Natalie - I love the shoes!

It sounds like everyone's doing really well with the diet. As inspired by all of you, I downloaded a calorie counter app to track what I eat lol! It's really useful actually as it's making me a bit more careful about food and exercise I would recommend it!

Wedding photos wise, are you guys getting a photobook provided too? I'm going to pull that together myself to keep costs down but I just wondered what you are all doing? any preferred websites to sort out the photobooks?

Welcome back Wanchai- I was wondering where you were! How was your holiday? You did so weel to only put on half a pound, theres no way I could be that good on holiday!!:D WHat kind of shoe do you want?

wxy (are you Alice?)- We will just be getting our photos on a disk to start off with, then eventually we will get a photobook, I havent looked into it yet though!

Thank goodness its the weekend- its been such a long week!

Evening!
Wanchai, how do you go on holiday and only gain 0.5lb. That is brilliant. It my big weigh in tomorrow. However i have just had a curry with H2B, so it might not be great, however i only ate half what i normally would have had in days of old. Result.

I am getting my photos on a disc then we will put together our own scrapbook. I want to make a scrapbook of the honeymoon too.

So what kinda shoes are you looking for Wanchai?? - shoe shopping is my favourite sport!

PinkPrincess83

Shoe shopping is defiantely the best type of shopping!:D

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow Melanie. I think that as long as you have naughty things in moderation (and go for the slightly healthier choices, ie not a creamy curry and eat the whole lot) youll be fine.

I made a good choice I think. Tikka chicken starter, vegetable biryani mains. No naan, no bhaji and a little taste of his balti sauce. Mmmm.

Ooh now i fancy shoe shopping!! I am supposed to be looking for a new mirror for the new lounge.

Hi everyone

Well I have had a horrendous week at work so have decided to sod the diet today and have chips for tea! (I'm actually still 3(!) calories under my allowance though so it's all good - didn't get time to eat lunch!)

Our inspection seems to have gone well though, just waiting for the final verdict now. But next week I will have to catch up with all the stuff I couldn't do this week so it will be another busy one!

All our day invitations went in the post today so hopefully we should start to hear back from them in the next week or so.

I was going to go into town with OH to pay for the suits this week but crazy schedules mean the only days we've got together are Sundays and it's closed then. So I am half thinking whether to pay off the last bit of the honeymoon the suit money and then use next months honeymoon money for the suits... decisions!

Well done on being good Wanchai! Its so hard when you are out of your normal routine, you've done really well. What sort of shoes are you after?

I still haven't tried my wedding dress on again and all indicators (apart from the chippy tea!) are pointing to a loss again this week - I really hope it can be taken in, don't want the hassle or expense of finding another one, such an effort!

Mel- Im slightly jealous you had chips! I so want chips (apart from nicking the odd one from ohs plate I havent had chips in ages!! Fingers crossed the ofsted has gone really well. I think you should pay off the balance of the honeymoon! :j on sending out some invites.

Mel- its difficult isnt it- Im now at the weight that my dress should fit nicely, I would like to lose a bit more, if it comes off my legs and bum I would be fine for my dress, but if it came off my top half Im not sure if my dress would then be too big!

Ive had a few more rsvps. I was chatting to my uncle the other day online and he asked if I would be offended if he didnt come to the day- I resisted having a bridezilla strop and said as long as he comes in the evening Ill be happy (my mum and sisters were really surprised he isnt coming). I said to them I cant be bothered to get upset- as long as me and my oh get married I dont care, and if people chose not to come they will be missing out on a lovely day.

5lb loss!!!!!!!! Really pleased with that. I know it's not all fat but it's a good start and enough incentive to keep going. Paul McKenna is my new favourite man. I've set myself a target of 2lbs this week.

We posted our day invites today. So excited :j :j been a good day all round. Also watched my neighbour go off to her wedding today. She had a huge cream Rolls Royce turn up for her (surprise from Groom). I got real butterflies seeing her.

Emma well done on keeping your Bridezilla under control. Haha.
I think i'll find it hard not to take personally if someone doesn't accept my invite. If there on holiday or have a family crisis then ok but I think with the huuuge notice they should 'try' to attend. Did your uncle give a reason? I like your attitude though and I hope to adopt the same. It's our day and if you don't want to share the party then don't come!!

Well after ohs brother said he couldnt come I have just come to the conclusion that as long as we are there thats all that matters, and I cant be doing with getting myself upset. He did a reason, and although it could be valid, if he really wanted to be there he could be so this is why I just decided to have the attitude 'oh well, youll be missing out on a lovely day':D. If he doesnt come in the evening though I will be upset.

Well done on the 5lb loss, thats amazing.

Ps- I had some chips tonight! I dont think my stomach is liking it very much though as Im getting little pains so I dont think my stomach is used to chips anymore! (not sure if thats a good or bad thing!!)
