My 2nd wedding anniversary is on Monday. For fun, I put my dress on tonight :love:

When I bought the dress, it was a little too tight, so I just wore spanx and tried not to breathe too much :laugh:

Now, the straps won't stay up and the bodice cups are HUGE! It hangs way lower than it did in the boobage area which makes it soooo long on me! It just drags on the floor.

I can grab about an inch or more on my sides (of just fabric) and the bones of the top of the dress stab me in my armpit.

:bigsmile: It's kinda cool! I do love my dress :heart: Once I lose my weight, I want to get it sized...maybe it will be too big! They said they can only take it down 2 sizes. :laugh: WOOT!

So...here are some comparison pics. I don't see a HUGE difference, but it feels a LOT different!!

    Yah - I keep on saying my legs are getting shorter as I am losing more weight, as my pants are all dragging on the floor - I can still wear them with a belt - but I need to keep making the shorter at the bottom...

    You are looking gorgeous and so happy

    Love it!

    I did the same thing last weekend on my anniversary. I hadn't put on my wedding dress in 6 years, so I tried it on to see if it still fit (I was around a size 6 when I got married). And it did! Woot!!

    That's so cool! Somewhat same thing happened to me. Only a little backwards.... :) When I bought my wedding dress a little over 21/2 yrs ago; I didnt know I was prego at the time. We postponed the wedding and it wasnt until this last Dec that we got married. I told my fiance that if I could get into the dress by the time we flew to Cali to see my sister we were getting married on the beach where he proposed! So after a 35lb weight gain from the time I originally tried on the dress..... WE got married Dec 4th 2010!!! AND I had to take the dress in!!!! Congrats on your anniverary and continued journey to health!

    Thank you, people, for all the positive feedback :heart:

    I love the support as many people in my real life don't know I'm doing all of this. Well, besides Emily up there LOL She's in my real life. :heart:
