So today is May 13, 2010 and I have at least 15 - 20 pounds to lose my June 12th. That is the day of my baby sister's wedding. I tried the sample dress on in a 14 and it fit so I ordered that size. No one told me that it was "loosened" up! I spent $145 plus tax on this dress so it NEEDS to fit! I lost 8 pounds in a week and then fell off because my other sister came in from Kansas and I wanted to "treat" myself. NO MORE OF THAT!!!!! I'm hard core until I walk down the aisle!!!!
