Cherri,
This is wonderful. Think how much more you will enjoy this really important, special day if you are not fretting about your weight, or crabby and crazy from doing a crash diet. I hope you find a dress you love. When you are wearing a color that works for you and wearing a happy smile, you will look great.

: Hello everybody,

: I wanted to share something that I
: consider to be a victory. My son's
: wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks, and I
: normally would have been on some
: crash extreme diet to try and look
: as thin as possible for a major
: event such as this. However I read
: PnP on my vacation in July, and
: decided the crash diet was not the
: way to go.

: Today is day 9 of step one, and
: despite being tempted to
: "lose the weight" as
: fast as possible, I have
: successfully urged myself to slow
: down, follow the steps, and
: whatever weight I am at the
: wedding I accept.

: Today I go dress shopping, and I'm
: actually excited about it. I know
: the results I want will come
: eventually, but more importantly
: right now is the steadiness and
: balance that RR provides.

: I am thankful.
