I just want to say...
You look amazing! You really seem focused and motivated. and you ravi is gorgeous.
BTW, ignore mine... there's a story...
Why is it that the person we most want to share our success, wants, needs desires, etc. with does not always get what we are doing when we are trying to improve ourselves?
My wife has gone from encourging at first, to becoming irritated with me when I focus to much on what I'm doing, to (I think), grudging acceptance that this is the way I'm going to be. For my part, I choose not to mention it much at home, because talking about weight loss, food, exercise doesn't always seem to make people happy...
This is why I come here. I have an online group of friends who I can talk to until I'm blue in the face about what I'm doing, and everyone is happy about it.

OMG. I rarely post more than one diary entry a night, but I have too! I called hubby but he could careless. I was sitting in my room thinking I wonder if I should try on my prom dress. Every so after I try it on. It wont zip and I put it down and say in ten lbs I will try again. Tonight I put it on..and it zipped. I had a major breakdown. I cried for like 15 minutes. It just felt so good. Even though I know that I felt huge that night. I have been trying to fit into it since 2006. Tonight I did it and it feels damn good! I have a logn way to go but I am just so proud of myself and thats proof that I am getting there slowly,but surely!

AMEN to that! I've never had a place to talk about this before now. And I've learned a LONG time ago people can be mean so I shut up about it. My hubby doesn't seem to care either way as long as I feed him but I don't talk to him much other than to tell him when I've hit a marker on weight loss. When I really drastically lose some weight I guess we'll see how he feels then.

just thought i would stop by and say hello^^ congrats on the 193 =D btw... your prom dress is gorgeous!!!
lol i would wait till i hit my goal weight... and then have it altered^^ and have a fun night with the boyfriend/husband ^_~ haha im horrible!
hehe one for you and one for him! tea party =D lmfao xD
On another note if you do ever want to get rid of the dress but don't want to alter it you could incorporate it into a quilt. I know it sounds lame but when I lost 80lbs (before I gained it all back) I gave a ton of my clothes to a neighbor. Well apparently all my clothes were in lavenders and blues and went together beautifully and that's what she did, cut them up and made a quilt. At first I was kinda upset since some of the dresses I really loved but after seeing the quilt I was like wow.
