    You currently look amazing- can't wait to see your "after" pics.

    BUT- your dress and the victory rolls in your hair for you wedding- super cool! You looked beautiful, then, too!

    (PS- you may need to start taking your cat running with you! :) )

    thanks everyone! You're alI so sweet. <3

    I was 140 in high school and 240 at my heaviest. My husband and I actually eloped in NYC, the "reception" was an after-party a few months later where friends and family were invited.

    It's funny, everyone always jokes that they "let themselves go" after they got married -- my husband and I did the opposite! He and I are both down about 50 lbs since we got married in '09.
