I can fit in a 16 now!! I was a size 28 11 months ago.
Yesterday I ran in to my step dad in the store and he walked right past me! I see him a few times a month. but I had to tap him on the back after he walked past me and said um hi dad! He was shocked.....He said I lost so much weight he didn't know it was me....LOL what a dork!

Holly,
I have been trying to think of a way that your step dad could walk past your beautiful face and not recognize you....I can't imagine. At the least he should have noticed how incredibly lovely you are, and your graceful presence. He's not paying attention!

My wow moment... I have a MUSCLE!  And I think those really hard things I can feel in my hip area when I lay down on the bed and everything slips down to settle on the mattress... I think those might be BONES!!!!

Although I do like looking at mine, I must admit there certainly are many more to admire at my gym.  And you guys though I just liked working out...sheesh!
One of the trainers at the gym did called me "The increadable shrinking woman" this week, but I think he was just trying to be nice. He also bought me a cup of coffee later when I ran into him. (Defaf, skim milk, three splenda)

I have a WOW moment for Rain...she fit in pants that were labeled size 4!!! I know you couldn't zip them up all the way but thats besides the point, they fit over the hips and derriere!!
I took home the size 13 jeans and they fit!!! Also the medium tight shirts Shany gave me fit like a glove, a very snug glove but it made my "girls" look great!!!
My 11 yr old son even said all the clothes looked really good on me, even if he was trying to get Brownie points!!

My latest wow moment was just yesterday. I bumped into someone i'd not seen for awhile and after he'd done the usual double take etc, he said to me, "it's not just the weight loss, you've got a sparkle in your eyes and my god you look 15 years younger!"
I was beaming all day after that one.

I was out shopping with my mom last weekend and when we were on the sheet isle talking about Jersey knit sheets some lady piped in to give her opinion about them and then asked if i was buying some to put in my dorm room. When i gave her a puzzled look she asked if i was starting college this year. !!! I was thrilled for the rest of the day that someone thought i looked that young but figured it was a fluke. Then yesterday as i was at Target buying Lost (season 2 woot!) the cashier lady printed out the reciept and started to tell me about the little take-a-quiz-win-a-prize thingie on the bottom of the reciept but then stopped about 3 seconds in and said "Oh wait.... are you 18?" LOL! Appearantly i really DO look younger. WOOT!
Oh and yesterday when i put on my "skinny jeans" and one of my husbands xl t-shirts my husband did a double take and said "Wow.... you really have lost weight havent you?" *grin* Like the man doesnt see me naked every dang day lol.
