Holy WOW!
Last night at the grocery store I saw an old neighbor who I haven't seen in probably 8 or 9 years, so I said 'Karen?' and she looked up and smiled and said 'Hi - I'm sorry - I don't remember your na......OMG KATHY??!!!' - I said yep, its me! She said I never would have recognized you - how much weight have you lost - you look amazing. Yes, I was going to let her go on and on gushing (I'm a sick person... 
) but she stopped on her own (darn) but we stood there catching up on the missed years. We were great neighbors but sadly they moved and we just lost touch, but hopefully we'll rekindle our friendship - we're planning on a holiday dinner with other neighbors that I do still see from time to time. She hadn't seen me in a long time so didn't realize just how BIG I had gotten because when I told her how much I lost I could tell she didn't believe me - til she saw my 'before' picture.
It made me feel really good, and I really needed something like that because lately I haven't been feeling too 'wowish' - like Lisa's post I have been 'grazing' way too much lately - mostly out of boredom I think - and on the wrong foods (carbs) - so I'm really trying to get back on track and give myself a jump start, especially since I decided to postpone plastics for a while - I really do want to get another 20-30 pounds off.
So just when you think you're discouraged and nobody is noticing anymore, something or someone comes along to brighten your day and motivate you to get back on track!!

Kathy,
Those "out of the blue" wows are the best. And they seem to come just when we need them the most! Some how life works that way. And sometimes these Wow's are reminders to us that we still have to work at it and we can still do it!
Hope this made your day!
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
