Topic: My latest WOW Moment
Hi I had my latest WOW moment on My 12th wedding anniversary when I got out of the car and my son (who I hadn't seen for almost 2 years) saw me...I saw him right after my lapband surgery then he moved away. He looked at me and then did the 2nd glance and then yelled Holy F^*(^*( ****  I did not recognize my own mother...You look wonderful...He asked how much I have lost and Proudly I said 199 lbs    I even walked 8 miles in the woods at a Boys Camp in Alpine, NJ were he is a camp ranger. I love my new life...

You sounds like you had a GREAT day too! It's all of the little things...getting in a truck, fitting in a chair, feeling a new bone, that mean so much!  :-)

Yes Renee - the scales could be up from the walking. It may have made you retain some fluids.

I had a great day visiting friends and co-workers. One of the guys at work gave me a big hug and said "I could see the difference when you walked up, but you know what - I could FEEL the difference. My arms fit better around you."  I knew that hug felt different.  Cool.

I got a beautiful china cabinet from one of them for my mother. No cost except to go pick it up. Drove my brother's huge truck too. I was never able to get into those big trucks that have the step on the side and a handle to pull yourself up on. I was able to get in quite easily!  Amazing.

I will be adding new pictures of myself to my photos in a few minutes. I can't see the changes in me unless the photos are side by side.  

Another great day down - many more to follow.

Good Morning!

I am up and ready for another big and busy day.  The scales were up this morning...please tell me it was from the 3+ hours walking?  Please!!!!  LOL!

I am OK but sore.   My left arm where my purse was and my right foot.  I REALLY need good shoes!  Any ideas?

Off to a book sale at 12 and then to a meeting at 3.  Looking forward to coming home and crashing after!  :-)

Hope everyone has a SUPER day!
