I'm so happy that I wanted to share that I finally hit my goal with Weight Watchers this week. I lost 43 pounds! I was just looking at some pictures of myself from when I was at my highest weight ever when FH and I got engaged on a cruise in May of 06. This is a little embarrassing, but I love looking at other people's before and after pictures so I posted some in my album. I never thought it was possible, but I am even lighter than I was in high school. Just in time for the wedding.

Before & After Pics

You look amazing Susan! Congratulations! You should be extremely proud of yourself!

Last year I lost 25 pounds and I'm finally trying to get to my goal weight- it's tougher this time around.

Congrats again!!! You are going to be one gorgeous bride!

Now I am still waiting for my gown to come in so I can't really say if they can take it in that much. I told her I wanted to lose a lot more and she said she could always take it in, but taking it out is another story. My dress was supposed to be in at the end of June and I can't get in touch with anyone at the store to tell me what is going on. I'm nervous now that it is getting so close. What if they can't take it in that much?

If you have the corset back you are deff. safer then me. I am pretty confident they will have no issues at all to take it in. I heard two sizes is really safe but what is two sizes pound wise ya know?

I have just a zip up and they ordered it a bit bigger in the first place because of my hips. I am terrified about the whole situation. Going to shop tomorrow to see what will happen if I drop another 20.

Congrats on the weight loss, I lost 10.8 so far went back to WW 8 weeks ago, I still have 20 more to go to be where I want for the wedding.

Also, I dont know where you bought your dress but Macys in lake grove said that if you have the right seamstress they can take a size 20 dress and make it a size 4 if they have to. So I dont think you have anything to worry about. Congrats again, you should be so proud!

Thanks so much everyone!

I did flex the whole time which is where you count points. Core is the other one where you are given the list of stuff you can eat all you want of. You should definitely try it again. I went up in weight at times no matter how well I was doing and then other times stayed at the same weight for weeks at a time. Eventually the scale moved again in the right direction. I highly recommend going to meetings, even just one a month. It gave me the motivation and taught me a lot. Good luck!
