WOW!!!!!!!!!!! 

SW 316 lbs (which was also my all time high) I was feeling out of control and depressed with my weight.  I had all these great things going for me.... but couldn't even appreciate them I was sooo unhappy with myself.

CW 205 lbs and loving every minute of it!!!! 

Here is just a small list of Wow's that I can think of right now:
 - I sit with my legs crossed alllll the time and feel so lady like.
 - Obessed with shopping in the "normal" size section - I have been plus sized since I was 6 years old... clothes have never fit the way they were suppose to.  I am wearing a 14/16 pant and XL shirt :)
 - I have lost a total of 52 inches!!!! 10 of those in my waist and 12 of those around my hips!
 - For the first time in a long time... I am excited for summer- bathing suits, shorts and only sweating because its hot! I have been hiding in capri pants and cover ups for too long!

#1 Wow... the AMAZING AMAZING people I have met throughout this process! I think I need a support group for pretty much every aspect of my lift now :) Soooo lucky to have such great people to share this journey with.
