Mini Victory!!

I have tried 3 times to post this with pictures but it is not working and I am getting uber frustrated that I can't just delete this entire post but since I can't do that here it goes:

In 2004 I got a special dress to wear in Hawaii before my now husband deployed to Iraq. Over the years I eventually gained so much weight that I was unable to it into the dress. Back in September I was brave enough to try on the dress and it fit! Not well enough to be worn out in public but it fit! In January it fit better and last night I actually wore it on a date with my husband to Olive Garden! So, picture posting issues not withstanding this is by far the best victory I have had in my journey to date!

FINALLY!!

In Hawaii the dress looked like this:


Then, I started looking like this:


In September this:


In January this:


And Last night THIS!

I am proud to tell everyone that the lovely lady that wrote this topic is my cousin:) She is also the reason I started my journey on here last September. I saw what she was accomplishing and knew that I could do it with her help....so I joined MFP. To date, with her help (and many others on here), I have lost 23 lbs and I owe it all to her. She is a beautiful lady inside AND out and I am proud to call her family! Nikki, you look great and I can't wait to see the next set of pics!
