Well, I am down 50+ pounds (haven't "officially" weighed in for Feb, but it was 50 on the nose when I weighed in in Jan, and I've already lost those pesky extra pounds I had put on after some minor surgery -- I've since hidden the scale and jumped on my routine... anyway!)

Tonight, I bought my FIRST-EVER "Little Black Dress". I think I could stand to lose another 10-15 pounds for it to look PERFECT, but when hubby was snapping the picture for me, he said it looked great! Believe me, I am not used to compliments, and I have NEVER owned a dress like this, so I am unsure of WHAT to think, exactly... but I am amazed at my success (so far) and feeling a little proud, if I do say so myself! :)

So, without further ado, here's the pic:

Thanks for letting me share! :)

    Thank you SO MUCH everyone!!! *blushes*

    I have been fat most of my adult life (I briefly enjoyed being a size 12 in college -- but after a bad breakup, that shattered into a million pieces (or, rather, POUNDS) ).

    It's almost surreal for me to feel like I can actually pull of wearing this dress.

    I bought it for an upcoming vacation, so I haven't worn it out, YET. :)

    Thank you again... Truly! :):):):):):)
