    Em i wouldn't beat yourself up !You've done well. I drank too much wine on fri, was out for dinner fri, lunch yesterday and today! Tried to chose as healthy as i could and no puddings! Going shopping tomorrow for new clothes as the ones i have are too big! Need to look for a hen outfit too. Made some olives yesterday (cheaper than buying the marinaded ones...buy them in brine, drain then add garlic,olive oil and balsamic vinegar and leave to soak) very yummy as a healthy snack.

    In bold; that sounds yummy! I also love olives and never even considered doing that; I am so not a domestic goddess.

    Back from holibobs now and *think* I've put on about 4lbs so back on the diet wagon next week.

    Luckily I have still got about 9 or so months to go.

    In non diet news, we paid the registrar this week so it finally seems real now:eek:

    Right, I know I don't post here often, but I thought I'd say - I'm done!

    2 days to go, and 17lbs lost :D not too shabby!


    That is brilliant; I hope you had a wonderful day and the weather was kind to you.

    I have to admit, neither did i until we were round at friends and they put out loads of different marinaded one, i was thinking they must have spent a fortune until they told me how to make them! Totally never thought of that! Balsamic was my fav but the chilli was good too. 59p for a whole jar in sainsburys then just add flavour yum! Was running late leaving to go shopping, have missed breakfast so trying to think of something healthy to have! I didnt bring a jacket but its not looking nice at all! x

    I managed to put on 2lb last week and have no idea how this happened so I have decided it was the scales that were faulty. Will see what happens this Friday.

    We were out for future SILs birthday on saturday night, and pretty much everyone tried to invite themselves to the wedding who isn't on the guest list, many of them i've never met before! They are all coming on my hen-night too allegedly which they have also planned for me - and it sounded like Hell! Hopefully it will all be lost in a drunken fog and forgotten before i see them again. Also got big florist problems, H2Bs stepbrother is a florist and apparently he is expecting to do the flowers. H2B's stepdad has told him he is, but they are awful people with awful flowers! Family friend of H2B is also a florist and other people have told her she will be doing the flowers. I had already asked a friend who is a florist with i think impeccable taste and design skills to do my flowers, and she will let me help as i love stuff like that. So now the whole of H2B's family have to be told that a complete stranger to them is doing the flowers. 13 months to go!

    So apart from that I had a great weekend!
    When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle.

    Excited, nervous, scared, everything lol.

    I'm just worried that I will have forgotten to sort something and it will be too late. I'm excited about the day but nervous of talking in front of everyone.

    Most things are sorted, still need to buy bridesmaid gifts and need to put labels on the jam jar favours. I'm also organising the day activity of OH's stag do as his best man is rubbish at organising and if I don't do it then OH will only have the evening stuff.

    How about you? 11 days left, you must be really excited now.

    That's good then Olokia. I am sure everything will go perfectly and even if you forget something (which I am sure you won't) it doesn't matter.

    I am so excited! Nerves haven't hit me at all yet.

    Lunch was potato salad, cous cous, salad leaves, cucumber dip and pitta.

    Just got in and eaten the two left over profiteroles in the fridge! oppsss

    Hi everyone I haven't been on a while (The forum has been running too slow for me to spend much time on it!)Anyway after staying the same one week, then putting on a 1lb the next, on my weigh in on Friday I had lost 2lb! Its inscreased my motivation again anyway!Last night - I went to Zumba and went for a run after it!Foodwise - I ahve to say i'm not doing to good at the minute, as I haven't been shopping at all reallyI'm away for a week over easter starting from Friday, and out for dinner tonight and tomorrow so no real point in buying food for one day at home (might have to visit the parents on Thursday night!).I've no lunch in with me today but will get something at the salad bar, and I've got a yoghurt in to snack with.Will have to get some fruit for my morning break too. (Trying to stay away from all the unhealthy food also available in the canteen!)Not sure what diner in my friends is tonight - its something beef anyway.
    Weight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.
