Nothing tooooooo exciting here on the clothes front - Just a new lined rain coat (the lighter one from Florida was not holding up to the two weeks of rain, chill and overcast trip in central Pennsylvania + Philadelphia over Easter vacation. AND, Ms.sss, were you slender in your original wedding gown? Let's see a pic? I think a vow renewal for the new you would be WONDERFUL! This was chubby (size 14) me back in 1994. Oh well. ;[

Spring has definitely sprung because GT is wearing her pastels! Ahhhh...powder blue - one of my favorite colors to wear and decorate with...

No, i wasn't "slender", i was regluar-to-overweight when I wore my original wedding dress from almost 20 yrs ago. See first link below....It's so funny because i went through ALL my wedding pictures just now and there is NOT ONE full body shot where I am NOT wearing that wrap or have a bouquet in front of me....I guess I must have already been conscious about my size at this weight...i'm guessing I was like 140-150 or something here, slightly overweight, but not obese...yet!

The second link below is a a pic of me wearing said wedding dress I posted 3 years ago, about 4 months into maintenance.

Its been a while since I’ve posted any OOTD’s on here…part laziness, part no new real shopping done in months.

So…looking to wake up this thread and bring it back to its former glory when it was a trending topic for months (remember that??) As it is, it remains one of my faves threads on here (this and the food Before and After thread!)

Sooooo… here we go: for those who know me, I LOVe to try on wedding dresses (been trying to convince Mr. to marry me again for forever, but that’s another story, lol).

On a recent mini-vacay a couple weeks ago, i did just that at nowhere other than Klienfelds, NY of Say Yes to the Dress fame! And no, Randy was not there, hahahha.

I tried on maybe 10-ish dresses, but this one was my fave. Price tag: $6500 USD if you’re wondering (and no, i didn’t buy it, nor do i plan to, it was just for funsies!!).

Now your turn!!! I wanna see some clothes please!

It’s a gorgeous dress 😍

I love that blue colour too @GreenTealael. So fresh. Perfect for spring.

I’m always fascinated by how easy it often is to date wedding gowns. Sleeve shapes, frills, fabrics, shapes, wraps. Can’t wait to see everyone’s pxts of their gowns. Great idea @Sophie7713.

How did I miss you went to Kleindfield’s @ms.sss?? Who looked after you? Disappointed you didn’t see Randy. And yes, let’s push OOTD back up on trending topics. food before & after & OOTD are my favourite threads too. Let’s get some of the newer forum members posting.

Bought these pewter stretch boots a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to their first wearing. Love the reflective heel.

PS. Waffle weave blanket twinsies @Sophie7713. I love mine & keep it on my bed all year round. It’s the perfect weight during our summer when I still feel cold.

Nobody from the show. Her name was Christine. But while i was there, I actually didn’t recognize ANYONE from the show, which makes me suspect the on-air consultants are paid actors. Which is somehow a bit of a let-down!!

Gorgeous! Seeing these kind of dresses is making me crave summer. I can just see you sitting on a tropical beach at sunset in that blue dress. Your waist looks tiny!

My parents are prepping to downsize. They brought this when they came to visit me recently. Not only can I wear my high school letterman’s jacket, it’s actually roomy. And back then I thought I was fat!

Those boots are amazing! Leather skirt or pants to go with? A slinky dress? You’ll definitely need to show us what outfit you pair them with!

      Hiο»ΏΒ everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare myο»ΏΒ mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and eο»Ώxcited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mο»Ώgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthyΒ food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!ο»ΏSomeone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.ο»Ώ
