Who had a WOW moment(s) this week?

Hi Everyone, This is something I normally post on the TMB but, thought it might be fun to do it here since we all had surgery in April. Now for the fun part. My WOW moments this week were one being with my Grandfather. He is a true cajun and talks cajun french alot, he also speaks his mind. I walked into his room (he is in the hospital in ICU) and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Hey Slim!" That made me feel so good because he is the first person to tell you if you need to lose weight. My second WOW moment was with my 9 year old neice. She asked me how come everytime she sees me I get smaller and smaller and would I be able to shop at the Limited II with her when I got to my goal weight. She thinks I am her age. My third WOW moment was my sister calling me the incredible shrinking woman! My fourth WOW moment and certainly my favorite was reaching ONDERLAND!!!!! So, what were your WOW moment(s) this week? Come on out and share them with us so we can cheer you on. I hope you all have a great week. I go back to work tomorrow and am dreading it. Gina

Hey Gina! Sounds like you had a great week! Congratz on reaching onderland! I am definately looking forward to THAT day! Let's see... I had a few WOW moments myself.... I stopped by to visit my grandmother and when she opened the door, she didn't recognize me at first! My husband and I had gone to this party a few weeks ago and someone took a picture of us. The person emailed it to my husband this week and he put it as his background on his computer at home and at work. He also keeps telling me how hot I look. My husband, an avid RAMS and SEAHAWKS fan, bought me a SEAHAWKS jersey. It was a woman's large and it fit!! ( a little snugger than I like but I'm used to wearing oversized shirts). Again, he couldn't stop telling me how hot I looked. I hope more of you will post your WOW moments. It's those little moments that help us get through those frustrating times!!! Deb P.S. I hope your grandfather is doing ok.

Hello Gina, What a great idea, I was just updating my OH profile and add that I had a couple WOW moments this last week, or milestones I called them in my profile. #1) Was when my girlfriend and her 2 kids came over last Saturday, Kayla, which is 7 or 8 years old came up to me and said, "Gosh your are getting smaller!" I remarked, Ya I am the shrinking Handsome Man. Then Trevor (aka Little T) my gf 10 year old son comes up to me and gives me a big hug and says you are getting smaller. I said ya, in a couple years I will be calling you Big T and not Little T. What a great feeling that is when someone actually says something to ya. #2) Is that I got to actually take a bath in the bathtub....I ACTUALLY SAT DOWN in the TUB....WOOOOOWWWWW!!!! My girlfriend Michelle was even shocked....Because the last time I tried to take a bath, was the first night I met her and we spent the night in a motel room and she suggested I take a bath and so I did and I flood the motel room..... OMG was that embarassing. Thats my WoW's for the last week.... Take Care Tom

Congratulations on a very fine week! I had a wow moment this morning when I stepped on the scale and saw 189 register! The last time I weighed in the 180s was eight years ago the last time I lost over 50 pounds. Also, it's chilly in WNY this morning and when I pulled on my 22w jeans after weeks of wearing shorts and skirts, they were huge on me. I'm so grateful I was able to get this surgery. Everything is changing for the better for me. Lynda

Hi! Being a teacher who is off for the summer, I traveled all I could. AND - I kept losing weight. I also reached onederland this week. I got back from my last vacation yesterday and got on the scales upon arriving home. I weighed in at 196. Talk about WOW! WOW #2 happened today at school. A lot of us showed up to start on bulletin boards. One teacher came to me and said, "Alonso told me you were HOT. He said he will really have to watch himself this year!" HAHAHA! This did my heart good. Alonso is our head custodian and he is 23. I am 54. What a compliment. Judy

CONGRATULATIONS, FOLKS!! I personally haven't had any WOW moments this past week other than getting over my plateau. But I'm reveling in the WOW moments of all of you! Sounds like miracles are happening!! Keep the good news coming...I love good news in all forms!! Enjoy the rest of week!! L*

My WOW moment would be that I have now lost 1 pound OVER half of the total weight I need to lose! Also that I now have more pounds on the lost side then I do on the need to lose side. Amber 296/217/140

Gina, Who ever would have thought you'd understand your loss is your gain. This is truely an amazing journey, I am WOWED everyday as I put on clothes I could not fit into for years and years. I think most of all is when other men comment how much better I look, just because most men are not comfortable saying that. Thanks for your wow list, I can surely relate to them all. Congrats on your awesome wl achievement, sounds like you are handling it well. Dan

Later, Danielle

Gina: Congrats on your wow moments. Here is mine. I have hit a plateau for a few weeks now and have not got on scale til I saw my doc last monday. I was 221 lbs. Well i had a recheck with him a week later and got on the scale and was 209. Oh my goodness I lost 12 lbs in one week. Maybe i do need to stay off the scales. Congrats and keep up the good work.
