hmm, I thought I did it right...why isn't it showing up?

Varsity - did you use the picture button or type it yourself? It should be [*img*]URL of the picture[*/img*] without the *s

I got my size 10 holiday dress to zip up wooo!! It's still a bit snug, so hopefully another 5-8lbs by New Year's Eve will help with that. Otherwise, I'm thinking of getting a cheap backup dress from Ross or something.

I also got new size medium pajama pants from aerie.com woo!

Mary- the dress looks beautiful! It doesn't look snug on you. Very classic and elegant...like Bette Davis

Thanks Forest! It's a dress that my mom and my aunt have worn to many new year's parties over the years - they bought it when THEY were 20 so it's cool for me to be wearing it now that I'm 20 lol

That is so lucky that they kept a vintage dress for you! I wish my mom had kept more of her clothes. Not like they'd fit me, she was always a bean pole, but a dress or two would have been nice.

Mary the dress is sooo pretty... You could totally wear it now... I dont think a back up dress is necessary and we all know you are amazing and will lose a few pounds by then anyways

LOVE the dress Mary. Very classic and chic. perfect for new years! do you have big plans for new year's eve?

platformnine · 12-08-2009, 10:55 AM

Haley - Thanks!

Skinny - I'm throwing a New Year's Eve party at my house for about 25 people lol! Formal party, because my best friend was complaining about not having any fancy parties to wear her old homecoming dresses to!

I agree, it looks stunning

DivineFidelity · 12-08-2009, 11:02 AM

platform, I'm definitely jealous. Not only is it a gorgeous dress, but it's a gorgeous dress that I could never wear because right now my arms look like fat sausages compared to the rest of my body...lol...HOPEFULLY they'll shrink by summer though, at least for now I can cover them with long sleeves. LOL.

platformnine · 12-08-2009, 12:50 PM

Stella - Thanks!

Divine - Don't worry, your arms will shrink! I started out with sausage arms, and though I'm still not happy with them (especially since I have almost 60lbs to go until goal) the did shrink a lot between the 200s and 180s! Do you use hand weights when you work out? I suggest doing that, it does wonders!

spinning helps with upper arm tone, too, I've found, bco how you support yourself on the bike. You get your cardio in and you tone your arms

VarsityQuidditch · 12-08-2009, 04:53 PM

me and my puppy, Dobby.

There! Now it works!

platformnine · 12-08-2009, 04:57 PM

Varsity - Awwww!!! He is so cute!! Is he a corgi? I love corgis

And you are cute as a button!

VarsityQuidditch · 12-08-2009, 05:03 PM

Thanks! He is a corgi. He's such a cute little guy!

And I love that pic of us...I'm probably about 15 pounds away from where I want to be in that pic, it was taken about a year and a half ago. So I'd say I'm about 25 pounds heavier than I was there now...it's my motivational pic for sure!!
