Thank you all for your responses and votes. in helping me pick a dress for the 40th Reunion. It sure got here fast, so LIVE LIFE all you young folks!!! First, I'll remind you where I began. The first photo is June 2012 after I had lost 20 pounds. UGH !

Those I only lost 5 more pounds, I was hitting the weights like crazy, especially since someone thought my arms weren't too great. None of the other dresses fit when I retried them on after the 3 weeks that had gone by! I fit the size 12 !


This is what I wore to the casual event:

The following are pics with the Hubby! We had so much fun!

I swear I owe my success to the friends here that have helped me stay the course. I am NOT DONE YET and want to drop a few more pounds to get into the Healthy Range. Though, I feel pretty good now and will turn 59 in a few months healthier than I have been since my 30's!

    WOW!

    I would NOT have guessed you were 59. I was going to say possibly late 40's! You look great, what an amazing accomplishment!

    Wow, how many other women your age were in as good a shape as you? I'm guessing not many. k

    You look awesome and your husband does too.

    All the best on the rest of your journey to your goal weight.

    I'm so happy for you that you were able to wear the dress that you really loved the most (and most of the rest of us did too, lol). It looks like the dress was made for you, instead of you changing yourself to fit the dress. But you really did some amazing work. You look strong and fit and feminine and lovely. The dress looks great on you, and your life looks great on you.

    And yes, it was Dress #5--my favorite and the one that was too small! 3 more hard weeks of hitting the gym and pumping like a dude made more changes in the body that I expected. The weight hardly went down---but the dress went ON! woohoo
