Okay, so I finally got the pictures to work by completely reuploading them to Photobucket :tongue: Sorry about that!

So I joined MFP as a tool to lose weight for both my health and my upcoming wedding! I had gone dress shopping when I first got engaged and wasn't too happy with the way I looked and resolved to lose weight so I could fit into my dress. Well, 4 months later and I've lost 27 lbs!!! My goal is 34 lbs lost, but since I was home visiting my family over the holiday, I went dress shopping with my mom again, and this time the results were much better! Before, I had to stuff myself into a size 14 and couldn't even zip it up all the way. Now I can fit into a size 10 (without any back cleavage! )!!!! I found a beautiful dress, and hopefully I can lose those last 5.5 pounds and tone up. Here are pics of my first dress shopping result and my last one!!!

Stuffed like a sausage...

Couldn't get it zipped up... and BTW that shiner on my arm is from a horse kick, not an abusive boyfriend... :laugh:

    Fantastic! You are going to be one gorgeous bride, walking down the isle! I remember when my sister's dress zipped up after it being really tight 6 months earlier. It wouldn't zip all the way, and two days before the wedding, she needed to have it fitted for a corset string, cuz it wouldn't zip. They decided to try zipping it. By glory, it zipped up and it was LOOSE! lol She cried, I cried, my mom cried. haha Great job! How awesome!
