Default I bought a size 12 dress!!

Its been 2 wks and 3 days since I've started. My dress size before I started was a tight 14/16 depending on the brand. I went shopping for a dress for my SIL's wedding and I found a dress that I just love, Calvin Klein Chocolate Brown Silk!! and of course they only had a 12 left, I thought well I could buy it and if I haven't reached my goal by the wedding date (11/7) then I'll return it and get something else. Then I thought well I just wanna see how far off I am into fitting into a 12, tried it on and it zipped right up, fits perfect!!! I'll make sure to take a pic at the wedding. The main thing I need to work on is toning my tummy up some more. But I have a month left and I'm gonna increase the ab workouts and cardio. I have never had this much faith that I'm gonna hit that goal or very close to it. It really helps motivate you when you see results!! Thanks for reading
