Two WOW moments!!!

First:  a couple weekends ago, my parents came through town from their trip out west.  They hadn't seen me since the week of my surgery.  They were very surprised at how I looked (and you guys will be too, tomorrow ..I've done the WLS haircut) lol.  My mom asked what size I was in and to be honest I had no idea.  I have not bought any new clothes and was just making do with what I had.  I was wearing a size 18 jeans and they were baggy.  So later that week I went to the store and thought, well let's just see where we are!  I was so surprised -I fit into a misses 16!!!!  It was amazing, so I bought two pair.  I didn't find any tops that I liked that fit well.  I found one that was snug but made me look leaner, but the sleeves were way too short and I'm really not liking my upper arms right now!  That's next on the list. Second:  I am now in ONEDERLAND!!!!  The last time I weighed less than 200 was 1996.  Getting under 200 was a huge goal for me, as I'm sure it is/was for a lot of you.  I had hit a slow down, so it felt like forever getting here.  But at least it's been somewhat steady. Anyway, that's it for now.  I'm sorry I haven't been posting more faithfully, but "life", you know!  I am planning on being at the luncheon tomorrow.  Can't wait to see everyone, as I've missed the last two months.  Toodles~~ P.s. If anyone has size 16 pants or tops (or large), I would be greatful as my selection is becoming quite minimal.

Elena: I'll bet your parents were really surprised to see you!  A few months makes a huge difference!  Congratulations on your accomplishment! See you tomorrow! Freddie

Congratulations! those are a couple of BIG wow's! I look forward to meeting you tomorrow at the luncheon!    ~ Tara
