It fits!

Ok, I know this is totally tooting my own horn here...but let me explain. My family (parents, siblings, and brother-in-laws) have been doing a "biggest loser" competition for one month now. We are all trying to lose weight and see how much we can lose by mid-November (my brother Gary's wedding). So, we "weigh in" every MOnday morning and post our weights and share how our eating went that week/ encourage each other, etc. So, in the past month, I have lost 12 pounds. I still have lots more to go, but I am now the weight I was when I got married. Over the past couple years, I have lost about 30 pounds overall, and my wedding dress didn't fit for a while there!...but now it does! When I got on the scale and realized I was at my "wedding weight" again, I put on my dress and made Scott take a picture of me...so I could show proof to my family on our family website:) Anyways, my reason for sharing this on my blog, is for motivation for me:) Now that I've told people I'm trying to lose weight, it will help motivate me to keep going:)

  1. Wow! I'm impressed. I can't get my wedding dress over one thigh! I've given up ever getting in it again.

  2. Good job, Julie! I'm impressed. Great idea to share your progress with someone else- maybe that's what I should do to keep me motivated. We're headed to Switzerland for Christmas and I have about 15 to lose before then. Wish me luck!

  3. That is quite the accomplishment after two sets of twins. I'm not my wedding weight and I have no excuse!

  4. Wedding weight????? WOW!!!! I'd settle for getting back to pre-baby weight. I can't imagine getting down to wedding weight. That's so great!! I can't believe you lost 12 pounds in one month either. Man, you must be on the treadmill or elliptical for hours a day!

  5. I am all team Julie! (Dont tell Brenda and Kathy!) And, my mom turned my wedding dress into Noras blessing dress, so that way I never have to worry about fitting in it again! Phew!
