Thanks for sharing your inspiring story and the richness of the photos that tell it all. Thanks for putting yourself out there. I applaud your courage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures/page/2#post-102666 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:32:27 +0000 Kristen 102666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shiny, that's very sweet. I've been accepting recently that it's likely my goal weight is about 5 pounds lower than what I realistically can maintain (and therefore I need to adjsut it), but I definitely don't like the way I look and feel with these extra 10 on top of that on me. It's the difference between feeling slender and heavy, in my head. Plus, it's a size up and I definitely do NOT like that. </p> <p>I actually wore that suit again this week, because it fit again in all the right places. It had been in the retire pile, but it got pulled back out! It's a great suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures/page/2#post-102643 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:09:16 +0000 shiny 102643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everyone else already said... I'll just add that I think you are beautiful and stylish at *any* weight. That's not an excuse to regain (we want you to be healthy!), I'm just saying, don't be so hard on yourself about regaining those 10 lbs. It is possible your body is not meant to be at your goal weight. Or that you just need a rest for now at this weight. </p> <p>P.s. The suit in April is how I want my new suit to fit me. You have an amazing eye for fit. I think that goes a long way towards looking your best, no matter what weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-102625 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:40:30 +0000 Kristen 102625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been very bad about commenting regularly on YLF in the last couple of weeks, only able to dip my toe in here and there, but I wanted to come back and say thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I've been struggling since June to continue to get to my goal weight, and now I've tipped into the other direction of gaining some of it back, and reading everyone's enthusiasm here has been motivational in getting myself back on track. You guys are THE BEST.</p> <p>Heheheh, I can't really answer's Angie's question about how would I spend $5000 if I could because...well, this picture essay pretty much answers it. Apparently I would dive into dresses headfirst and buy as many as I could. LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100607 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:37:03 +0000 hanna 100607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i commented on your blog, but i had to leave one here too: WOW. you are amazing, kristen, truly. and i love that your style never slipped at any point during your transformation. incredible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100534 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:47:33 +0000 Kari 100534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, congratulations on all of the progress you've made &amp; continue to make, and especially on pushing the envelope in what you were wearing throughout your weight loss. Honestly, I think you did an amazing job buying fantastic, flattering pieces that didn't make it look as if you had a small wardrobe, and you just continually bumped up your style level. Maya's right - you never looked sloppy at ANY stage in your weight loss, and that's an awesome accomplishment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100425 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:44:07 +0000 Chris 100425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree One thousand Percent with all the other YLF comments. I noticed how much your smile and body language changed over the year - could see the confidence bursting out of you by July!<br /> Thank you for sharing and inspiring us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100411 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:54:57 +0000 Maya 100411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really astonishing. What impresses me most is that at no point did you give yourself the excuse to look sloppy just because you were losing weight. At every stage and size, you maintained high standards for yourself. I know a lot of women "punish" themselves by saying they won't get any new clothes until they reach their goal weight. Kudos to you for dressing your body the way it is at every step of the way. I am always so impressed with anyone that has the determination and patience that it takes to lose weight. I'm lucky that I don't need to do it because I honestly don't think I could! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100410 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:50:06 +0000 April 100410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo hoo -- I thought I had missed this! I have been around a little less lately than in the summer and figured it had gotten past me. So glad I didn't -- Kristen, this is nothing short of amazing. </p> <p>I know you had some frustrations with having to replace your clothing so often during the process, and I'm very impressed that you didn't give up. </p> <p>Have you gotten used to the New You? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100386 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:18:37 +0000 Angie 100386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>POWERFUL. </p> <p>Very, very compelling Kristen. This thread just scored 20 out of 10. KILLER to the power of KILLER. I am *so* impressed, I can't even begin to express it. </p> <p>The weight loss is remarkable, but the sense of joy and fun that you're deriving from dressing the new you – priceless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-weight-loss-and-fashion-transformation-in-pictures#post-100356 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:50:32 +0000 bella 100356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are an inspiration Kristen.

We have lost the same amount of weight, but I started out bigger than you. Sometimes it's hard for me to see the changes in myself, so it's really interesting to see it on another person.
