for the weight loss challenge, we had to take a before and after photo.  i choose to take my photo in a pink satin dress i brought for a wedding but never went to SO the dress has never actually been worn.  it still has the tags on it.  sad.  i got a great deal on both the dress and the matching jacket…under $100.  i bought the dress right after my first ironman and back then i was still naive enough to think i would be able to keep the weight off.  bless my heart.  

the dress is an honest size 4 and if i am under 140 pounds, it will zip all the way up… it would be such a shame if this pretty, satin, pink dress sits in my closet for the rest of our lives.  so i have goals… 

without any further ado, here is my before:
