My mom started working out and losing weight about a year and a half ago and holy *crap* does she look hot now! Everytime I see an old picture of her I can't believe she was ever so heavy. Now, my mom is 41 and I am 22. I am getting married June 2012 and I can let her be hotter than me on my wedding day, right? Haha. So this is her before and after:

Before: On her 40th birthday, June 2010

After: On her 41st birthday, June 2011

Meanwhile, I've been regressing. When I moved home in 2008, I was my lowest adult weight at 195 or so (this dress is a size 12):

After moving back home, I am at my highest weight ever, 265 (size 20 or 22), which you can see in my mom's "after" picture. Ugh. I definitely want to try and be a size 12 or less for my wedding. I am terrified that I will look like a pig in a dress and that those pictures will haunt me forever.




So what do you think? Can I out-sexy my mom in time for my wedding? ;)

    Heyyyyy is that picture from prom '08? Thanks for being my date, btw. I'd like to see how insanely tight that red dress I wore would be right now.... :\ We should make it our goal to both fit into those dresses again. And soon. Wouldn't it be awesome to take photos in them again? :):) ALSO, your mama is also my mini-inspiration. We better find her a hot outfit for your wedding. She needs to show off her new curves. ;)

    Yep, that was from Prom 08 and I would LOVE to fit in a size 12 again hahaha. I didn't feel very thin back then, but looking back now I can't believe I was that small! *sigh*
