Today to celebrate the beautiful 70 degree weather here in Nebraska I went dress shopping. Last time I bought a dressy spring outfit I was still shopping at Layne Bryant for my 20-22W skirts and 2X tops.. today I rejoiced when I bought dresses from forever 21.. this was the first time I've shopped there. I figured I'd share the comparison for you all because my "before" picture was actually taken this month of last year and I just said goodbye to the 140s and hello to the 130s yesterday. I love you all here.. this site has been a life saver. The support and motivation has kept me going strong and I enjoy watching you all strive to better your lives as well! Thanks for reading and supporting me along the way! ☻

SW: 255lbs

    Its great to see the physical changes that have taken place in your body but the most important part is the transformation in your mind to make up your mind, and the heart change for yourself and to inspire others that they can also become an over comer, God speed on your next adventure

    And I can't help but notice you've gone from flipflops to heels! Probably waaaay more comfortable at your current weight. You look amazing. Congratulations.

    Congratulations, it inspires me that one year from now I could do the same. I truly miss shopping at Forever 21 and H&M and can't wait to shop there again next year when I visit home :)

    Wow! I'm so happy for you! The dress looks beautiful on you. I love the way the dress shows-off the nice tone in your arms and legs. You've obviously worked hard. Congratulations!

    Thanks! & yes.. oddly enough these heels are MEGA comfy! Don't think I would have attempted them at my highest.. my feet hurt all the time even wearing regular shoes back then from carrying all the weight! :)
