I have been waiting for this WOW moment

Before surgery I was so depressed because I could not measure my hips with just 1 60 inch tape measure tape. I had to mark my belly and measure the space inbetween to get it all in. Well this morning I only need to measure once because I measure 60 inches exactly in my hip. I know some people would think that was huge and it really is but guess what it is small for me and I know you guys would appreciate this WOW moment . Thanks for being my SMO family. Jennifer 357/289/175ish 16 weeks out!!!! and 60 inches down total!!!

Hey Jennifer, Great news The loss of inches is awesome!!! I was really glad that I measured myself the night before surgery. When I get feeling a little mad at the scale for not moving...when it is supposed to. I whip out my trusty tape measure and do a little math...and presto-chango!! I am in a much better mood. I am proud of you girl!! HugsGinger

Jennifer, I can so relate to this. Before surgery, I was about 69 inches around my hips and butt and had to buy a quilter's tape measure to have one big enough to go around me. Now, I'm 50 inches! Woohoo! It feels great. I think I'll keep that quilter's tape measure as a reminder! Hang in there and keep up the good work! Lori 384/252.5/168

Hi Jennifer CONGRATULATIONS on your WOW moment!! I'm thrilled for you!! Theresa

Thank you all for the encouragement. even the people who love you will never truly understand those wonderful WOW moments. Lets all keep up the great work!! Jennifer 357/289/175ish

Congratulations Jennifer! I didn't measure myself before surgery for the same reason; the tape just wouldn't reach that far! I had several people bugging me to measure myself and I just kept putting them off. The scale will have to be my only 'measurement'. Congrats again! You go girl! Huggs, Ruth

Congratulations jennifer!!!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!! Sandra a.

Jennifer, From a "need two-tape-measures" person to you ... I'm so happy for you! I understand EXACTLY your happiness. Way To Go!!! I haven't had the tape measure(s) out in a while, guess I need to see if I still need two Myra
