It’s been a long slow process to lose 39lbs since I bought a dress that was 3 sizes too small in January.

One of those moments when it was that dress or nothing. The motivation to get into it has put me back on track when I’ve had a naughty week.

Well 6 weeks until I get to wear it and if I lose any of the last 8lbs to reach my ultimate goal it’ll be a bonus.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend buy a dress way too small for an important event. I’ve had weeks when I’ve felt helpless and down, thinking it would never fit but it’s kept me going for 8 months.

    You’ve got plenty of time Laura, you can do it. I took a photo of my dress and photographed myself in it each month so I could see it getting closer and closer to it doing up, when I had a bad day or felt like giving up I looked at the photos and the picture of it on the model.

    Congratulations on the dress and your coming wedding. Almost 40lbs since January is not that 'long and slow' 😉
