MY FIRST PHOTO OF ME IN A DRESS IN 7 MONTHS

Hi all, Below is a link I am SO proud to share with all of you friends and losers!!! In September I sang at church and was in a dress. My father had said then, that the dress was too large on me. I told him it was the only dress I owned, and was over 8 years old. Two weekends ago, I was at my Mom's in Presque Isle, MI (north of Alpena), and we went shopping. I found this dress, which I will wear at my deceased Father's Memorial Service on July 8, 2006. It is a size 14. In the past, I had to wear a size 28 or 30 dress. This is a proud moment for me to be able to find such a dress that has a great deal of sentimental value to me already and I only tried it on for a friend so I could see how the shoes I bought matched the dress. http://www.geocities.com/laurelie36/april06pic1.jpg I think it's a glorious moment for me to share this photo with all of you and I hope that in your journey, you too can find such glory in shopping for clothing, like we've never had before in our lives. I hope that each of you remember how precious our lives are to one another and how sharing these photos bring encouragement, confidence, and inspiration to each of us. Have a beautiful day!!!

Hi Stacey Wow you look so beautiful. I'm so proud of you. Your doing so well. Keep up the great work.

Hi Stace, What a great dress, you will be stylin for Easter! I have some good news and some bad news for you.......You dress will be WAYYYYY to big in July you will just have to buy a new one.....DARN!!!.....LOL. Congrates on your great sucess so far. You go girl. P.S. How is Rae Ann doing???? Please let her know I am thinking of her. God Bless----Toni

Toni, I'm not losing much weight anymore...only down 1 pound since mid March, I am only 25 from goal so they told me it is dramatically slowing down... I doubt that dress will be a problem- at least if it is, I can always get another one. I'm at 164 now and only want to hit mid 130's for goal,.....whenever. I'm in no rush the majority is gone. I'll pass along your care for Rae Ann to her. hugs
