Warning - funky pics! Almost in my 1st goal Item

messyhare

I have a coat that I've never been able to wear. NEVER. I only have it because I had high hopes of someday fitting it. When I started myfitnesspal in September, I made the goal that I would be wearing it before winter was over.

The first funky picture is when I put it on in September to see how far away I was from wearing it. As you can see, I was PRETTY far!! It didn't even come close to covering me. I'm wearing gross painting shirt too - can't believe I'm even posting that picture...

The 2nd picture was after I had lost close to 20 lbs. My son was ready to kill me because I really wanted to show that I could snap it closed. The problem was, as soon as I got them snapped and took one little breath, off they all would pop. SO that funky picture took about 10 minutes to take!!

The last picture is yesterday. I can get all the snaps close but the one at my tummy and they stay closed! I would NEVER in a million years wear that coat now BUT I will be wearing it by the end of this winter!

I'm so excited that I have come this close to my first goal! Can't wait now for goal number two which is a bathing suit in a size 14 for my Maui trip in April. There shall be no postings of those goal pics...

sweet!! I should have done that with my goal dress!!! I purchased a dress 1 size smaller than what I knew I'd fit it.

wow way to go. You'll be wearing that coat soon and you may want to lower the size of the swim suit at the rate you're going. Nice job out of you!

Oh my gosh! I have a coat like that. Well, it doesn't look like that it's a sports coat. I bought it because I couldn't pass up the 75% off and it was exactly what I wanted just not in my size. I thought....I'll lose enough weight to get into it.....that was three years ago. You should be so proud of all the work you've done, your going to be in that coat before to long. I will be into mine too! I started MFP and TOPS November first.
