Hi. Just another little story to maybe help motivate somebody. I never thought I could do it, and I know my husband didn't either. The picture above is me in my wedding dress on our 23rd anniversary, which was on July 27.

    You look beautiful! It must feel nice to fit into it again.

    That is a wonderful success story!

    Did your husband get the hint and remember it was your anniversary?

    Well, I don't know if he remembered or not before he saw me in the dress, but when he saw me he went and put on all the stuff he wore at our wedding, and we took pictures outside. I even had my hat and basket of flowers that I carried.

    Congrats! Great success story!

    Once I reach my goal weight my wedding dress will be huge since I apparently wasn't motivated enough to lose weight before I got married :(

    That is so sweet! Such a beautiful picture! You have absolutely beautiful long red hair, too! I LOVE it! What I wouldn't give for mine to be like that naturally! Congrats on this milestone!

    Congratulations, what a great NSV! You look great!

    For me my goal is to never fit into my wedding dress again, since I got married around my highest weight ever!

    Rather a bummer for me, too, but my hair is not naturally Red. Twice in my life I dyed it Red to see what I would look like with Red hair. I loved it, but too hard to keep up, and too hard on the hair. My hair is naturally Blond. Thanks anyway, though!

    Congrats on your weight loss. I would love to be able to fit in my wedding dress but I don't think that will happen. When we got married 34 years ago I weighed 120lbs and wore a size 10 and my husband says I was to skinny back then. But it still would be nice to at least be close to the size.
