Thank you for all these posts, it's a real treat to see start to now. You are absolutely stunning all dolled up for the wedding! Your husband's eyes must've popped clean out of his head when he saw you.

I hope you feel as wonderful on the inside to match.

Thank you both so much. I can't begin to explain to you how it makes me feel to know that I've been an inspiration. It makes me all mushy and happy!!!

Thanks for sharing your story. I must say you look alot smaller than 186 in that picture. I too am 5ft7in. Now I can picture myself at that weight, thanks for that. I started at 260 hw and am now 215 only 2 months out from surgery. I hope to be able to get to onederland before the end of the year. Awesome job.

Thank you! I actually get that a lot. Most friends guess I'm a size 10/12. I think it's because I get pretty narrow right below my boobs (where this dress comes in at) I still want to lose 36-41 more pounds putting me at 145-150. We'll see. I'm just letting my body lead the way lol

Today is my 30th birthday, and I weigh less than I did when I was in high school. 30th birthday weight is 183.8!
