So here are a few photos of my before shots via the wedding dress fitting! I'll be posting more showing photos of where I carry more of my weight in my lower half. I know I may not have large amount to lose as others do, but its important for me to do this and to become more fit cardio wise etc!
 
It really is beautiful, I love the gold detailing on the top! And you know, it doesn't matter if you have less or more than others to lose, what matters is that you're doing it for your health!
 
I love the dress! The gold is really pretty! I wish I would have had a wedding.. now that I look back..When are you getting married?
 
Thanks girls! I am so pleased with my dress, glad everyone else here liked it too!

I am getting married June 10,2006! And trust me.. while the wedding I am sure will be nice, sometimes I find myself wishing we're eloping, its a LOT of work so you aren't missing out on that much!!
 
You look amazing in your dress...Wow. Oh and the pic with both of you. Its so sweet you both look so in love. What a beautiful couple you make.
 
Lisa has a point if you get too tiny you wont fit in that dress. I think they can only take it in so much...LOL. You do look amazing though just thought I would tell you again.
 
Thanks!! Well I have taken in to account the fact that I can only have my dress probably taken in a whole two sizes! But considering, I'm doing this the "right way" (or so I like to think) by changing my lifestyle habits permanently, I know I won't lose all of this weight by the time of my wedding! So, if I firm up my arms a bit and lose a snidge off my waistline,before the wedding I will be pleased with that! Afterwards I'd like to drop the rest of the weight and keep in good health. Eventually we want to have children, and I don't want to be at my highest weight to do that! :)

And thank you so much for all the lovely compliments. I really needed to read these today, I was giving myself a full-fledge "cheat day" and eating to compensate for the fact that my FH is stressed so I'm stressing. Thank GOODNESS its Friday!!
 
Hey ladies.. here are a few new photos for my "BEFORE" Pictures.. and then I used photoshop to do some really rough editing to what I'd sort of like my AFTER photos to look like! :)
 
Well I have the pics... just have to decide if I dare post them! I will tell you though that the dress I'm getting requires my measurements to be no more than 35-27-36 and right now I'm 39-32-39... So I'm going to try to focus on dropping inches and not the scale. I weighed myself yesterday and then I told Josh to take the scale (I have an obsession with weighing myself several times a day!). So six weeks from now, we'll see what it says!

When do you plan on taking pics again?
 
Hey Paula! :) Just remember we're allin the same shoes you are, so those pictures we won't be critquing!! :)

I plan on taking photos in a month from now. Hopefully I'll have lost enough weight to show a difference! :) I'd like to have at least 5lbs off by my birthday the 26th!! That's my gift to myself.
 
Tuesday, Jan 31st Photo Update

Ok as Kate requested, here is my update. Not really sure what to make of it. :confused: The side photo is hard for me to see any changes, because the newer photo is at a slightly different angle. And I'm still bloated. Although.. maybe not since all I've done is run to the potty tonight!!:eek: At least I drank my water today!
 
I CAN see a difference. Especially in the front facing one. How much weight have you lost since that picture? You are doing great. Keep up the good work!
