Can't keep it to myself

[mklap1]

2 years ago I made a deal with my husband that I was going to lose this weight and get into a size 8 red dress (very figure flattering) by Christmas. If I made it, he would take me out to dinner and buy me a diamond ring.

I don't think I lost a pound that year. If anything, I gained :no

I started Atkins this year in January and didn't renew our 'deal'. Well, this weekend I was at my mom's house and she had put the dress away in her house and we found it while we were going through looking for some new smaller clothes for me, so I decided to try it on just to see how far I have to go.

Now I'm a good 10 pounds more than I was the last time I wore this dress, so I *really* didn't think it was going to fit. To my surprise, it not only fit, I had some room to spare! The only thing I can figure is that I have 10 extra pounds of muscle because I've been lifting weights. I felt like a million bucks!

AND my husband is going to buy me that diamond ring :joy Do I have the best husband or what? Talk about supportive!

Just had to share :hug

Wow, congratulations. You have a pretty new dress and will soon be sporting a new rock on your finger. Yes, your husband sounds pretty special to me.

Good luck and have fun going out to dinner in your new dress.

If I go out and buy clothes before the weight is off it always jinx me.. so I wait till its off...well Its not off yet but I'm still plodding along..

Congradulations!!!!!!!!!! That ring must sparkle.....

Good On You!

I have to say, I've gone through the same things myself. It's amazing, isn't it? I had one suit in the back of my closet that I haven't been able to fit into in years. Now it's the ONLY suit that actually fits me.

I've got a pair of shorts that I loved and now can wear again, and I can fit into my highschool gym shirt (we had to wear specific shirts for gym class). It's old, not frayed, and one of the most comfortable t-shirts I own.

Congratulations on your achievement!
