Hey! Just wanted to post some progress pics. I'm pretty proud of what I've accomplished so far!

These pics are of the day I tried on and ordered my wedding dress (mid-August) and the day my actual dress came in (late December). I was about 30 lbs down on the dot at that point. Also, keep in mind that the sample dress (before pic) is a size smaller than my actual dress, so the "after" dress is that much more enormous! Alterations won't begin until April/May, at which point I'm pretty confident I'll have another 20+ lbs gone. That poor dress is going to be torn apart and shrunk down like crazy!

    I wonder why the lace overlay is going in opposite directions in the first two pictures?

    This! Lol thanks :)

    By the way I'm not wearing either of the sashes in the pics. Maybe none at all! Haven't decided yet.

    You look great---and so pretty and happy!

    (I think ditching the sash is a good idea, BTW, but I also don't know you and don't get a vote. ;) )

    Oooooooooh, you're dress is so pretty! And you're looking so great in it, congrats on everything! Stay strong and you can get the rest of the weight off :)

    Edited to add: (I agree with the other poster that we on MFP don't get a vote but I like the sash!)

    It's going the opposite way because someone took the first pic and she took a self pic in the mirror. :)

    You look beautiful! Congrats!
