Body Part Appreciation Day/Wow Moments

Here it is... ready for you to post! We want to hear your favorite body part and also any wow moments that you may have... Mine right now is nothing. I am disgusted. My scales won't move in 2 mos it seems but I have lost 2 inches in my tummy, and a few other areas. argh!

I would have to say as part of body part appreciation. I appreciate a smile. anybody's smile. When you are having a bad day someone's smile can completely turn things around. Don;t really have any wows that I can think of... : O (

My body part(s): My hips and thighs! They are really toning up from all the exercise I'm doing...I love it!

Body part? I am appreciating my tummy right now. Granted, it's not flat. But, this morning in the shower, I looked down and it was not sticking out past my boobs! My wow moment...I was driving on the interstate the other afternoon and caught a glimpse of a vehicle keeping pace with my car on the right side. It was a guy in a pickup truck checking out my short skirt with the slit up the front. I am very careful how I sit when I'm wearing short skirts. But when you're driving, you can't be as careful. I told my husband about it and he said he didn't blame the guy cause I was "hot"!! He did ask me how it made me feel. I told him part of me was flattered and part of me was thinking "what a perv"! I don't mind getting an admiring glance. Shoot, I notice attractive men and women. But to match speeds so you can drive down the road staring into someone's car?!

Hey Susan! It was nice when my stomach got small enough that I could look at my feet without bending over so I understand what you mean! I DO NOT like it when men/"boys" look at me. I know I am so weird. I did not like it when I was bigger (although they weren't looking that much then) and I do not like it now. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I do not know why I am weird like that. When I dress up or try to look nice, I do it so I can feel good for myself and not so men would look at me so it just ruins it for me if I get staired at or something because of it making me feel uncomfortable. I guess it is because I have been with my husband for so long (10 years - since I was 18) that it just isn't appealing to me. I wonder if I will ever get out of that stage and appreciate it when a man looks at me. Who Knows! Misty

Hey Melinda! I do not know that I really have a body part to appreciate this week. I did have a small WOW moment though. I went shopping yesterday for the first time in a little while and I dropped one size. I am now in a size 12 but the WOW moment is that I am in a size L for my shirts. Thats right - no X for me anymore - just a L. Whooo Hooo. Don't get discouraged about your weight loss. I was stalled for about two months too but starting losing agian and you will too. You lost so much so quickly and you have gotten to a great size that your body is just trying to slow down. Keep it up and you will get it to start moving agian. You said you lost inches and that is great! Misty

Melinda, To me you don't look like you have anything more to loose. I think you look great. Ellen

Hi Melinda, my body part is no stomach. I am flat from the breasts (they're flat too) to the pubic area. My wow moment was this morning. For a year I have had this really nice pair of dressy shorts, the kind with the pressed pleat in the legs, belt, etc. They are a size 8 and don't stretch, I lack 6" of zipping them up. This morning before leaving for the emergency room I tried them on and they zipped right up, just can wear the belt or fasten the hook and eye. Staples and tubes come out tomorrow. I had to be taken to the ER this morning as I was too weak and dizzy from blood loss. I am pouring thru 4 pads, 2 vertico and 2 hortizonal and soaked two pairs of shorts within an hour. So feet are up and I am only allowed to go to the bathroom for the rest of the day. Blood levels dropped just a little but not enough for blood transfusion. But even just sitting here I am that dizzy. I took a dizzy lizzy pill but it's making me loopy right now. I love each wow moment and yes ladies and gents you can still have them at 15 months out. Total weight loss to date is 179 lbs many sizes smaller and still losing. I wi**** would stop or taper off some. The wind keeeps blowing me around. Reminds me of being 102 in the Navy and wondering how to I salute when it's all I could do was to keep my hand on a rail and hold my hat on with the other hand. I hate decisions. They bore me. Love ya, gonna call Annerenee right now. Kathy

What a sweetie! He sounds like the strong, silent type my mother warned me about.

Wow, Beth. That is the first time I ever looked at your profile. You are so pretty. Congratulations on losing 182 lbs... its funny how you see someone's avatar and take for granted that they are so pretty and slim... then something (like your post tonight) draws attention, "Oh yeah... she had surgery too!" and peeks my curiosity to look at the profile! I think you should post more, you always have great stuff to say.
