My *WOW*...But a long way from where I want to be....

HEY JUST WANTED TO STOP AND TELL A LITTLE ABOUT MY WOW MOMENT!!  WELL MY KIDS AND I WERE OUT LOOKING AROUND AND I WAS IN A LOCAL STORE, COULDNT FIND ANYTHING..I LOOKED OVER AT MY 7YR OLD AND SAID, "SISSY I THINK THEY CHANGED ALL THIS AROUND SO MOMMY COULDNT BUY ANY CLOTHES, DONT YOU?" SHE TURNED AROUND AND SAW A SALES CLERK AND SAID, "WHERE CAN MY MOMMY FIND SOME CLOTHES?" THEY LADY SMILED AND SAID, "WELL NOT HERE, THIS IS THE PLUS SIZE  CLOTHES AND YOUR MOMMY DONT NEED TO BE IN THIS SECTION!" I WAS SO EXCITED !!  FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS NO ONE HAS SAID I DIDNT NEED TO BUY PLUS SIZED CLOTHES!!!  THAT FELT REALLY GOOD !! 

Now on the other hand I feel like I have stopped losing! I have been at the same weight for almost 3 weeks..and I really want to get to goal!! I am 4 months out now and weigh 182 and even though thats good (52-53 lbs gone) I feel like I have come to a slowing that is almost a stand still, and even though i felt really GOOD when the lady at the store said I didnt need to wear plus!!  I still feel like I should be further along!    I would love to be at the dr. goal (150 lbs.) by my next app. Oct. 8th, anyone that has any suggestion feel free to send them my way!!   I will be more than happy to get all the help I can!!   Because I am a long way from I would like to be,  thanks for listening!!  :)

Get moving and make sure you are eating enough. This is a major issue for me. It seems when I feel like I am eating like a pig I drop 3 -4 pounds in a week, but when I watch what I eat and stay away from everything I stall. and stall..... Working out or just moving is probably the one thing we can control. I am now up to 65 minutes on the glider at the gym. This is too exciting for me since I couldn't do it for 5 minutes a year ago! Of course burning the extra 450 calories is almost as exciting! I started at 370. Today I am at 202....heading for a goal of 170

great WOW moment, inspiring, thanks for posting

Thats awesome!!!! Thats very inspiring to me!! :) I haven't been able to wear clothes that weren't plus size for awhile now... and it feels great to wear something w/out an X in the front of it. lol. I had my wow moment last night when I tried on a pair of capris that I haven't been able to wear.. .they're a 16 and they're not stretchy.. and they fit!!! They're a little bit snug around my butt, but I am just excited about getting them on!!! :) Keep up the good work girl!!!! YOu're doing great!!!!!

YEAH!!!     Glad to hear that !!    I love it when we WL peeps have a exciting happening!!   It means so much, and sometimes no one understands!!   But RAISE the ROOF GIRL! WHOO WHOO!!     That is a great feeling wwhen your sizes start to fit without the extra stretch!!!        we'll keep chuggin along and we will get there!!!    :)
