the true goal is not to weight a certain amount, but to be able to fit into all my summer clothes, so I don't have to buy anything. As soon as they fit comfortably, I stop.
I have to go to a seriously swanky family wedding in June, and I remembered that I have a really nice dress I wore to the Washington D.C. F2F Prom (black with subdued sparkly shit on the bodice
t edit
this dress: [link] I dug it out of the back of the closet and was thrilled that it basically fits. I had gained so much weight in the past few years that, even though I've lost 20 pounds since Xmas, I didn't know if it would fit.
I found my first corset, too (the one I bought when I first joined the kink group -- it's not a true corset, b/c it has hooks and eyes, plastic boning that bends really easily, and eyelets instead of grommets -- but I have fond memories of it). The Boy asked me to put it on and demonstrated that he has fond memories of it, too. Heh.
Honestly, like Scrappy, I'm not trying to lose weight for any other reason than I don't want to buy new clothes. Because (1) I'm cheap as hell, and (b) have you SEEN this season's fashions? Uggggggggly. HELL no, I say.
Though I am dithering about buying another corset.
Congratulations on the rapid weight loss, Scrappy!
And looking for the picture of that F2F dress reminded me that there's a funny series of pictures of people wearing the bunny ears. Good times.
Gorgeous dress, Teppy! And thanks, Laga!

The best part was that vw and I had the same dress -- it was totally unlike high school Prom, where that would have been the most mortifying thing EVER. At the F2F Prom, I thought it was awesome. Mostly because we both rocked that dress.

Shrift and Ple in Bunny ears is pure gold.

Different F2F. I wonder if I have those on Flickr. Hmm.
And I do! Behold the whole set (only because I LOVE the hot picture of me & Erin kissing): [link]
And Spider-Man in Plei's bosom.
I saw this skirt [link] on J.Peterman's site and thought "Hmm... that would be lovely to wear to Prom with a corset" except my corset is antique gold and black. Somehow, I'm not seeing it work. Which has me dithering about whether to buy another corset or not.
Besides, I have a gajillion clothes that if I lose ten pounds or so, I can get into.
Actually, Barb, I think that color would work with gold and black, if I'm remembering the corset correctly.
