sylviau 125 Posted September 23, 2012 Sooooo I was banded July 2 and I've lost 49 pounds. So about 2 years ago, I bought this beautiful dress and it totally didn't fit! Way too small but I loved it so much that I wanted to buy it anyway! Soooooo when I was banded, I made two short term goals: get under 250 (started at 297) and where that that dress for a night out with my husband on our 2nd anniversary sept 19! I hadn't not gone under 250 in many many years and I figured by that weight, the dress would fit. Well.... I weighed in at 249 and wore the dress out for our anniversary! It felt soooooooo good!! I'm only 1/3 of the way to my final goal...but these little accomplishments help push me along! Praise God! I'm attaching a pic of me in the dress before going out! 14 elcee, dwilliams, Samantha Fleschner and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sylviau 125 Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks ladies! The picture doesn't do the dress justice! It's so pretty! I'm 5'5"... My goal is 150, though my dr said realistically its like 170ish, But that 150 is possible if I take up a sport or running. Congrats, u r doing awesome!
