One pound is definitely a start! I celebrated the 2lb loss with a pack of frazzles and a Mr Kiplings cake! Oh dear.
I'm ok with my dress at the moment as when I bought it (sample sale) it was too big, so in June when I go for my alterations she'll alter it depending on my measurements then. So no need to fit into it as such, I just need to be the weight and size i'd like to be on the day by June.
Oooh 50 days! You have your outfit don't you? I remember the red bag and shoes! What have you got planned? I don't know how long til mine about 80 I think. I'm dreading it to be honest. I love everyone who is coming but they barely know each other. I have lots of friends scattered across the country rather than one big group of friends. They're all lovely so I'm sure people will get on fine but I'm still bit anxious.
Argh 3 months, silly ticker, that sounds so much sooner than it is!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Well mine came in in march and didn't fit! I was exactly the same weight and they warned me it may need taking out on the hips. I was gutted though! I'm determined that when I go back in June it will fit!

Moment on the lips....!!!!
I have a save the date card on my desk with 'FITTING 11TH JUNE - N0 JUNK!' Written across it. That's quite a good motivator in work. It's when I get home I struggle. I'll eat anything. One day (a while ago) I ate the whole tub of 'hundreds and thousands' we had in the cupboard because I needed something sweet!!!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
hahahaha sorry i don't mean to laugh but thats funny
keep some grapes in or sherbet pots and just dip your finger in it when you need that sweet fix

Mmmm I love chocolate orange.
I went to wetherspoons for lunch. It was that or the chippy! It's ok though, I know how many points were in my meal and am well within my allowance and it was always going to be the main meal for the day as never get time for anything Thursday evening due to zumba. See I have justified it, so it's ok.
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
let you off hahah i went to the butty show and got a salad box and instead of getting coleslaw i got cottage cheese (better for you apparently) and i still have 1000 calories left for my evening meal which is good because OH is making curry from scratch eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Ah sounds lovely! When my h2b cooks i'll eat it regardless of calories as it only happens once in a blue moon!
Yeah think cottage cheese is a fairly good option. Better than normal cheese anyway. I had veggie burger and chips. Less points than meat so it's my go to meal! Think it's 900 cals. And brekkie was only 150. So not bad considering.

When i drive around during the day I eat some mints (one of those mint assortment packs - humbugs etc), but i found out today there are 100kcal in 3 mints :s Think i might throw the rest out the window
Mints aside I have been good today - 500 kcal burnt on the exercise bike, prawn stir fry for tea!

Haha in my defence the hundreds and thousands tub was given about two years ago! When I wasn't dieting, just desperate!!!
I have 9lb to go too Nic! Seems a do-able number! Jill that's amazing well done! Mrs Mann wine isn't food so doesn't count! Plus definitely agree that mental health is more important. If you need a wine, have a wine!
My back is bad again today :-( Couldn't walk to work which was going to be my exercise for the day. Might be able to go later if it eases up a bit.

i'm detoxing today so the wine was for medicinal purposes hahaha

Ugh it's been a bad morning all round. H2b moaning he didn't sleep and the cat is ill too :-( Have booked the afternoon off work so can go home and have a hot bath and keep an eye on him!
Should be fine 20lb is 2lb a week for ten weeks. So even with a few wobbles you've got the time. Considering how good you are eating all that fruit and veg you'll be fine!

Also h2b's aunt rang him last night to ask about his cousins' kids and why they weren't invited! He was very firm and gave our reasons -we don't really like children so don't want them there (not how I'd have put it....), and we've said no to all kids ( except flower girls) as we don't have the room or the money to have four extra guests. She was insistent that if the kids aren't invited then h2b's cousins won't be able to make it.
That doesn't bother us. We've invited too many people so 4 declines would be ideal! She didn't bring up whether she could bring her friends luckily as h2b was ready to go mental if she'd asked!

At the end of the day its your wedding and your decision, if they are not happy they dont go - thats their decision As much as people have a right to their own opinion, its not their wedding, no one has a right to go grrrr

It's annoying that people think they can ring up and have a go. I don't feel remotely guilty or inclined to apologise to her. H2b has never met the kids, their mums and not seen his cousins in 20 years! I'd be more inclined to let my friend bring her kid, least I've met that one! Hopefully that's four 'no's. Need another four at least...
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Thats the thing isnt it - they dont have a right to change your mind and also why are their kids any more important than anyone elses Do you have 4 too many then?
