pip proof that the scale doesn't matter eta: comparison pic
I posted this on ML yesterday. But I am honestly amazed at this and thought I would share here. This dress is the one I wore for my rehearsal dinner. I weighed about 133 then and today I weigh 162. It's been in the back of my closet because I knew I had gained weight and it wouldn't fit me anymore. I haven't wanted to try it on because I figured it would be pretty depressing. Well last night I was getting another dress out and decide wtf, why not pull it out. I'm not going to say this is the best pic of me and I don't think I love the dress now. but I can't believe it fits me despite the weight difference. I want to dig out my wedding dress now, lol.
Here is the dress on me 7 years ago.

Holy cow, 30lbs difference? That is seriously amazing.
That's awesome!
I'm trying to remind myself of this because I'm really struggling to stay under 150. Maybe I should pull a few dresses out of the back of my closet.
That dress fits you great!
I weigh what I weighed at my wedding but I'm in far better shape than I was then. I pulled out a pair of capris that I could not wear on my wedding day and they are loose. It's amazing the difference muscle makes!
ETA: I've told myself if I lose some more stomach flab I will pull my wedding dress on and see just how awesome I look in it. :-)

I have gained about 8-10 lbs. since Christmas (because of CrossFit/heavy lifting/etc.) and my clothes fit better now.

First, you look amazeballs in that dress.
Second, I can totally agree that the scale doesn't matter and I am so glad I am finally realizing it. Last year around June I weighed 150 before I went to Vegas, but I wasn't doing any strength training and just running on odd days and not even that much. I gained like 13 pounds over the next 6 months while going through our buying a house fiasco. I had to buy bigger jean sizes and didn't go near most of my clothes. At the beginning of January I started a boot camp class and I have been doing it ever since. I got my bin of summer clothes out last week and decided to try to them on for my upcoming cruise. The scale still said about 158 on most days, so I was sure they wouldn't fit but they did!! They fit even better than they did last year.
I don't think I'm going to toss my scale, but I'm definitely going to put it away somewhere.
This is GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing. You look fabulous in that dress!!!! I have recently started back to working out and instead of just doing cardio I'm doing strength training with a personal trainer. I have been disappointed not to see much of a result on the scale but this helps put my mind at ease! Thanks!
This!!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
You look amazing! How tall are you?
If I could be 162 and look like you, I'd be doing cartwheels on my front lawn.
This is why it drives me nuts that people really do think that a woman who weighs over 150 if going to be at the very least chubby and out of shape. I read that once that the average man when asked what a good weight for a woman is, said 125.
this is proof that the 160's is still a good weight for many women. A friend of mine who runs is usually between 160-165 and she is in fantastic shape. She said nobody ever believes her weight because she's so thin.
Swap out 128 with 145 and ITA.
