Wedding dress success!!!

wocm15

So I joined MFP as a tool to lose weight for both my health and my upcoming wedding! I had gone dress shopping when I first got engaged and wasn't too happy with the way I looked and resolved to lose weight so I could fit into my dress. Well, 4 months later and I've lost 27 lbs!!! My goal is 34 lbs lost, but since I was home visiting my family over the holiday, I went dress shopping with my mom again, and this time the results were much better! Before, I had to stuff myself into a size 14 and couldn't even zip it up all the way. Now I can fit into a size 10 (without any back cleavage! :laugh: )!!!! I found a beautiful dress, and hopefully I can lose those last 7 pounds and tone up. :drinker: Here are pics of my first dress shopping result and my last one!!! Hope the pics work...


Stuffed like a sausage... :ohwell:


Couldn't even zip up the back... and btw that shiner on my arm is from a horse kick, not an abusive boyfriend...:laugh:


Trying on my dress after losing weight! It fit perfectly! My mom was tearing up...


Success! No back fat rolls, and it zipped up!

Why don't you upload them to your profile page? I'd love to see them.

wocm15

ugh... so I posted them and now it's saying that I've deleted or moved them (which as far as I know I haven't...) so I'm going to try to upload them to my profile page... bummer. If anyone has any helpful hints about posting to here please let me know!

Try again. The IMG and /IMG have to be img and /img.

Congratulations!!! That's so exciting! I'm sure you'll be able to lose the weight! Just don't let the stress of planning the wedding get to you!

I think you have to remove the spaces before and after "dress" in your PhotoBucket account because photo links here just gag on spaces.

not sure why it is not working now
