Here is the Dress

People have asked for a picture of the dress so I am posting it.  I am actually posting pictures of all my prom dresses but it is the sequin dress I specifically want to fit into.  The others are pretty small and just to be fair they were hand me downs from my sister.  She wanted to know where her dresses were, so here they are.
If anyone wants to put up pictures of their dresses or their prom pix (big hair included), I welcome you to do so.

Today is Halloween, so maybe I should have started this journey next week but I have some ideas of how not to eat my kids candy. I might get some tooth whitening strips and put them in for a couple hours.  You can't eat while they are in, so I end of with whiter teeth and candy free.
The other idea is to just keep apples cut up and eat a piece every time i want to steel a Hershey kiss. 


Any other ideas?  Also looking for some good low carb snack ideas if anyone has them.

Day 1

A couple weeks ago my mom decided to finally purge herself of the junk in her house.  First stop on the way to the trash, my house.  Amongst the items in the "trash" bags.  My prom dresses.  I loved my prom dresses, and even though they are not in fashion today in the 90's they were spectacular.  I could not resist trying them on.  I knew they would not fit but I had to try, and of course they did not fit.  So I set a new goal, to fit into my prom dress.  That is when my husband made the goal more attractive.  He proceeded to say " when the dress fits, we'll have a prom party."  Anyone who knows us,  knows we don't really need a reason to have a party but why not keep this theme, make it fun and have others join in. 

So here we go.  I will be posting my progress and want others to join in the fun.  We can share workout tips, diet tips, laugh at ourselves, put up pictures, and try to reach our goal.
