A New Perspective "WOW"

I wanted to write and share a "wow" moment with everyone. I was at one of my daughters basketball games and was talking to my brother-in-law who brought my niece (shes just turned 9 years old) to watch the game. He asked how much I had lost and out of no ware I asked my niece how much she weighed (kids love to be asked this question, unlike most adults ) and she said 95 lbs. I said that I had "lost" almost her. Which when I thought about it was amazing, to think that I would have to pick her up and carry her everywere would of been what it was like 8 months ago was a BIG "WOW" moment for me. Congratulation to us all for losing a "whole" person!!! Next time you feel down and are on a stall maybe just rememer how far we have already come and remember were we stared, cariing around 9-12 year olds on our bodies everyday!!!!! AMAZING!!! Take care and Keep up the GREAT work everyone!!!! Lynette

What a great WOW moment Lynette!! At my 6 month check-up my Dr and I were talking and it turns out she weighs one more pound than I had lost then, I said to her - I used to carry you around all day long, and I couldn't set you down even if I wanted too! She thought that was a great example of how much weight I had lost. Glad to heat your doing so well! Jan

WOW Jan, Your doing Fabulous!!! Your Doc Huh?? THATS GREAT!!!! Had to believe isn't it? But so Wonderful to have accomplished!! That is a nice way to show how far we have all come!! Keep up the Great job, your doing wonderful and should be so proud of yourself!!! Have a Wonderful Weekend! Lynette

Cool, Lynette!!! I recently realized I had stopped carrying my dog around with me everywhere I went. She is an 85 pound collie . . . Amazing, isn't it?

Amazing Jezia!! What a Great way to look at our progress!! Keep up The GREAT work!! Have A Terrific Weekend!! Lynette

Wow is right! I'll have to ask my nieces what they weigh so I can get a better visual! Christina S

So I asked my nieces....I've lost the equivilent of the oldest one and the youngest one combined! I think I've lost what my sister weighs!! Amazing! How did we ever do it? I can't imagine carrying those people around all day every day! Christina S

WOW Christina That is GREAT!!! It is hard to imagine carrying teens and adults around but that is what we were doing and it feels so GREAT to think that we shed a whole person and we won't be carrying that kind of weight around anymore. How did we ever do it is right!! Hard to believe, but it shows that we all are a success and we have all come a LONG way!!!! Way to go and keep up the Great work!!! Have a Wonderful weekend!! Lynette
