... AND IT FITS AGAIN!!
i don't know what size it is, because i made it for my senior project. but i do know that i am wearing around a size 14 now. my smallest in high school before i started gaining again was a size 12. and the biggest i got was a size 18.
anyway, so here are the pics everyone wants to see!!

in high school (may 2007)

    thanks everyone!!!

    bballgrrl, i agree, even though i'm around the same size/weight as last time, the last time i lost weight i didn't exercise just counted calories. so the fitness factor is definitely playing a role!! :D

    edorice, you should definitely post your pics when you can! I would love to see the dress you made, this was the only piece of clothing i've made and it was HARD! i cried putting in the zipper, cause i had to redo it about two or three times!

    Congrats!
    I tried my grad dress on last Christmas and although it was a little tight, I could still get the zipper done up! After 6 1/2 years, that's not too shabby!!

    side note: love the prom backdrop! (my senior prom was in Seattle as well, but i didnt get the Space Needle in my pics >.< hehe)

    That's awesome tho! And a really good idea...when i get farther along on my goals, i'll have to dig that old thing out and see if i can squeeze into it again ;p
