It's strange, but I keep forgetting that I was ever so big. And, while I don't enjoy seeing the photographic evidence, I think it's good for me to remember that I actually let myself get that way. It reinforces the correlation between what I eat, how much I work out, and my overall appearance. So, here are some pre-band photos of me at my friend Sharon's wedding in Tuscany in September of 2007, next to a photo of me out last night in my new Karen Millen dress.

I love the Karen Millen dress and you look great in it! I don't think I've mentioned it but you're my banded style heroine.
You know Catherine, please don't take this the wrong way as it is a compliment...the old you is the epitome of the saying "she is such a pretty girl, if she'd only lose a little weight". With your new dress, and new body, you are stunning! I hope you had a great night out in the dress!
You look amazing as usual my friend! You just look so confident, I'm sure it's a great reflection of how you're feeling inside. I have to say, I'm LOVING the blond hair in your before pictures and think you were gorgeous then too! See you soon. xoxo
Beautiful! You will have to give me some tips of where you got the gorgeous before dress, though, as I have 2 weddings and 2 bat mitzvahs coming up this spring!
Very pretty! You can definitely tell you are at your goal. Anyone looking at you would say you were on the thin side!
Hope you had a great time!

I agree with Jen...I love the blonde hair too. Evidently you can rock it either way!!! You look fantastic!!!
You were pretty before. Now you are drop dead gorgeous!! I *love* that dress!
You are such an inspiration.
Fantastic picture that shows off your great shape! What an accomplishment! I hope you enjoy every minute and appreciate what you've worked so hard to create - every single minute!
Thanks, guys! :) Yana, that dress is from Saks. It's a 1X or equivalent size. If you need that size when your weddings come around, you are welcome to come "shop" in my closet for something to borrow. The only things I've really kept are my "before" pants and a few of the most expensive dresses and the things worth tailoring down.
You were beautiful then, but now you are drop dead!
Just beautiful!
I agree - you looked great before but you are drop dead gorgeous now!!!
Being a single stay at home mum, living in jean skirts and porridge covered shirts - you seem the epitome of a sex in the city chick to me!!
Besides shopping, do you have any 'goal met' indulgences planned? A friend of mine just had some pin-up pics of herself done.
Holy Hotness, Batman!!! Catherine - you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Wow. Amazing! And I do agree with Jacquie - always pretty - absolutely drop dead bombshell now!!!
So sweet and pretty - like a flower. Look at that side on pose too - you are working that body and dress. Love it!
That dress is AMAZING! And you look stunning in it
You know one thing I love about you is that you were still gorgeous when you were larger and have the most beautiful smile. I am sure you get grossed out by those photos but you were still stunning...just evern more so now
