bend over hang your arms down and let yourself slide into the pool..

So, along with all the positive changes, there are a few unexpected ones. I still have 20 more pounds to go (my ticker hasn't been updated). I am a little nervous about what else could be ahead..

SO, friends, enjoy your reclaimed bodies but be careful when you bend over. Hopefully we will all soon have no more ballast holding us down...
