I am a very very very modest person when it comes to dressing myself. Until recently, I ONLY wore full length skirts, kept my hair covered, wore mostly long sleeves, etc. It has very little to do with weight, and a whole lot to do with the fact that I believe that my body is for my husband's eyes only. HOWEVER, it is his wish that i dress more modern, and I am making a real huge effort.

I've lost 25 pounds, and oh boy, am I getting a LOT of comments lately. It took me a while to see it...

Before - 203.6

Halfway - About 189?

Saturday Night - 178 ( and my first time in a no sleeves dress in more than 3 years )

And, since I've been on crutches for the last six weeks, a self indulgent arm shot

    You look marvelous! It's amazing what a difference 25 pounds can make!
    I also believe that my body belongs to my husband, but he is the same way - he likes me wearing clothes that are appealing and flattering. (Honestly, II'd probably live in jeans and T-shirts if it were my way). So, for him, I wear the clothes he likes, and I enjoy knowing he appreciates the way Ilook.

    I've had the pink streak for a darned long time already :-) I just always kept it covered!

    And thanks for the compliments. It took me an hour to work the courage up to post pics.

    Amazing change! You look beautiful and happier. Our men love us as we are, but they also like to show us off a bit. You chose a very nice dress, flattering but still modest. I bet he was so proud to have you on his arm.

    You are looking great, the best thing about crutches is the all day arm workout. I know I was on them for 3 months.
    Keep it up, you are doing great.
