Is anyone here not trying to lose weight?

Ha I suppose I'm not really trying to lose weight... my dress is pretty much done now (I'm making it... yes STILL making it!) so I'm just going to try and stay the same so I don't have to adjust it lol.

On the other hand I'm going to keep an eye on my food as I definitely don't fancy putting on weight before the wedding!

Ladies... I've been very bad at visiting this site lately... work has been really busy but I still have a few updates from me:

Day invites sent and some rsvps returned already;
Menu tasting done (twice! as didn't like the mains from the first time!) :T;
Church service finalised and rehearsal booked in;
Decided not to go with a florist.
Had another go at the bouquet (see http://smoonbeam.blogspot.com/2012/03/bouquet-attempt-3.html )
Done lots on the dress - it's almost there! see http://smoonbeam.blogspot.com/2012/03/pleats-finished.html
Ordered mr and mrs wine glasses and bridesmaids wine glasses (thank you Groupon!):beer:

One of my bridesmaids is coming round this weekend to help me try out buttonholes and be around for the hair trial! then OH and I are having a trial photoshoot with the photographer.

OK I'll catch up on the thread now and read any many pages as I can to see what you guys have been up to :rotfl:

Congrats Silaqui on the weightloss - a whole stone is very impressive. :T

MrsDrink - you're quite right - it's nobody's business to tell you what shoes to wear or what colour nails to have. Do as you please! Everyone is free to make their comments, but really everyone who cares about you just want you to enjoy the day.

I've not done anything weddingy in the last few days. Our practice photos arrived, and I'm happy the photographers will do a good job. I'm sure we'll look better in July in our glad rags than we did shuffling around in our coats and umbrellas in the March sleet!

Otherwise I've been too busy at work to get much done. I did manage to at least get to my body balance class last night, after I worked late, then my train was cancelled, I called in a favour from a colleague for a lift home, so just made it. The big get fit push will be in April - please hold me to it!

Natalie - Pleased you have made the decision to go with *your* day. I had a work colleague make a cooment about a dress she saw on the internet and how hideous the tulle on it was. My heart sank as it was similar to mine and although i am having a lot of the under tulle/netting removed i still took it personally. Afterwards i though its just her opinion its my day and my style. We could never fulfil everyone elses ideal and why should we!!

WXY - i have watching your blog and it is coming on nicely. Love the dress and no weight worries for you as your dress is a size 6. I couldn't get 1 leg in that :rotfl:

:T:j:T Emma - another 1.5lb gone forever. Shout it and be proud you deserve it.

I hadn't thought of having practice photos done. I'm not big on having my picture taken and feel daft. I am hoping on my day it will just 'happen' and i'll be ok with it. I have asked for no formal shots as i just want natural ones caught at the time rather than really posed. I do have a few posed fun shots in mind though. I can't wait to be the driver of the vintage bus for a photo and H2B as my conductor!

I have all the correct stamps on the invites now so they are ready to go! Little disappointed i have to send them with the wrong RSVP address but its done now. So they will be going out this weekend. My mothers day gift to myself.

wxy- your dress looks amazing.

Melanie- I love the idea of your photo in your vintage bus- it will be so cool.

How is everyone today? Does anyone else think this week is really dragging! Why isnt it Friday today! Ive struggled a bit foodwise this week. Todays food:

Chocolate weetabix
banana, apple, half a yakult drink
boots shapers naan and onion rings
jacket potato, cheese, some low fat smoked sausage and a load of salad.

Plus Ill probably have a chocolate snack later!

Melanie- I think your dress is going to look fab so ignore other people, plus if we all had the same taste in wedding dresses nosing at wedding photos would be boring!!:rotfl:

Babyboots- well done on going to your class yesterday.

Hi, how are you all doing? :beer:

Just back to the PC - was on a course all week at work and never got online in the evenings. Oh my, how many pages have I missed!!!! I'll have a read through, but any big news/updates that I should know about?

I did my WI on Tuesday - 10st3lbs! So I only gained 0.5lbs on hols! I was so chuffed. But I walked MILES every day to offset the eating and drinking (which wasn't TOO bad...). Since getting back I've sat on my a*se most of the time so am hoping not to have gained more at my next WI! I'm well and truly back into the swing of dieting now though, got my protein shakes on the go again, whoop!

I am currently hunting for the perfect wedding shoes (help) and the perfect wedding makeup (HELP). Any advice would be most welcome!

I missed you all btw xx
