My Latest WOW moment!

Thanks Christy.... I can't to post that my size 10's are too big too.... I can't imagine it, but I hope to see it happen.... LOL.... Shawn M.

You go girl! Your son is going to be so surprised at how small you have gotten while he was away. And by the way, I hope that dress you got is very cool and comfortable. The graduation ceremonies at Ft. Jackson are usually outside and you park in a big field (which was un-mowed for us) My son graduated in Aug and it was about 105 degrees. I was over 300 lbs , pregnant and MISERABLE when Mat graduated! I know you will be much better off now that the weight is GONE. Congrats! Valorie

Well, my size hasn't changed that much since he left a few weeks ago, but I did get a nice lightweight sun dress for the ceremony, so I think I should be cool enough. I am so glad the weight is gone because I can't even imagine being in that heat at over 300 pounds... ugghhh... Now, my other son s flying in from Texas today... woohooo.. I haven't seen him since Christmas so he will be surprised.... He has seen pictures but that just isn't the same as real life.... I can't wait to see him.. I leave in about an hour for the airport to go pick him up.... I only get a few weeks with him and then he heads back to his dad's until Christmas time again.... It is so hard living so far away from my son.... we manage though... I can't wait to go and pick him up.... Shawn M.

Good for you these WOW moments are so fabulous. I can't even remember being as small as I am now and that I could go smaller. Deb

Thanks so much Deb.... It does feel fabulous.... I can remember being this size, but it is a very distant memory... I was only 13 years old the last time I was this size... and of course I thought I was sooooooo FAT then.... little did I know how big I would actually get...... I am just glad I did something about it when I did and didn't wait any longer.... Life is so good now..... Shawn M.

I want to see pics of you in your new size 10's!!! I bet you are SO stoked! Congratulations!!!

Thanks Kim!!! I will be adding pics to my website soon.... I just wish the scale would move again..... I went down one more size, but the numbers just aren't moving.... I am being very diligent with my food today and watching everything I eat... I know I could have been at the size 10 a while ago and maybe even smaller if I didn't munch so many times a day on foods that I really shouldn't be eating.... So I am back to basics today and really making sure to stay out of the s/f cookies, the baked doritos, the breads and the carbs in general.... I know I can do it... I did it for the first 5 months, but then I slowly have added the carbs back, I need to cut it out again and eat the way I should be doing... It is just so hard with the kids home all day and out of school for the summer, they snack and I want to snack... Sorry for such a long response... I just needed to get that off my chest.... Thanks again and I will post as soon as I get new pics up.... Shawn M.

If you lose 40 lbs there will be nothing left of you! Size 10 is a great size - I'd probably consider being an 8 and up your goal. I wanted to be an 8-10 and I am there now and feel pretty good about it. I will probably try to lose about 4 more lbs and then try to maintain it. I don't want to be all skin and bones. I have loose skin that I don't like but it's covered under clothing and people say I look like a teenager! I'll take that as a compliment any day!

If you saw me you would see that I can stand to lose another 30 - 40 pounds... I don't think it will make me too thin... but I will know as I get there.. I very well may up my goal, but we will see... I keep changing between 150 - 160... I would be happy at 160, but would love to hit 150... I think that would put me at either a size 8 or a 6... I can't imagine being smaller than a 10, but I want it sooooo bad now.... Well, thanks.. I gotta go get ready to go to the airport and pick up my 16 year old son... he is flying in from his dad's in Texas today... I can't wait to see him.... Shawn M.
