    I'm 5'3", but very muscular underneath all my extra padding. I'm sure vanity sizing helps!

    The dress is not anything I'd ever go for, let alone pay a flipping $100 for, that's just nuts. :/

    You look great, though! Congratulations on all your hard work!

    Uh...mean. if you've ever been a size 24 and were scared crapless that trying on something you loved wouldn't fit...and then it was too big??? the feeling that gave her was even bigger than the dress...and I'd pay a heck of alot more than 100.00 to have that feeling...being a size 24 right now myself.

    Fab dress aside, you should write for a living (if you don't already). Very evocative and entertaining. Nice work!

    Excellent story. Fantastic success! And great writing! My favorite parts:
    ...it felt like I was auditioning for the part of exploding sausage...

    ...the loquacious sales lady...

    still excited to see that I could zip it at all!

    My fitness buddy, I am so proud of YOU!!! WOW! You always inspire me and let me know that I am not crazy when I put on a medium t-shirt on yesterday and I could wear it but I am 208 lbs. I thought that this is some type of fluke. A size 10!!! This is great. I have not tried anything lower than a size 14 but on Saturday I purchased a skirt, size 14/16 in Lane Bryant. Tried it on a couple of days ago and it was very loose. I am going to wait until my birthday in September before trying size 12 or even a size 10!!!

    Keep up the great work, it is paying off and thanks for always keeping this grandma on track!!!
