I really want cake now!!

Those cakes youve linked look fab, Im sure yours is going to look just as good.

I'm not even looking at cake. I weighed myself this morning and nearly cried - I am now officially the heaviest I've been since I lost all my weight with Tesco Diets (I'm not back to where I started but if I don't do something about it I could end up back there). Anyway I have been a good girl today (hence why I'm not looking at cake).
B - branflakes, weetabix and dried fruit
L - left over home made beef stroganoff with boiled veggies
T - peri peri chicken with dry roasted veggies
S - 1 hotel chocolate choc
E - 20mins of Davina top fit DVD
Tomorrow it is 21 weeks to our wedding - I REALLY want to lose 21lbs.

I don't know - when I'm off work there is very little posting apart from me talking to myself lol, but now I'm back at work you lot all come out to play - ha I could get a complex!

Oh Natalie- hope your ok, you can do it and you know you can. 1lb a week is so doable. YOU CAN DO IT!!:D

My food today has been
half a bowl of porridge
yoghurt drink and banana
leek and potato soup
Salted popcorn
6 baby plum tomatoes
1 cheese and ham kiev, 2 goujons peas and new potatoes
1 bag of mini cadburys fingers

According to my fitnesspal app I am just within my cals so although it isnt great its within moderation.

Hey. Thanks for all the support guys. Am feeling better about the invites today. As you said must people won't notice anyway. I got them done prof and it was their mistake so have emailed them about my displeasure. I will try to get a picture up but for some reason will not let me copy the picture from my file and paste it on here. I gave one to all my wedding party as most of them want to keep them.

I have managed to get hold of the letting agency after almost 24 hours. Am now waiting for their electrician to contact me (no idea how long that is going to take). The letting agent did say they put it down as urgent.

It's their mistake? That's terrible! :eek:

Hope you get the oven sorted soon, nightmare being without it in this cold weather xx

Bouldering is climbing at a lower height, practicing techniques and you're not attached. So not too rude. When we were in the 'pit' you don't necessarily come straight down the wall, more like hanging out slightly... and H2B's bum came flying towards my face.... as much as I love him, I did not need his bum in my face hehe

I think charcoal grey will look nice Tracey, I much prefer it to black as a wedding colour. It'll look great with ivory and claret!

I still need to make a definitive list - I can see it now being the morning of the wedding and here's me going "oh !!!! I forgot to buy a bra!"

Most things are pretty sorted I think, I still need to sit down and figure out the guest list with OH, and then write the invites. Should really get this done this week as we are seeing some friends next week which will save on stamps

Re: cake - we are probably going to go for an M&S cake - we'll buy it nearer then time as we'll have a better idea of how much we need, but I'm sure last year they were on 3for2? Does anyone know if this is a regular thing?

Still to sort:
For me
*Underwear
*Jewellery (maybe) I have a necklace/earrings that I wore when I first got my dress that looked really nice with it, but it's only from George at Asda :rotfl: tempted to get something a bit 'better' but don't wanna spend the money and also it means having to put my dress on to test it out which is a faff.
*Tights - is anyone going to wear tights/hold ups? I dunno? Might get some of those M&S cooling ones that make your legs feel cold.

For OH
*Present - dunno whether to get him anything really. After all, he does get me! And I've bought him a wedding ring (well it was free with tesco points). Socks maybe
*Suits are chosen just need paying for, he is sorting fittings etc.
*Somewhere to stay with his dad and brother the night before. Probably quite important this. Waiting on him to find out what his dads doing.

General
*Guest List - need to sit and finalise.
*Invite-bloody-ations. When PITA task above is done. (why do SOME PEOPLE have to have huge families that means you don't have enough room for friends?
*Favours - not sure if bothering as I don't think I'll have set places at the tables, being as it's a buffet type thing. Can't be doing with seating plans.
*Centrepieces - all sorted with Dad but just need to know how many tables there will be.


Can't be arsed to think of anything else as I'm not in the mood lol!

That post was so totally rambly lol sorry!

xx

Same as you, I need a detailed list of things to do! I WILL forget stuff otherwise!!!

I've been told that M&S iced wedding cake tiers are always on 3for2 in summer xx

I'm not wearing tights, it'll be July and I don't want a sweaty crotch! :rotfl:

Agree about the guest, total pain!

Oh (((((hugs))))) I've been where you are, so very recently. I know how you're feeling xxx

Now for the pep talk: YOU know that you can turn this around! 1lb a week is very realistic - but only if you start now! Not next week, or next month! I have the same amount to lose and 3 fewer days to lose it in! We can do it!!!!!!!!!! Come on Natalie!

Having said all that, I am dreading my WI tomorrow.:rotfl: If I even STS I will be happy. I ate too much at the weekend

I am giving up sweets, chocolate, biscuits, cake and crisps for Lent and fully intend to eat some junk tomorrow as a 'last supper'-style mini pigout. But after that... it's total discipline all the way! :T

MrsDrink

Good morning all
Awww - thanks for you all worrying about me - I feel good this morning - after having a good day yesterday. I will have another good day today and another one tomorrow

I just want to know when my first dress fitting is so I have something concrete to work towards (cause obviously the wedding date isn't ha!)

God I'm tired this morning! Bring on the weekend!

:rotfl:no complex required. I tend to have more time when i am sat at my work computer all day. I use my down time to have a quick catch up but when the hols come round i'm usually out and about busy!
As for the weight thing i have yo-yo'd my entire life. I find maintaining my weight loss harder than the actual losing it!

Not thought about giving anything up for Lent. Perhaps i could use this time to give up something small. I couldn't do your whole list all at the same time :rotfl:

I am trying to source a nice dress suitable for a Summer ball wedding in June. TK Maxx website has some lovely ones but i'm unsure on their sizes as previously i have found they tend to be american labels and they are different to the UK.
http://www.tkmaxx.com/dresses/blue-occasion-ball-gown/invt/53025159 -this is my fave choice.

http://www.tkmaxx.com/dresses/royal-blue-glitter-trim-chiffon-dress/invt/53059434 - like the shape but not sure on the sparkle. Does it look cheap?

Honest replies please!! I won't be offended and please feel free to point me in any direction of these sort of dress websites or shops. (Love Monsoon but can't afford it!)

I got three R.S.V.P today. Really excited as started to feel real.

I have not received a reply from the person about the invites. Prob because I ordered them on ebay and had already left feedback so they don't really care. Is just so annoying.

Day 6 with no oven. My OH spoke to the letting agent yesterday and had a major moan, they tried to fob him off by saying we should have contacted them earlier. When he said we had tried but they were all out of the office they apologised. He finally spoke to the engineer who said they could come out on Saturday!!!:eek: This was not good enough and he said he would get back to us. This morning whilst out seeing midwife got a phonecall saying on way round. Advised not in as not been contacted to say they were coming round and they said would call back. Now playing the waiting game again.

It was my birthday yesterday and got really spoilt. Baby decided to stay in and hope he stays in today as its my OHs birthday today. Was advised if not here by 15th March that is when I will be induced. xx

I love the first one, but also think the second one is nice and doesn't look cheap.
