I know we have had a lot of WOW moments in our journey. To you, which was the most significant WOW moment you had?

I would say the best WOW moment I had was when my daughter came and sat on my lap and for the first time EVER i did push her away because it was to hard to hold her.. I realized at that point.. i had a lap and i could hold her forever.. Coming in second would be when I hit 150 and was no longer overweight.. i was just normal.. My number three wow was when I got to onderland.. I wanted that so bad. I think about all the other wow's I had.. riding a horse without pain, new pant sizes, they are all great and I keep them close to my heart.. but to hold a child in your lap for the first time without pain.. nothing can compare to that one..

My biggest "wow" was when I recently went shopping with my sister at a plus size clothing store. I decided to try on a few things that were on clearance so I chose the smallest size but when I tried them on, they were too big. The sales clerk asked me if anything worked for me and I said "no" and she said "Well, I knew you were too small for our clothes!!!" That just made my day! I honestly don't remember the time when I didn't wear plus size clothing so to know that I don't wear them anymore was the most amazing thing to me! Another recent "wow" was when I tried on some cute capris pants at JCPennys and the 12s were too big. I tried the 10s on and they fit so I bought 2 pairs! Ha, ha! Another one was when a cashier checked my drivers lisence for ID and she kept looking from my ID to me and back and forth and finally she said "My gosh, you have lost a ton of weight!" That felt pretty good too! I need a new drivers license picture!!! Deanna

Getting into onederland was a biggie for me. There have been several though and I'm looking forward to more.

1. was onederland 2. was flying and not needing a belt extension 3. not being told I was to fat to ride a horse.. 4. when I was out to dinner a week ago with my husband and the owner came up to my husband and said it must be nice being out with your daughter!...LOL...

Definatley onederland is the top WOW Just a two weeks ago I was talking w/ someone at the gym and she was asking me about one of the classes and she said.... "well your fit, so I am sure the class is no problem for you, I am too big to do that" I just was so surprised that she said that! ME....FIT! WOW! Kristen

There have been soooo many. Yesterday's trip to Cato and the realization of no more Plus Size felt awesome. Roller coaster rides with no worries was a biggie for me. Walking by a window and startling myself because I thought a stranger was there. Looking at my hands, wrists, legs, neck, collarbones and realizing how much smaller I am. I am constantly amazed. I can't wait until goal Also getting under 300 and losing 100 pounds were both big number wow moments fo me.

Being called "little"...amazing.

Thats great.. yeah.. hitting the 100 pound mark and onderland where pretty special to me too.. great answers everyone..
