I've bought a dress for the party. It's a 'not perfect, but it'll have to do cos I'm running out of time' kinda dress It doesn't fit fantastically well, bit baggy around the bust & belly but it fits around the hips so I can't go for a smaller size I'm a bit worried peeps I don't know ask me when I'm due :eek:

So I need some advice I've already got some [STRIKE]big knickers[/STRIKE] control pants that I bought the other week (I knew I would need them) but they're black & the dress is a teensy bit see-through & I don't want peeps knowing I've got them on!! Can you imagine the shame!! :rotfl: I could maybe buy some that are 'nude' coloured or my other thinking is to see if I can find a 'nude' basque/body type thing to hold everything in/up where it should be?? I'm hoping either of these options will suck me in so I don't look 6 months gone Or another options is to maybe just take the bl00dy dress back & keep looking for something else??

First of all...........:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:D

Now I've got that out of the way......if you buy a basque thing, it might put everything where it's supposed to be but tighter/firmer and the dress will be even more roomy at those places which might make it look even more unbalanced?

If you're going down the BIG KNICKERS route, they have to be nude ones.

I'd buy nude knicks but keep looking for something else, if you find something better, then you can take the first one back and if not then you have the dress and knicks to fall back on?

What about a big thick belt to go with the dress that would draw their eyes to the belt and not your kecks :T

Alternatively you could buy the belt and wrap it round your mouth to help you stop eating?

:kisses3: Love you sweet.

Hiya

Nice to find this thread - there's not much talk of Dukan around...I've been on the diet for 6 weeks now after reading about it in the DM, I've lost 13lbs so far so here's hoping...

I've noticed it's difficult to get hold of some of the bits n bobs, but Ebay is catching on with that, I get most of my stuff on there and it's been delivered swiftly hope this helps!

good luck to everyone on the diet!

I would use a black vest top under the dress, so you have a seamless black body thing on - no one will know where vest/pants begina dn end. Have used that tactic many times.

:rotfl::rotfl: Thanks for that, it did make me laugh, haven't heard that word (kecks) for a while!! Good idea about the belt though, I've been out & bought one.

Good point, well made (to quote The Royle Family)

If you're going down the BIG KNICKERS route, they have to be nude ones.

I've been out & bought some of them as well.

See, you were being so helpful & supportive in your last post, you had to go & spoil it didn't you!! :rotfl:

Sarah, that's a [STRIKE]sneaky[/STRIKE] good idea for the vest top, thanks, will use that another time.

Right, update on the dress saga. I went & bought the smaller size (16) & it fits!! :j It looks much better on, more fitted around the wasit & bust, so (I think) I look a bit slimmer I can't decide if I like it best with or without the belt I bought, I think both ways look alright tbh :huh: I really don't want to look like Dreary Deidre off Corrie though, she always looks awful with a belt on!! :rotfl: I do need a bit of belly [STRIKE]flattening[/STRIKE] support so hopefully my new nude coloured BIG KNICKERS will help with that So, big sigh of relief, I have an outfit, now I just need my hair sorting out.

Sunny, this dress is a big change for me, I'm a t-shirt & jeans kinda gal as well. I never go out anywhere special so I never wear anything special, iyswim?? Actually, the dress I've bought would be lovely to wear whilst wandering barefoot along the beach on a balmy evening in Cornwall, tis a floatyish summer dress (M&S Per Una but tis not online or I would have linked to it) & I've gone for the long one so it hides my chunky legs!! :rotfl:

Oh & you could have hot buttery scrambled egg on buttered GG crispbreads or Aldi crackers, just leave them long enough for the butter to melt through the crackers so they soften a bit & dig in - lush!!

Yay for success! :T

Yay to sweet.
glad you're sorted.

I had a couple of fab tops off ebay today, so i have something nice to wear if i ever get to go out *rolls eyes*




Might have a drinkypoo tonight, its been a while!

OOH Sweet - soo glad that you`ve got everything sorted, the dress sounds lovely. I`d love to be able to wear something like that on my hols but think that a distant memory will have to see me through

You could always go and book a hol in Cornwall

Hows Hubs doing with his appendix? is there ay chance of it getting sorted out yet?

I went down to the local co-op for some choccy earlier and came back with allsorts of reduced stuff the oven is now on and its rammed full.

I have chicken wings that i`ve seasoned for nibbles, some of their mahoosive sausages, some reduced chilli aberdeen angus beef burgers that are only 1g carb each :j and a huge pack of pork scratchings that i`m currently halfway through. Got two bars of the choccy. I need to make sure that i`ve plenty of this in so that i don`t end up with higher carb subs when i run out.

All in all i feel tons better now, today has been me eating nothing thats actually good for me, tea was two sausages but i shall probably have a couple of the burgers later.

Can`t wait for tomorrow to have a fresh start, i`ve not cheated today but feel like i have IYKWIM so i need a new day for a fresh outlook
