I'm watching my wife (LowCarbForLife) shrink before my eyes. Her body is being transformed by her dedication to the CAD/CALP lifestyle and her surprising (to me, anyway) enthusiasm for regular aerobic and weight training exercises.

I know she can't really see it, and we didn't take a 'before' picture (she's too modest for that), so we don't have an objective, visual way to compare her current shape to what it was when she started only a few months ago. But I can see the changes every week, and I can feel them as well -- when I put my arms around her, she feels like a different person, except that I remember that this is how it felt a long time ago... (yes, I remember.)

Sometimes it may seem like things aren't happening fast enough, but it is good to remember that it took many years to put on the weight, so it's unreasonable (in my view) to expect it to just melt away overnight. And yet, doing it her way, and in a way that she finds utterly enjoyable, she's achieving what so many people find so difficult: consistent, measurable fat loss.

Good work, sweetheart!
