Hi August Buddies, I just had to post this moment because I know that you will know how I am feeling... I just realized this weekend that when I sit down, my hands fall into my lap instead of resting on my abdomen. I have been able to cross my legs when I sit for about 3 weeks now with comfort and ease, but I never realized how amazed I would feel to rest my hands in my lap instead of my belly. I can't believe I've lost that much weight...It almost makes me cry!! Hope your journey and WOW moments are as thrilling to you as mine are to me! Blessings, Lori 293/219/130

That is wonderful Lori! I find that I cross my legs all the time now. I never was able to even get my foot up to my knee before without grabbing my pant leg. This is a marvelous thing! Lori

YYYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I am so happy for you Lori because I know exactly how you feel. Isn't it a wonderful thing to sit down and have your legs just naturally cross and then rest your hands in your lap. I just about screamed the 1st time I actually realized what had happened. Here's to many more WOW moments.

Lori.... WONDERFUL....JUST WONDERFUL..... isn't great to notice all these things and realize just how great it feels to be able to cross our legs, place our hands on our lap, tie our shoes, put on socks...etc etc etc.... LIFE IS GREAT.... Keep up the great work... Tammy

Isn't it just so . I don't think I have posted a WOW moment. But one of mine was when I sat down in my plastic lawn chair ( you know the one you look at and size up before you sit down hoping that its big enough, and hoping to God that it doesn't break when you sit) well, I sat down, not only did I fit but my hips didn't hang over the side. OMG that was one of the best wow moments I've ever had along with crossing my legs without grabbing my pants leg, like Lori said (I feel you girl). Looking forward to many more WOW moments. Keep up the GOOD work . Toya 284/219/175??

Lori, sounds like a tru WLS WOW... I certainly can relate and am real happy for you. And also of note I used to put my arms on my stomach sometimes just to "cover it up".... as if that helped... Enjoy your journey, hugs, Rita. 255/184/160's

Congrats Lori! It is a great feeling. I cross my legs now all the time and enjoy it immensely. It is the little things that you miss! And then get to appreciate again. Sitting in an airline seat without the lap belt extender is another one! Eileen 337/240/160ish
