Wow! Moment...my first real one.

This weekend we had my SO's kids for the first time in a month.  The last time the kids saw me was 3 days after surgery.  Needless to say I was cranky, sore and not that much fun to be around.

Friday night, he walks in the house with them after getting home.  The kids put their stuff in their bedrooms, then come in and sit down.  I'm sprawled out in the recliner relaxing after a particularly nasty Friday.

After about a half an hour, we decided to head to Jason's Deli for dinner.  I stand up for the first time since the kids come in and Melanie (the cynical 15 year old) looks at me and says "Jenn, OH MY GOD you have lost a TON of weight!  You look great!"

Of course clothes were starting to fit a little different and I can sort of see it in my face but since I see myself every day I just don't see the HUGE change...even in pictures yet.  It felt great

Just had to share.

Congratulations!  That is so great when people start noticing your loss.  I know that makes you feel good.

Good for you! This is only the beginning of many more to come!

WooHoo Jenn!  I know that it made you feel great, esp coming from the "cynical 15yo." It'll only get better and better as the next few months fly by!  Just wait!!!!!

Congrats and ...Hugs, Mari

That wonderful ride has just begun.  We are here to share with.  And please, please, do not fret at the first stall.  They happen.  And they pass.  You will do just fine.

Congrats! Its hard to really feel the change sometimes even over a year later, but keep those before pic's cause they can really help when thats happening.  Our brains can be so evil lol.

somehow when our kids (or claimed kids) notice it makes the biggest wow.  when my teen noticed I was smaller and really commented on it - it was huge so we know where you are coming from

thanks for sharing - you brought a smile to my face today

Jenn, I understand and congrats!!!

I had the recent experience of seeing my ex-mother in law...  Hadn't seen her in about 1 1/2 years, which was about 100+ lbs. ago!    What made it funny to me was how excited she was at my 'success' and gushed and gushed about it, right in front of her very overweight son (my ex)....  I felt kind of bad later, but at the time it was funny as hell...

So, enjoy those moments as they flow your way - they are few and sometimes far between but so totally worth it when they happen!

Congrats and keep up the hard work!

Way to go Jenn!!! That is great!!! I am truly happy for you!! Keep up the good work!!!
It's "WOW" moments like that, that give you some real motivation!!!
Fantastic job!!

Blessings,
