    You look beautiful! :-) How awful for that attendant to say that to you. She has no business being in the customer service field. SO RUDE!

    Beautiful! that's the exact same dress I'm wearing in a wedding next weekend! Unfortunately, I don't have the success story you did. When we tried on dresses in Jan, I needed a 20, but ordered a 16 because I had lost 50 pounds & planned to keep losing. Unfortunately, I didn't lose much more so I just had to exchange my 16 for an 18, but it's better than the 20 I needed in Jan. What a great feeling you must have had going down to a 14! Great job!!! ;-)

    My sister is getting married and the day we went to try on bridesmaids dresses I was crushed. I didnt realize how big I was until then. I was the biggest of all the girls and I became really sad in that dressing room. I ended up ordering a size 16 in the hopes to lose a little weight and fit into it. Eventhough they highly suggested I didnt do so. After getting my butt in gear I fit into the dress and actually exchanged it for a size 14.

    Last month I went in to try on the dress for the alterations department and I could barely squeeze into the 14. I assured the lady that I am losing weight and I will fit into it by the end of September. "You have to lose more than just a couple of pounds," she says in her skeptical voice. Why do all the associates think no one can lose weight?? Anyway, I just tried on the dress and was able to zip it up easily on my own. I danced aroung the house for about 15 minutes. I should have had my HRM on, lol. It is actually too long now that I dont fill it out as much, so now I'll have to go back to alterations to get it hemmed. This totally made my day!

    Ok, time to go back to happy dancing!

    You should go back to the same girl and ask her if she could use some of your fitness & nutrition advice!! I'm a bride right now & I would be so upset if someone told one of my BMs that...esp my sister!

    You look amazing, that dress looks great on you - congrats!!

    ETA: I hope that skeptical saleslady gets to do the hemming on your dress, she needs to see that change can happen!

    Good for you! I suspect, though, that some people feel that they MUST say something.

    I used to really dread school-clothes shopping when I was in grade school because I was so big (and the family member HAD to say something about it while we're IN the store). MFP did not exist then.

    Now that I'm an adult, I go clothes-shopping ALONE. And I'm on MFP.

    That's AWESOME! And don't I see an Eliptical machine in the background...you've obviously used it for more than a dress hanger, great work! Keep it up!

    Wow congratulations - you look amazing! I'm actually in a similar situation myself right now except a bit more tricky than yours.

    When I went to try on my bridesmaid dress, this time last year, I fit perfectly into a size 12, so that's the size they ordered for me.

    About a month ago, I tried it on and it was far far too big. I couldn't exchange it for a 10 because they don't sell that particular style of dress any more, they've stopped production. So I had to get it professionally altered.

    It still fit perfectly 3 weeks ago but the wedding isn't for another month so I'm very worried it will be too big by then. And the problem is, the dress has a particular pattern on the back which would be totally ruined if it was altered any more, so if it doesn't fit on the wedding day I'm screwed!
