Mine's in my mil's spare room and has been since I bought it in November. I see it weekly! Just not tried it on! And won't til I take it to the alterations woman in 10 days! I am very good aren't I?!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Gees smarties I'm impressed. I'd have it on every day lol My fitting is 4 weeks sat, could you put your fitting back a bit to give you a little extra time?

Hmm I might ring and ask. 6 lb to go and I just need more time! Will see what she says. Perhaps I can leave her to do the length first.
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I think it might be worth putting it back a bit - theres no point putting too much pressure on when you have plenty of time

Evening! Smarties thanks for that, I think you're right. Had a chat with my shift manager again tonight and although I'm sure his intentions are good but after a particularly sh!tty shift I think I've made my decision. I think you should ask about getting the date put back - my first fitting isnt until the end of August, I'm fretting that I wont be the same weight for the 3 weeks after my final fitting lol

Thats a weight off your mind Jill now that you have made the decision.

Nic I couldnt agree more, it would be nice to know you're appreciated before you say you're leaving, same went at my last job until the latest director came in who was absolutely brilliant but by then I was already on my way to getting my current job so went for it anyway, not realising it was going to be so much worse lol
Fiona it definitely is hun, I'm looking forward to the fresh start x

Ah glad you've made your decision and are happy Jill :-)
I'm going to ring seamstress in an hour or so (hate ringing people before 10!) and will suggest leaving it til end June/early July. I'm not sure i'll even be able to lose the last 6lb to be honest. This is the lightest i've been in 5 years. But am going to try. You never know.

Ah thanks! I do want to reach the goal I set. But then I look in the mirror and think, would it be a disaster if I looked like this on the wedding day? No, not really... so why keep going? But then I would hate to look at the photos and wish i'd made more effort. Argh!
I think if I can delay it a month I'd have a chance. I haven't exercised much this month because my zumba class was cancelled for the whole of May.
CommentAuthorKate4
Ok sorted. Put back til 25th. She promises a week turn around so eeek my dress will be all done by the end of this month!
Right 3 weeks 5 or 6lb to lose!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M

Ticker says 2 months..... I wish!
Good job I delayed my fitting as yesterday was not a good diet day. 5 hour drive to wales so stopped for food halfway then have been fed loads since arriving. Oops.
My gran however thinks I've lost 'loads' of weight. Yay!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I want the time put back not forward smarties lol
Yay - its nice when people comment on your weight but I saw my mums cousin at my nans funeral and she would not stop going on about how I was half the girl i used to be - there's a line, and she pretty much hurdled it :)
We did our gift list yesterday - its fun spending other peoples money

Well ladies I went to get my dress and it didnt fit. I knew that'd be the case but I was soooo disappointed, I'd let myself believe it may just fit but I also knew I hadnt lost any weight so shouldnt have been surprised! They've agreed to keep it there for me for another 4 weeks so I'm on my best behaviour and will be exercising no end! x

Im pretty much sorted now, sorted the guys suits and rings, just having fun planning the hen night at the moment! :o) x
CommentAuthorgemsy
I bought my dress from shop but it was off the peg and was too big so i need mine taken in. Jil im sure it will all be ok.
I have had a nightmare with my rings :(
2 stones fell out of my engagement ring so i took it back to shop. (Swarovski) Lady was really rude and said it is only costume jewellery and not supposed to be worn all the time. They knew when we bought the rings that they were engagement and wedding rings but didnt mention that the wouldnt be suitable. So i have decided i am going to get new ones as dont want them to fall out again. Another bulk of money i need to find :(
CommentAuthorJill
Nic I thought that ordering a size smaller would give me some incentive but it's made me eat instead :( it could be let out but I dont really want that - I'm just going to behave myself and exercise often from now until then! I knew it'd be the case if I didnt behave x
Gemsy thanks - I hope so too. Shame about your rings - it's annoying that they've let you buy knowing that this would happen... anything for a sale sometimes :( x

CommentAuthorNicsquared
They are verry pretty gemsy, like the little cut out bits Shame about your ring though, thats not very good of them to say that
I think my dress will have to be let out as im at least a size bigger on the bottom half and the dress is fitted :s

Gemsy, how annoying about your rings. Lovely invites though!
V glad to have delayed my fitting as had a few slip ups this weekend!
CommentAuthorJill
I'm scared to write a to do list - I'd be better with a done list! Trying on my dress - or trying to try on my dress - has definitely motivated me. No chocolate for me and chips are off the menu bigtime. I'm noting everything on my fitness pal and just done some exercise just now... need to keep it up so I dont have the same embarrassing experience all over again in July! x

I've been really good this weekend, lots of exercise but weight is staying the same : s
Ps Fiona - I'm sure I saw in another thread that you were worried about your hair, I think it looks lovely but if you are not 100% have another trial and maybe try something different

I'm sure it'll even out Nic, has to if you're being so good - have you measured? x

I agree fiona, I think you look great but if you're not sure maybe try some other styles. What are you thinking of?
Sure weight will fall off eventually. Sometimes it takes a little while.
I made a list today of all the things I've bought. They're stored all over the place between my house, my mum's and mil's, I don't want to forget anything!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Good Idea smarties, i need to do that, I have stuff everywhere, might be a good idea for me to write down where it all needs to go to
I havent measured waist etc cos I cant do it very well, everytime I measure I get something different

Course you do, you look really beautiful :-) Don't worry, as Nic says, you might not be able to picture it now but it'll all come together on the day.
I have just printed a three week diary for myself to record what i'm eating in the run up to fitting. Sometimes that helps as I feel guilty about writing down anything bad! And my competitive streak gets going when I can see how good i've been!
