Goal dress - helping me to focus and get great results!

Before I recieved my lap-band, I would NEVER have looked at, let alone purchased a dress like this. Too body-conscious, too form-fitting, too...everything! I finally tried this dress on after nearly a year of hard work and sticking to my eating and exercise plan after I was banded, and while I knew I still needed to "tighten up", tis dress fit a WHOLE lot better than it would have a year prior.

This was WITHOUT a briefer - and about 50 lbs down. If you've got one or two outfits in your closet that you can't quite fit into, keep them around for periodic try-ons. Especially if they are within 1 or 2 sizes of being a good fit. This dress was a size 18, down from my starting size of a 24. Progress is made day by day, baby steps along the way. Baby steps forward are STILL steps forward!
