So I tried on my bridesmaid dress today, and it fit decently.... I can't imagine me being smaller and needing to do alterations by january (Though I'm sure I will have to, I just can't picture it), I still see the fat girl in the mirror sometimes.... but i will say that I LOVED seeing the waist of that dress, and how much smaller it is than my hips!
On a sad note, I am getting sick, and it's coming up to finals week this friday..... I am NOT looking forward to this sickness, especially if its what my parents had (They didn't come to family thanksgiving due to the illness).... SO, I pray I get over it fast! Since I have finals, AND a second bridal shower to plan....
Deana: Get lots of rest and drink lots of liquids! Some nasty bugs going around out there! Think of how great your going to look at the wedding as a result of all your hard work! Hope your feeling better...

That is so exciting about the dress! Awesome! And you will DEF be smaller by January. Good luck with your finals, and I sure hope you feel better soon.
Despite Thanksgiving and having cookies last night, I met my original goal this morning! I think I want Togo down 5 more lbs before phase 2. Today back on track!

Willowvee, what wonderful success you have achieved! I love how you have incorporated changes, (eggs in the car) into your life. Congratulations on the
size 8.
Thank you, SF! IP was such a good choice for me. And way to go, you, too!
Lots of great successes on here. Yea to Sarah Bell for the size 16s. That is a new goal for me but I have been struggling to be on the program. I have not regain much but have again lost my mojo.
So I am back on here hoping to find the motivation to get back to my previous 100%. Having a tough time with family and meals out and husband ordering food he knows I cannot eat.....

Deana - what great progress you are making and I am sure that you will indeed need alterations.
The image thing is an interesting challenge because I know when I look in the mirror in different clothes, it is hard for me to see "ME". I have discovered that if I focus on specifics - like you, smaller waist flatter stomach, smaller rear end, less excess around the chin, whatever, I can begin to build a new image.
Good luck with finals - just sent our college student back to college this morning and wish all of you well.

What a great NSV! It's fun to try on new clothes during the shrinking process, isn't it! Best of luck with staying healthy and getting through finals!

I feel your pain. It's such a tough time of year. I went to a party last night and cheated a little, but back on the wagon today. I think it's harder to restart for me because I have less to lose this time, and I know I can get there. I just wish I had another month, but I have to get in my winter clothes before Christmas.
Size 16!!!!!!!!!
