Two BIG WOWS!!!

I had my 3 month follow up this morning - got on the scale and was shocked that I am below 300 pounds! That was a huge shock, since my scale is completely different. I just kept saying "this can't be right" over and over again. Then, when they led me into the room to wait for the Dr. I just started to cry - it was like this huge weight was lifted from my shoulders, and not just the physical weight. I haven't been under 300 for about 10 years! My Dr. walks in and just takes my hands and sat with me for a while - he is so unbelievably compassionate and kind, I have been so fortunate to have him as a dr. For my second WOW - I am no longer in the category of SMO. I never thought this day would happen! I'm still a little weepy - got emotional as I was writing this. It's a bit overwhelming at the moment, but I'm just thrilled.

Congratulations PJ!!!!! Thats an amazing milestone!!!!! Scott

I am so happy for you. I can't wait for that day to come for me. I haven't been under 300 pounds since i was 22 years old. That will be a wonderful day. Keep up the good work and congrads. Lorraine

Congratulations PJ!!!! What an exciting time in your life ... and just one of the many to come! Jan

I know exactly how you feel... Congrats enjoy the feeling.. and remember it gets better and better. This will be a great holiday for all of us. Great Job Lynn

You stick figure, you! Way to go! I need to get down to 300 to leave the SMO category, so I've got about 38 lbs to go to get there. I think the last time I weighed under 300 lbs was when I lived in Hawaii the first time (over 20 yrs ago). Bet it feels pretty darned good! I'm really happy for you! Kix

Hey PJ, Aint it great to be going in territory we havent been in years? It is such an amazing feeling and you are so right. Sometimes tears is about the only thing to describe the feelings... So you just keep on going girl and just wait... You will have so many new WOWS you will have to write them down to keep up with all of them... Hugs Marge

Oh PJ how awesome! I can't imagine the thrill you had. Write it down in your journal. I heard a speaker at an OH convention who said that her book of WOW's help get her through temptations and plateaus on the scale. Way to go! Keep up the good work! Karen

(((((Hugs))))) Sometimes it is an emotional roller coaster. My brother informed me he cannot remember me ever being this thin. And he is 35 yrs old. And I still have 60 pds to lose to get to goal. Can you imagine what they are all going to think when I reach goal.
