Well, you didn’t ask for it, but you’re getting it. Here is (after the jump, that is; as Perez Hilton would say, if you are easily offended, do not click here!) the scary state of me in my favorite dress, or what was my favorite dress 5-8 pounds ago. Please, no reassuring comments; no negative comments either. It is what it is.
I don’t hate my body at this new weight; in some outfits, I think I look great. But in that dress? Not so much! And since I love that dress, sacrifices must be made.
I’ll post new, hopefully svelter photos at New Years. Pilates, don’t fail me now! If anyone would like to join me in this New Years Challenge, as Bob Barker used to say, “Come on down!”

I will join you! Feeling good in your fav clothes is a wonderful feeling that I’ve been missing lately too.

Yep, me too. This New Year’s Eve will be my 6th wedding anniversary and I will look good, darnit.

Guys. I highly recommend taking a photo - I’m already finding it very motivating. I know I’m going to be pulling up this page every time I want to skip working out or have pizza instead of salad at lunch.
Java, what an awesome anniversary to have!!

I will take a pic this weekend, we’ll likely be getting dressed up tomorrow night for dinner out on our anniversary trip.
JavaChick, that IS an awesome anniversary! Our first wedding anniversary is this weekend. I weigh at least 5 lbs more than I did on my wedding day one year ago. The trend will NOT continue! Onward. Downward.

I am in - although my deadline is Dec. 22 - the day I am back home for Christmas! ;)
I took a bikini pic of myself a little while back - scary! But tre motivating! :)

I’m in too! Last New Years was when I started weight watchers all over again at 167 lbs. Since I want that hot “bikini” body looks like I gotta pull out the swimsuit and take a picture.
