My wow moment.

I have been home from the hospital for 1 week tomorrow, I lost 20 lbs before surgery and have lost 9 since. Ok here is the WOW...........I asked my DH to show me what 29 lbs looked like. He brought out his bar-bells, equalling 30 lbs. It was so heavy, I was shocked beyound belief. I walked today and noticed that my knees with arthritis didn't hurt as bad. NO DARN WONDER..... go hold 30 lbs. Wonder what my knees will feel like with 100 lbs. off. I might float away.

Hi Margie That's awesome! Hugs, Mo

Margie, love your WOW moment, and so happy that the pain in your knees has subsided some. Keep up the good work! I won't be able to make the meeting this month, but will in November. Can't wait to see how you newbees are doing. My thoughts are with both of you. TraciL

Margie that is great. I know how you feel when I was down 50 pounds my stepdad made me a duffle bag full of stuff that equaled to 50 pounds and I was shocked beyond belief. So good for your knees. I have noticed lately that my back doesnt hurt when I stand for a period of time. Well take care and see you next week Kelly

Margie - Yay for you! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? When I lost 130 pounds, I realized that that was the weight of my niece. Now, I couldn't pick her up, so how in the world did I carry all that extra weight???? It's amazing how this can put things into perspective for you! Keep up the great work, Tia

Hi Margie. Yep it is amazing what 30 lbs feels like when it's not a part of our bodies. Your knees will feel great with 100 lbs less!! Congratulations! You are doing great. Hugs, Robin

LOL. I have lost 145 lbs. My 17 year old daughter weighs 140 lbs. I picked her up piggy-back recently and could barely move.

Margie, How awesome is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your surgery. I am new and I am waiting to here if my insurance will approve the surgery. I am in awe how all of you wonderful ladies have so much courage. Please rub off some of that courage this way please! Take care and best wishes to you. Cira

It's a good feeling, isn't it ! Congradulations !!! Nadine O.
