    Daisie, I just got measured for my wedding dress a few weeks ago, I wear 14 on the bottom and usually a 10-12 on top, depending on the shop. My measurements were 39-31-43, which meant my bust was fine for a 14. My hips would have been a 16 but because my dress is A line they would fit the 14, but my waist was in the middle between 14 and 16, so the lady asked me which size I would rather order. I picked the 16 so that i've got room to get the dress altered.

    I know how you feel. I've been off work for 2 months and probably won't start again until September.

    Well I don't have a full day today because I have training (9.30-4 ish) n it's a really good 'relaxing' training session, so I thought I should be able to cope with it. Been on it before n came out feeling really good- its basically a 'pep talk'.

    Well done on your loss Hadley! :)

    This thread has been quite quiet recently...


    13 days to go...

    I'm a little annoyed with one of my cats. She loves getting in boxes and the shoe box for my wedding shoes was on the floor. I went to see what she was doing and she had taken the lid off and was trying to lift the first shoe out. I now have two teeth marks on my shoe.... It's not that noticeable so it'll be fine but still annoying.

    It has...

    Only 13 days! You must be getting excited! :j

    I'm still not back 100%- and haven't been to the gym for 2 weeks! :eek: I feel really bad about it, but I am just not well enough. :( I finish work and am knackered. We have a team meeting tomorrow tho, so I don't have to be in work until 10.30- so I am goin tomorrow morning. :) It is after lunch that I now go zzzzz!

    N not going to the gym made me loose 5lb.... Ok being ill and not eating, but there is still a correlation!
