Let's see if I can get the pic to work first of all...haha.

Here's me back in November...I'd lost 8 lbs, so I was 361. And then.....
Today in a size 22 dress (that is baggy in my chest area and that I can put on without unzipping!!) 230's. (not weighing in for August, so I can only give a roundabout number!)

Still far too fat to wear anything sleeveless or do a lot of showing of my legs - I seem to be losing inches in them the slowest. =P But hey, it's me in a dress!! Something I wouldn't have and couldn't have put on back last November.
I still FEEL and see the person from the before pics, but I'm working at seeing I'm not that anymore.

We'll see what happens but I'm hoping to be close to Onederland by the end of November to see my brother. :)

    I hope so. I don't have much family...so hopefully the two members I have left (My brother and grandmother) are proud. I know my Dad would be very very happy. He passed away in 2008 and all he wanted me to do was be healthy....sadly I put on a lot of weight after he was gone. And it took me a long time to get ahold of myself to start Losing it. But I'm trying now...I hope he can see me.

    Ha, thanks. I got it at a secondhand store and spent $5 on it...I figured it was one that would be easy enough to take in as I lost.

    lol...Dang, does it really look that big? I must not be used to buying clothes. I was so danged excited that I could get into a 22 (My size 22 jeans officially fit now too!)...I can't imagine that I could wear anything that's a 20!

    WOOT! You look awesome!
    Love the theory on taking in the dress as you lose weight. Definitely too big for you. Keep it up!
