Hi all

Checking back in I've been MEGA busy since realising how huge my to-do list is, and have achieved quite a lot in the last few days but have missed you gals so much!

First dress fitting yesterday was a disaster. I got so upset about my underarm flab I almost cried. The DM told me nicely that I could go away come back in 10 days to see if I'd tone up any more in that time. Hmm - but I'm taking her up on it anyway. So I'm going back on Wed. 20th. Cutting it a bit fine!!! I'm also considering having tiny cap sleeves put on the dress to conceal the flabby bit when I raise my arm (or even pull my shoulders back). Honestly, I know that it's shallow and stupid, but there you go.

Going to read back and catch up now. Hugs to all xxx

You CAN do it Mel!! I'm kinda following PMcK in a way - in that I'm eating what I want to eat - just in moderation. My unofficial sneaky peek this morning showed I'm actually 12lbs lower than I was at Easter. so it definitely works.

Hold the phone!!!! 12lbs since EASTER???? :eek::j

You're probably right and best with baking then MrsD, to avoid crunchy skins!

We've chosen I feel fine by the Beatles - as long as we can get some moves for it. We seriously cannot even shuffle rhythmically from side to side - so I doubt we'll get the throwing each other around!

I've just found out a good friend is not coming to my hen do, which has upset me a bit That's two that have dropped out this weekend. I'm now down to 4 including me, which is a bit sad. She didn't seem to think it was a big deal, she's going cot-shopping instead - not a great reason to drop out!

Aw, that's really selfish of her, sorry to hear that. I have had the same from one or two supposed good friends, and now my attitude is 'if you don't want to come, fine'. I cba getting upset about it at the mo. Hugs to you xxxx

Is it really naughty of me to be contemplating placing 3 separate M&S orders for the wedding cake? The total order comes to £96 but it's £5 off when you spend £30... I'd probably have to do it from 3 separate email addresses and use 3 separate cards lol...

xx

Not at all!!! I'll be doing exactly the same! If they won't give us 3for2 we'll get our discount this way mwahahahahaaaaa!!!!

p.s. I'm on a REALLY strict diet since yesterday morning (the dress fitting upset me so much I didn't want food anyway). I'm aiming for about 1000-1100 cals a day plus lots of exercise and weights. I know it's not sustainable in the long term but I really really want to be slim in the dress. If I can lose 7lbs in the next 5 weeks I'll be over the moon. Wish me luck xx

Oh, also, can anyone recommend a really good 'invisible' hairspray that holds your hair pretty well (but not rock hard) and doesn't look like a helmet? The one that the hairdresser used was crap, so I am going to bring my own!

Thanks

oH AND i BOOKED A NEW mua - YAY!!!

MrsDrink

I can highly recommend the Tigi Catwalk Session Series Finishing Hairspray. It holds really well but doesn't stink of hairspray My hair dresser recommended it last time I went, and I think Mel said she had some on her dresser side too so it can't be bad

Cor getting up was hard to do this morning.

Well Im being good today and am currently eating a nice salad!

My day hasnt gone quite according to plan though as my usual 30-40 min drive took me almost 3 hours today:eek:! So I was very late, was meant to be going round my friends straight from work but have had to cancel as the moan road I use is still closed- can you all please keep your fingers crossed for me that it doesnt take me 3 hours to get home!!

Hope everyone else is having a better day!!!:D

My heart goes out to you it really does . I cried after my second fitting too. My daughter took a photo of the bottom of the dress length for me and then one of my back fat so i could see how much overhang i had. OMG my arms!! I am having a bolero made to cover with cap sleeves and also i'm going for an instant tan glow on my arms to help a little.

Well done on the salad. I have had 2 boiled eggs and a green salad bag. Damn these arms!

I could barely wake this morning, the alarm clock was a killer. Still i am trying to think it is only 5 and a half school weeks left til we break up again and then it will be wedding week :T I hope your journey home is better.
