Focusing on my WOW moments helps me focus when the scale is being stuburn :-)

1st WOW: I can stand closer to my husband since I lost 5" from my hips

2nd WOW: I fit my "INCENTIVE" size 14 slacks and blazers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I started out wearing size 18/20

I'm right there with you, both in prior sizing and current size. I just had to buy some new work clothes and today I wore a dress to church that I haven't had on in a really long time! I had sewed it which is why I never got rid of it. AND I looked cute (if I say so myself...). Congrats on your WOW moments.

Trying on clothes is kind of fun. I use to cry when I had to go shopping for clothing because nothing seemed to fit.

I'm turning into a shop-aholic.  I love trying on new clothes and it is so much fun being able to buy things in normal sizes. 
Another thing is getting off of the medications - to me it has all been worth it up to this point.

Confession time: When I was first married (about 25 years ago) my husband and I would pretend we were going to an event and shop at high end clothing stores. I would model and we would have a blast. Of course we didn't plan on buying anything nor did we have the money.  It was soooooooooo much fun. I felt like the movie pretty women where the sales staff fall all over you trying to help you. I'd love to do it again when I reach my goal weight.

I've had a couple WOW moments...

When I went back to work, I tried on my scrub pants and they came up under my boobs...way too big!

The first set of clothes that I have "gotten into" are now almost falling off!!

the clothes definitely, moving my seat up in the car. Who knew my stomach was that big? Instead of SPILLING over in the movie theater seats, I am smaller than my seat! woohoo, that was HUGE to me, we go to the movies a lot. I got a belt with a pair of jeans last year and have never been able to use the belt, it was too small, now I'm on the last hole! Craziness.

There have been so many wow moments. Little things we didn't dare to think about. :-)
