Wedding Diet Thread....

MsShopper

Morning everyone!

I'm in a very good mood today as it's Wednesday. (The weekly mag I work on goes to press on a Tuesday, so this is always my quiet/catch-up day, which is looovely!)

Code, sounds like you need to ease up a bit on yourself. I bet Rups is right - your body is teling you you need sugar - either that or delicious chocolate, nougat and caramel. Mmmm....

Jo, scuba diving sounds fab, though I can't imagine ever getting into one of those suits. They'd have to oil me in or something!

bettyB, I'm the same as you about the gym. I always feel blobby, red and sweaty (the millions of mirrors confirm it as true!) and everyone else looks like they're having a relaxing stroll... Oh, and I get married at the end of May next year (nine months to shift the weight!).

Speaking of which, I had an odd experience yesterday - I was the slimming equivalent of Mystic Meg. The dressmaker I'm ordering my dress and bolero jacket from asked for my measurements, and since I'm ordering two sizes below (!!) I had to guess. So now I not only have a weight loss target, I also have hips, waist, bust, under bust, upper bust and arm girth targets too! :eek:

ah that sounds so nice and romantic :0). at least you wont be beating each other up, like we do in Kung fu. lol

Rups32

hey ms, how you doing? it just hit me its Wednesday too. yay!1

i am sure you have time to lose where youneed to lose weight, but also dont start being too hard on yourself, otherwise it just ends up being a mess and sressful
so true about the gym though. i never use the gym thankfully, but i always see posers there, inc girls who really shouldnt be there, as have seen some even brush their hair or just watch themselves all the time in the mirror! LOL

Hmmm. Kung fu you say..... Hehehe. I have this really odd image of you and your oh dancing to kung fu fighting for your first dance and doing really exaggerated kung fu poses.

Ms, I look rubbish in the gym too. Like a beetroot with hair that's been ducked in water. These women who don't break a sweat aren't working hard enough.

Rups32

LOl i agree code. they just there for showing off!! grrrr

your so funny saying that. we are naming our tables after martial artists. lol. so people we dont like can be at the 'steven seagal' table. ewwww

MsShopper

Thanks Rups! I know you're right. I'm determined to keep this whole weight and wedding thing as stress-free as possible. Though that's easier said than done sometimes! I don't think I was too ambitious with the measurements - I can always get the dress taken in a bit if needed. (Ooh, wouldn't that be good!)

How are you getting on? Did you sort your wedding list stuff in the end?

Code, I agree! Someone should start up a poser-free gym...

Rups32

Believe it or not, but our invites are still not done!!LOL. i am not going to stress, as people know about it anyway. its my mum who drives me insane about it. she didnt even ring the invite guy last week and i wasted a journey going to her and then ringing the guy to find that he was busy, so this weekend, we are def doing it. I will try not to get stressed but its my mum who makes me go mad!!!

other than that, things are getting there. little bits and bobs need doing :-) have you started all you venue planning etc now? I say the more time you have, the worse it is!! lol. we will have 9 months from when we got engaged, and its enough to drive anyone mad!!! my manager planned her wedding date last month, and in one month she has done so much. she is getting married in oct as well, and she seems so calm. grr

Ms, can I ask how much you have to lose? Cant find your original post. Cause its easier to lose weight the further away from your healthy weight you are. If you're near your healthy weight, 2 sizes might be too ambitious, whereas if you're quite far away, it might be possible. Did that make any sense?

I gave in and had a mars bar in the hope that my blood sugar was just low. Now I have a headache and I still feel sick

Rups32

Strangely, my bp is perfect as is my glucose level but I get so grumpy if I don't get fed regularly. Sugar didn't help much (delicious though). I think I just have a bug. Hehe you should have seen ohs face this morning when I said I was feeling sick.
