Nothing Too Fancy!

When preparing to write this post, I had the thought, "Well, I should probably title this 'Nothing Too Fancy!' because I was almost ready for bed and I just had Jereld snap a couple quick pictures."  Then, the other half of my brain sad, "Ha! You're wearing your wedding dress! How can you title it that?" 

Sometimes I laugh at myself.  Sorry if you don't think it's all that funny. 

But...without further delay:



Here are my stats:

51 pounds GONE since I started trying to lose weight

68 pounds GONE since returning home from the hospital with Beau

1 baby on my lap trying to type this blog post for me (ok...this has nothing to do w/ weight loss, but it's a trial in and of itself alright?!)

AND...as shown above,
FITTING INTO MY WEDDING DRESS!

You are amazing Allison! I have plans to try on my wedding dress soon, but I was much bigger than I wanted to be when I got married, so I'm hoping it's way too big now! So are you done with your weight loss journey now??

Liz said...

AWESOME! What is your secret!?

Amy-I'm not done with my journey yet. I would still like to be in better shape. If I don't lose any more weight so be it, but I would like to lose some fat/gain some muscle. Liz-The secret is...no secret. Unfortunately, I've lost it all by eating right and exercising (I wish it weren't true, but it is). I follow the basic weight watcher's diet on my own (I have their materials but don't go to/pay for meetings).
