In December I will be celebrating my one year anniversary with the band and was hoping to reach my goal by then. Since I seemed to have stalled in losing weight during the summer and into September, I was losing hope. So... I gave myself a new goal.

I have a work related cocktail party on in beginning of Feb. 2012... and I already found the most adorable tiny black dress. It's a brand new $260 designer dress I got on ebay for $50. Size 10 Petite!!! .... I received the dress in the mail this past week and it's just perfect!!! For giggles and kicks, I decided to try it on. WOW WOW WOW... ... I've got some work to do..... The dress is "PERFECT" and an unbelievable find. I never thought I'd find something that nice on ebay. Now I have to work hard to reach my goal of getting into it.

I just got another fill on Oct. 1st and have lost over 8 pounds since. I'm feeling GREAT ... and now can see there is REAL hope of reaching my goal and getting myself comfortably into that dress. I'll have to try it on every other week or so to help keep me going. Once I get there, I'll be sure to change my profile pic on this site and show off that dress !! :-)

You go, Girl! I have a suede jacket that I use for inspiration. I keep in on a hanger hanging from the wall in my bedroom like a picture! It's the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I tried it on last week and can get it on but can't close it. Here's hoping your dress and my jacket fit soon! I have no doubt they will!!

You have a great goal! Fitting into smaller clothes is just the best feeling- I think it's as good as, if not better than, seeing the scale move. I can't wait to see that pic. of you in the dress. You can do it!

My advice when it comes to actually fitting into something (which aint necessarily the best advice for long term weight loss) cardio, cardio, cardio and then some MORE cardio. Run miles a day, spend hours on the elliptical, spin till your legs fall off - and make it all interval training, rather than slow and steady stuff. Works amazingly quickly.

I have so many things in my closet like this! Lol.. I luv fitting into new stuff.& tossing the old When I shop a lot of times I.buy the things I like in a size.down, so I keep my modivation. I have a super cute black dress I want to wear in Vegas, Im going nov 9 thru the 18th, its still.a bit snug but Im getting filled in a couple of days. Praying that helps!
