That is one of the prettiest dresses I've seen! Looks fabulous on you darl'n. OMG you look like one of those girls who have been skinny all her life? How much was your pre surgery weight and how much have you lost in how long??? Inspired!

Quite possibly my favorite dress ever to rock! I'm absolutely loving my new silhouette.

Wow!!!

I am not sure if you are asking me, but I will tell you anyway! My highest weight was 260lbs, my surgery weight was 220.5lbs. From my surgery I lost almost 83 lbs and it took me 18 months. Slow and steady wins the race I guess! I have been pretty stable now for about 8 months.

Hi ladies I am new to this and my surgery is scheduled for 2/26/13. I am amazed at your progress and think you all look beautiful!!! You r truly an inspiration to me. I am 5'6" and about 216 or so, medium frame. I know everyone is different, but I am curious to hear your input of what my goal weight should be? My doc told me 125 lbs but that seems crazy low for my height....would love to get some input

Wow, that seems extreme! I am barely 5'3" and I now weigh about 138lbs and I am just within the normal BMI for my height. With your height, that seems on the lower end of the scale, like he just grabbed a number out of the air. Go by how YOU feel and the way your clothes fit. Even thought I am at the higher end for my height, I only wear a size 4 or 6 depending on the brand.

Thanks so much for replying, I agree I was thinking 150 !

My doctor said at 5' 3" he wanted me at 138. And I have a small frame. I was not happy there and am at 127 now and want to get to at least 124. He said that was fine as long as i am still fine and my bloodwork and everything was on track!

Hi -- your surgery will be almost exactly two years after mine was, here's to success! I'm also just over 5'6 and I weigh now just under 150-ish (about 68kg), which for me is a good weight to be at. I'm in normal BMI and wear size 6-8. There is not a ton of fat left on me for sure! And not to be a cliche, but I'm pretty large-boned, so I think to get much lower would be difficult and pointless. Just my .02. Best of luck!

Congrats! I am also 5'6" and I'm down to 143 lbs. We have similar stats and I love reading your posts.....I use to think that I was large boned but discovered that I'm actually medium boned....Keep it up ladies and gentlemen. We are all success stories.....

My first LBD since surgery June 2012. I've lost 150 total, 85 since surgery. I started at a size 28 (probably a 30 but I wouldn't let myself admit it). I bought this dress yesterday... size 14/16!!! It's just a generous fit because the jeans I bought yesterday are an 18. I still have a long way to go but I felt hot last night!

And my LBD from NYE last year.

Cute dress, you look great!

[Healthy&Skinny 33]

Way to go, you are doing fabulous!

Looking great!
