Ah, bettyB I feel your pain! I had to measure myself last week for a dress I'm ordering two sizes smaller (eek! Though I have 9 months to fit into it!). It wasn't fun...

When are you hoping to get married? Maybe you could postpone the measurements by a month and give our 30-day shred challenge a go after all? It's supposed to help you lose pounds *and* inches - and apparently can be attempted by complete beginners like me. I'm hoping so anyway!

Lunch ideas... My current lunch fave is Tesco's Light Choices baked potato w/cheese and chive (250 cals each), though that is quite carby I suppose! A low carb lunch I've done recently is a tin of tuna mixed with a little seasoning, natural yoghurt and linseed crackers (also around 250 cals). And there's always sushi if you like that?

Hope the venue viewing went well. xx

Thanks ms shopper - I've got to do my measurements soon as my friend is making the dress and i'm hoping to get married in feb 2012 which doesn't give her much time! Might postpone it to summer/autumn 2012 if we dont find somewhere nice soon. Loved the place we saw at the weekend but it was a bit of a rip off (loads of money for v little) so we're going to hunt around for something with a bit more value and service included.

Lunch wise, I'm still having salads at the mo, but i like the idea of tuna and crackers. Also might try ryvita or oat cakes with ham and light philly. I'm having an apple and some almonds for breakfast as toast/bread's been giving me a stomach ache.

Are you all doing the 30 day shred dvds? they look SO scary! :rotfl:Is there a cheap place to buy them??? :money:

In the meantime, I'm going to start swimming a few times a week, the one part of my gym that's not full of posing men!! Shame they don't have music tho, it can get a bit boring.

I'm sure your belly isn't as bad as you think. I'm totally panicking about my belly and bingo wings.

So, we don't like pizza. And we don't like chocolate. And we don't like chips.

Are we all shredding tonight?

oh yes I dont like pizza, of course, but i did have a little bit for dinner!:o oops! Lol! But I barely ate a thing all day cos i am so busy at work, so was starving when i got in. makes me mad bad choices haven't had choc in a few weeks now tho, and I dont even miss it!!

Note for the green tea drinkers, don't make it with boiling water, it burns it and makes it taste like dirt. let the water cool down a bit and it'll be a lot nicer flavour.

Hope you're all doing well with your shredding!

Ok...so who passed a law that says new batteries in the bathroom scales make them weigh things heavier than they should be! I have been pretty good - not perfect but pretty good and having changed the batteries on Saturday I'm now weighing more. I commiserated by going out for a really gorgeous Italian meal last night (but it was OK - I saw through all of Harry Potter without eating anything )

Morning ladies. Managed to be good last night so go me. H2b offered me a cookie and I just said I was full from dinner. Dinner was a steak baguette so not entirely healthy (I did trim the fat off) but it was nommy and I have the leftovers in today for lunch.

Shovelglove done but not the shred. I was too tired and ended up going to bed at 9:30

Sorry about the nasty scales ellay. Mine aren't pleasing either. All that work and I've STS. Meh.

Go code! I have not been swimming this morning, but talked to OH an we will both go this evening. it will be cheaper then too! I was not so good yesterday, I comedown with a migraine (I am guessing from lack of food/ not enough to drink) So had a packet of hula hoops and rich tea biscuits when I got in. Bad! But then I had small tea. Toad in the hole and veg.

morning all. yawwwwnnnn..

hope everyones is ok

had a very tiring night yesterday. OH was performing but his turn arrived at around 10.30pm, and by then i was so knackered. the people were not funny (except my OH of course, hehe)..there were three women who all talked about their bits.. didnt find that quite funny.. hmmmm

in terms of dinner, thanks for your suggestion girls, i had the leggara (sp?) pizza and it was yummy but i shared it with OH as we were not that hungry at 6.30 and then after the gig, we left the venue at 11.20 and i was starving. ended up having a large chips from Burger King.
im tired and grumpy and achy today

Rups32

ellay ditch those scales. hehe. i hate scales.. so funny when OH weighs himself, he used the stones setting, and when i do, i change it back to the pounds one and he said he knows when i have weighed myself. haha.. i dont know why we have two though. one is the old type and one is a digital one. hate them both. his comment about my belly has made me want to do more belly stuff, but i cant move today and i didnt buy a swim suit, so i cant even go for a swim!! grrr... i need to use the showers at the gym so might try and do some abs and have a hair wash? hmmmmm

In the grand scheme of things hula hoops and rich tea arent the worst choices you could make! Hope you feel better today.

I think its ok when you're poorly. If it helps I'd have gone to chocolate.

Zumba for me tonight. Yay.
