I know that at this point in time the most positive changes we all look for are weight loss and improved health. But yesterday I realized that there are other positive changes that have nothing to do with my body. Some are kind of funny, but very realistic. Here are the changes I've noticed:

1) My car stays cleaner longer because I no longer eat a lot of junk in it.

2) My total cost of food has gone down because I don't have soy lattes from Starbucks each day and I don't buy junk food anymore.

3) Our pantry is half empty because it's not filled with all the junk food I used to buy.

4) My husband (who is a perfect body weight) is eating healthier, which should help his high cholesterol.

5) Two people in my family have started Atkins after seeing my results. They both need to lose a lot of weight (more than 100 lbs.) and I'm so happy they're taking this seriously. More importantly, they seem to be dedicated and are doing really well with it.

What changes have you noticed since starting Atkins?
