What was your WOW moment in the last week? Not necessarily concerning weight loss.

I had a couple of WOW moments last week. The best one, though, was when I met with my NUT. She told me that if I wanted to lose another 11 pounds, that would be okay, but I'm also okay right where I am, so if I don't lose anything else, I'm good. I have never been able to say that I don't have to lose weight in my life!!!!! Okay, so I have to tell you another one: That same day, I had an appointment with the exercise physiologist. He referred to my stomach as being "flat!"

Well, I don't know if this is considered a WOW moment or not, but I decided to take it as a compliment. I was grocery shopping, at the checkout, when an older gentleman ahead of me, started chatting away with me. If he had been younger, I could have sworn that he was flirting with me. I turned around and asked the older gentleman behind me if he wanted to go ahead of me, because he only had a couple of items and he said, "No thanks, I'm in no hurry and besides, I like the view from here." I told him thanks. When I told my husband about this when I got home, he said, "What have I been telling you". (He's always telling me how nice I look.) Anyways, I thought it was pretty nice. Jules

I do not think that I had a wow moment this past week. They get fewer and farther between. Guess I am not really seeing anyone who I have not seen in awhile. But it is ok, I am trying to learn that it doesn't always have to be about me. Sally

No WOW moments for me last week.

biggest for me was going to the swimming pool and realising i didnt have to "hide" myself behind a towel or be embarassed in a swimsuit. Im not at goal yet but im in a 14 not a 30 anymore and felt confident out in public in a swimsuit for the first time in forever it seems TErri

I wore a bikini top and some shorts at Noah's Ark Waterpark and I didn't feel embarrassed!

Well, this is not a real "WOW" moment but then again....I got my haircut! I have been wearing a "BOB" which is pretty straight but since I lost so much hair last year, it was a struggle to continue styling my hair like that. But my new hair came in and WOW! Was it CURLY!!!!!!! I really struggled to straighten it each day but was not too successful. Last week, I got brave and changed my hairstyle and now I let the curls just come natural!!!! It is totally different but so much healthier looking! It's cute. I miss the bob cut, though. But when you are given lemons, you make lemonade.

I had to go clothes shopping today, because I was down to like 1 pair of capris that fit me, and I have gone from a size 38 bottoms (if I was lucky and they fit me) to a 26 or 28 depending on the style!!! Woohoo!! I know a lot of you started out at the size I am now, but I haven't been in a size 26 since before I had my son, and he's 14!!!! So, WOW!! I'll take that!! I also bought my first sexy bra in about 20 years.

Went on vacation and only gained one pound and fit on the rides at Hershey Park..can't remember the last time that happened.. oh and yeah..I am working on getting rid of that pound and then some!
