Wedding Dress Before/After - 30 lb Loss!

edited September 28 in Success Stories
I recently got married on May 28, 2011 at 175 pounds. When I bought my wedding dress in September 2010, I weighed 205 pounds. I bought the sample dress from the store, so the three pictures below are of me in literally the exact same dress.

The top left picture is me the day I bought the dress. In the top right picture, the dress has been taken in 4 inches. It was still a little bit big, so the seamstress took it in an additional 1.5" before my wedding (bottom picture).

I fully credit the MFP process and support system for my loss... No magic tricks. Just consistent logging of my food and a lot of time at the gym. :smile:

(please excuse the horrible lighting in pretty much all the pictures!!)
