OK, so when I chose my dress in early August is was a little tight, and pulling in the hips. I was also at my heaviest weight, outside of being pregnant, at 174 pounds. So when the saleswoman suggested I order a size up, I told her absolutely not. I'll lose the weight.
I got back to the gym and counting calories (LOVE My Fitness Pal). No magic pill or starving myself, just good eating and working out, which I really love to do. It's a great stress reliever for me and I love to challenge my myself. But sometimes life catches up and you don't get to workout and those chips look a whole lot better than that apple...
Plus my body is very deceptive because when I gain weight, it goes all the places that my FH loves. In the pic, I weigh 174 pounds. It's even hard for me to believe. But now I'm down to 154, the weight I was when I got pregnant and I'm sooooooooo happy! I'm going to try my dress on again soon and I'll post that pic as well!
