My 1st WOW moment....

It finally happened!! :embaressed_smile: I had a WOW moment. My clothes are getting too big so last night I was trying to find something to wear to church today. In going through my closet I ran across two brand new outfits that I order for Easter two or three years ago. I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted so I ordered both! When they arrived they were too little and have hung there ever since. I was doubtful that I could wear them but decided to try them on to see if I was even close. Certainly did not want to skip by them and to my amazement they fit!!!! I could not be happier!! Now I just have to hem the pants and sleeves and I have two great outfits to wear. One is really spring/summer but I am going to wear it at least once!! LOL My DH is so proud of me! I also found a suit that had gotten two tight and it was loose! Down 2 sizes Yipeeeeeeee!!!!!! I feel like singing "I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!!" :cursing:

:thumbup:CONGRATULATIONS !!!! :embaressed_smile:

:thumbup:THIS IS THE 1ST OF MANY WOW MOMENTS :cursing:

I have gone from 18/20 pants 22/24 tops to 6 or 4 pants and Medium tops..

I am still in awe everytime I go shopping:biggrin:

Way to go VW!! I loved looking at clothes saying no way will this fit and then it does, I wanted to walk around with the tag showing saying look look! , congrats!

Hehehe!! Isn´t it such an amazing feeling! I´m also down at least two sizes. I love that I bought some jeans a few months ago and I couldn´t even get the zip up. Now they´re just about hanging off my a$$.

I (heart) my band too. :-))

That is just fabulous! Congratulations!! Now just make sure you get rid of those bigger clothes - box them up, and get them out of your closet. You are going to need room for all the new stuff!

Thanks for sharing! I'm getting banded 9/29 and can't wait for WOW moments :rolleyes2: ..... reading your post, helps with the "nerves" that are creeping up. Thanks again! and Congrats!!

I am so excited for you! I can not wait to get there!!

The only thing that I can see/feel now is the fact that one pair of jeans that I hadn't been able to get into for months are now fitting again. I'm up to two pairs of jeans now!!!! :sneaky::thumbup: (I was getting so sick of wearing/washing all the time) but I had refused to buy any more obese jeans!!!

I've got clothes hanging in there now that range from a size 26 down to a 16 that I was into 6 years ago. (We did atkins for a year+)

Again, congratulations!!! :smile2:

Go Vera, Go Vera, Go Vera!!!!

You are doing awesome....and you have a room full of cheerleaders standing behind you!!!
