Nice little WOW!

Today, I tried on my "special dresses". The wedding dress, the Renaissance dress, the black slinky, beaded concert dress from The Galleria in Houston that I bought for $500.00 in a moment of temporary insanity in 1990, and the brown velvet from vegas. 1. The wedding dress fits nice. Not tight, now.(tried it on a while ago.) 2. The renaissance dress is way too big, bit if I add a drawstring corset to the outside, I think it will work. 3. The slinky black beaded jobby, well...I got in it....I got it zipped...that was a wow in itself. But I look like an overstuffed sausage.LOL! It is time to get a panty girdle! Yuk! 4. The brown velvet from Vegas is sleeveless, so batwings show, but the rest looks nice. It will look better in a month. 5. My favorite blue watered silk dress from India. WOW! Where's a party?! The WOW here is not the dresses, but that they ALL fit! Yea, Baby!

That's nice that you saved all that stuff. I moved back to the Buffalo, N.Y. area in 1990 after having lived in Miami for 20 years. I was a 3X for many years. I had 2X and 1X clothes that I just loved so much and refused to get rid of them, because someday I hoped to grow back into them. Never give up hope of a diet working, right? Well, I kept them in a 30 gallon garbage bin (never used, of course****pt them in Miami and carted them back to Buffalo. Finally, a few years ago I faced reality - I was never going to get back into those sizes and so I had a patio sale. Naturally, I am kicking myself for that decision. I am now a 2X and want those clothes back!!!!!! Lynne

Ah, but you get to go shopping for new and better clothes, now. Wheee!

Jamie, I asked Lou Ann but I will ask you as well. How do you get your old pic put into your new pic like your board pic?? Also your new pic is great!! You look so good!!! Thanks, Becky P.

About the pics, go to the photos section at the top of the page. It explains it all there.

Lou Ann, Good for you!!! I know it must be so exciting!! Also I have a question, how do you get your old pic put into your new pic like your board pic?? Thanks, Becky P.

Becky, I asked them to do it when they posted mine to my profile. I think that the OH people normally are the ones that do that. Have a great weekend! Amanda 266/186/147 (-80)

The OH people on the graphics team can do it for you. I personally build my own graphics and just send them the finished product. That way if I don't like the way it looks, I have no one to blame but myself! LOL! Jamie PS- I go back to school in a week so if you'd like me to try and make you one, just send me both pictures to my regular email address and I will work on it for you!
