The dress ZIPS!!!!!!!!!
« on: July 31, 2012, 06:45:59 AM »
Hello All,
                I was inspired to join FTS by a coworker who was diagnosed with diabetes while she was pregnant. She started the program after giving birth to her son and has lost an amazing amount of weight. Each week I would see her at work she appeared smaller and smaller. So I decided to check it out and here I am . But what truly lead me here was my desire to see the same results with such simplicity and the fact that I am in one of my sisters weddings at the end of this month in Mexico on the beach and the dress that we had got last summer no longer zippered!!!!!!! OUCH!  I had gone through some major health issues last summer after we purchased our dressed ( blood clots in my arm and lungs caused by a syndrome called paget shroeder and ultimately had to have my first rib removed. In any case I had put on 25pounds while going through this ordeal and being in the hospital for over a month and out of work for 6 months!!!!!!!!! When I started FTS I had 8 weeks to get in this dress before having to tell my sister that we had a big "problem"  :-\ 
              This past weekend was 5 weeks on FTS and I decided at week 5 I would "retry" the dress on and measure my progress not on my weight lost but if the dress fit. You read it right..... the dress zippered without a problem! The theory is true. Despite the scale not showing that I have lost 25lbs that I originally gained , I am smaller, I fit into the dress! I could not feel better! So I am just hear to spread my joy and look forward to sharing my continued success as well as sharing everyone else's!  :) :) :)
