Who had a WOW moment(s) this week?

Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got all of their Christmas shopping done. It's Monday morning and it's confession time. Who had a WOW moment(s) this week? I had several. My first WOW moment was at Wal-Mart. I had my oil changed in my car and as I was leaving the mechanic was trying to get my phone number from me. My second WOW moment was at Old Navy. I tried on some pajama bottoms and my man said try on a medium I bet they will fit. Well, he was right, I got into a medium. WOW me and a medium never went in the same sentence. My third WOW moment was Saturday. Tracy and I went to the mall, it was my first adventure in the mall since WLS and let me tell you it was AWESOME! I was able to go into any store I wanted and try on anything I wanted too!!! We walked the mall for about 3 hours and neither one of us ever got tired. We couldn't have done that before WLS. My fourth WOW moment was Sunday. Tracy and I had to go back to the mall to get another gift. We went to Dillards and I asked the sales lady where the petite section was and she never looked at me like I was nuts. She simply pointed me in the right direction and even offered to help me. My fifth WOW moment was going into Victoria's Secret and getting waited on. In the past they never would have offered to help me. That was a good feeling. And the BEST WOW moment this week was losing 6 lbs. Whether you are pre-op, post-o*****n-op we love to hear about your WOW moments. It keeps others motivated and going. So, come on out and share them with us so we can cheer you on to victory. Gina

Hey Gina, I can finally say I've had a WOW moment. The first one was on Saturday. I went shopping at Marshall Fields and picked up a size 14 jeans (a long way from a size 24) and said if I can fit them I'm going to buy them. Well, guess what? They are hanging in my closet. The 2nd WOW moment was this morning when I got on the scale and it read 189. I'm 2 pounds away from the century club and feel great. Honestly I didn't think I would ever make it to the century club because I had hit a 2 month plateau and it was driving me crazy. I mean I didn't lose 1 inch or 1 pound. Now I can gladly say I'm on the losing side again and everybody was right. My body had to catch up with my weight loss. Well until my next Wow moment. C Ya!!!!!!! Anjail 287 start/189 8 months/150 someday.

Hey everyone....wishing you the best during the holidays!! My WOW came at the mall too. $$$ is a little tight this year and I hit the clearance rack at the Gap and got two pairs of dress pants that were origianlly priced at $68.00 each for $19.99!! I LOVE ME SOME CLEARANCE RACKS!!! I'm 5 pounds away from the Century Club and 10 pounds from my goal. This has been the most amazing experience of my life... L*

throughout this whole journey I have had several wow moments. This has been the journey of a lifetime, and I wouldnt change a thing. For my wow moments of this week, I went out to deliver the christmas cookies that I baked to friends who hadnt seen me since before surgery, and they couldnt beleive it was me. She told me how great I looked and just keep staring at me all the time, and she also said I was glowing. my second wow moment was when I got out of the shower over the weekend, grabbed a towel, and was able to wrap it around me and walk out of the bathroom. now mind you, when I started this journey 8 months ago, i couldnt even wrap a large beach towel around me and walk out of the bathroom without exposing my booty for the world to see, and this weekend i grabbed a regular old towel off the shelf and wrapped it around, and out the door i went. couldnt beleive it. it would sound silly to say to most people, but im sure the people on this site understand more than they wish they did. WISHING EVERYONE A VERY MERRY HOLIDAY AND THE HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS. Anita B. 420/278/200 someday soon hopefully

I had a major wow moment this morning. Tuesday's are my weigh in days and for some reason I wasn't looking forward to weighing today. My loss has been really slow lately. I felt really fat and bloated yesterday. OMG, I got on that scale and it said I lost 8 pounds since the last Tuesday. It's digital too! I couldn't believe it! I just flew right through the 70's and into the 60's after being stuck in the 80's for a long time. That's been the biggest loss since my very first week. My last good loss was 5 pounds in one week in October. All I can say is mix up your calories. I probably had between 300-400 calorie differences in my days. One day up, one day down. Always keep the protein above 60 grams too. No, I'm not an exerciser or big on water, and yes I eat chocolates and carbs in moderation and small quantity. That's the truth and about all I know. Oh yes, the best part was that it put me into the "overweight" BMI category!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only 8 pounds more than my wedding day weight and 28 to goal!!!!!!!! Hooray for the WOW moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amber 296/168/140 -128 pounds!

Ladies I have not been on this site for awhile and I'm glad I read it tonight. I have had many wow moments thru this journey but the one that sticks in my mind is: I went to K Mart to do some shopping on Friday and bought some sweats and P.J.'s. Yesterday I was thinking and realized I was not shopping in the plus section. It took me 4 days to realize this. Am I slow or what? All your Wow Moments inspire me to do right. I have lost 111 lbs but I want to lose another 50 before May. I am going to have a hernia repair and tummy tuck then. See all lighter. Joanne
