This is one of my most FUN blogs that I have put together as I’m sharing a fun journey about Shelby Vinson who has challenged herself to fit BACK into her wedding dress that she wore when she got married almost 11 years ago.
This is ‘Blog segment’ #1. As you may guess from the title, Shelby is inspired to fit BACK into her beautiful wedding dress that she wore almost 11 years ago….
This is ” In her own words”…. (however I’ll interject from time to time in blue)
Shelby Vinson, AKA Shelby Dietrich, Born April 1980, Houston, TX.
(I looked up and found Shelby was born April 25 so is a Taurus. According to one Astrology source, being a Taurus born on April 25th, you are affectionate and committed. You are the one in your circle of friends, to come up with the quirkiest ideas.
You don’t take too much time with decisions and often go by impulse. You have big expectations in life!” That pretty much summarizes what I already know about Shelby by doing this blog.
What Shelby doesn’t say is she is a pistol of energy, with contagious optimism! We have no doubt that she will reach her goal as she is very driven…and for her own reasons…not because someone told her to!
“I graduated Texas A&M University 2002 and was 100 % hyper-focused on my career. Upon graduation I was one of eight selected in the world to enter the Zale Corporation Merchandising training program. By the time I was 28, I was the Cartier Buyer for all Neiman Marcus stores across the country and married to Rich Vinson.
We lived in a nice part of Dallas, in a house with a pool, surrounded by great friends.
I walked away from my career 3 weeks before I turned 30 when I became a mommy to Katherine (Katy) Vinson and then another beautiful daughter, Leah Vinson, was born 3 years later.
I’m now 38. Pregnancy was not kind to my body. I currently weigh 211 lbs. and that IS 19 pounds lighter than when I started Tavala 1 month ago!!
I’m on a roll. I don’t want to lose momentum. So, here’s my proposal: The Wedding Dress Challenge!
I was married October 27, 2007 in Galveston, TX
Prior to my wedding I crazy dieted and remember weighing roughly 160ish pounds. I’ve never been a “small-size”, but I do remember feeling comfortable in that skin. Honestly, when I think about or dream about myself, THAT’S what I look like. Odd? I see my true 211-pound self in pictures. That’s when I cringe and think, “What happened?”
Last October, Rich and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. This summer, I was approached by my life-long friend and bridesmaid from my wedding, Kara Bagley, about Tavala. She introduced me to a product that is already changing my life and will be the catalyst to my goal of fitting into my wedding dress.
I don’t want to ever think of myself as someone that “…let themselves go…”, especially after being so focused in my 20s.
This is the time. This is for me. I will fit back into my wedding dress! See below. Day 1…and make sure you follow my progress.
I have a FUN challenge ahead of me as my wedding dress is much smaller than my current dress size, but with a product like TAVALA TRIM I am confident I will attain my goal.”
THIS is HOW I AM LOSING WEIGHT. TAVALA TRIM, MONTH 1 DOWN 19 POUNDS!

Dave and Joy
We are thrilled to share Shelby’s journey and proud to have her on our Tavala Team. Follow her journey….and join her. Let the FUN BEGIN!
Joy, you are correct in saying Shelby is a “pistol”! She has always been very outgoing and aggressive in whatever she does, but is the most dedicated person you will ever meet. She has always been a handful and we often said if Shelby were our first child she would be the only child! We love her dearly. Oh … I know this because I am her mother and I’m positive she will reach her goal!
Thanks for your comment! You must be proud of Shelby and in love with your granddaughters!!!! I had a hard time choosing which picture to use of the girls as they are all adorable!
Thanks mom! Love you too!
We don’t have a beach at our house but you can renew your vows on our property as soon as you are ready. Won’t be long. Great Blog.
