Wedding Diet Thread....

Haha I know that feeling. When I do a budget for our incomes to work out what we can afford to pay off my professional studies loan and then start saving for a deposit we never have as much left as we should! It's all the little bits that add up.

MY wisdom tooth is growning again and is really achy

Hey - my mum has called to confirm that those invites that she has addresses for have been posted:j Finally.

mabe it is different in different areas, but everyone this end was making us panic. Tiara (:wave: ) you are much more patient than me... i ended up with the firm deadline. and to be fair he did put together a list. But, note the first line of this post... the ones without addresses our largely his. men eh!!!

Hi all

Can I join in? I've got just under 9 weeks to go, and have lost 8.5lbs so far, but would really like to lose another 10-12lbs! Is that doable?

I am desperate to look good in my dress, need to lose more fat and tone up my arms. I've been dieting mainly, but am going to step up my exercise regime and aim to do a bit of exercise every single day, with the odd rest day. Yesterday I went to the gym for 3 hours, I felt sooo good afterwards! I've promised to go to the gym every day this week. Starting 12 sessions of personal training next week, and have booked 6 sessions of ultrasound lipo as well. I have to do this! It's amazing how motivated you get as the date gets closer! :rotfl:

Trying on my dress at the weekend gave me a good kick up the bum, my arms just look so flabby and I made a mental note right then to do all I can to shift the lbs. I just need some company

Ooops, sorry for the ramble xxx

Hi Hadley...we plan to send ours out this day next week for 11 August and people have been saying to us that we are sending them out very early! I'm not sure of it's a Northern Ireland thing or something to send them quite close to the wedding?? Me, my boyfriend and my best friend spent all day yesterday making the day invites! We had 75 to do, it was really hard work and not even completely finished yet! We have them sitting under heavy books and have RSVPs to stick once the glue has dried and they are well stuck together.

I sent ours out in mid/late April for July and everyone said the same thing! We Irish peeps are so laid back, apparently 6 weeks before is the norm here lol. I LOVE getting RSVPs

Hi Wanchai - welcome. Am impressed 3 hours at the gym. Wow, an hours about enough for me.:o I need to get moving on the old exrecise as well.

Umm maybe it is an irish thing - everyone does seem more laid back than down here in Kent (though am typing this Essex as i work there). Can't wait to get some RSVPs now.

Hey Wanchai! :wave:

I am also looking to loose another 10 lb ish. 3hours at the gym... Wow! I have spent that there before, but I do swimming and eat lunch there as well do I assume that doesn't count! :rotfl: goig again tonight, cos I have a meeting with a seamstress on Wed, n she will see if anything can be done with my dress. I will want to be as small as possible!

We weigh in Thurs evening/ fri morning if you want to join us, but it appears from ur sig that you favour a Tuesday!

Wow three hours at the gym Wanchai, that is very impressive!

I am so hungry today had normal poridge breakfast, then lunch was carrot and cucumber sticks, grapes, yougurt coated raspberries and a cerial bar (which I had at around 11.30). Think I will have to have something when I get in before DH gets home.

I don't think now for August is early. It will practically be June! It will only what, nearly 2 months?? N if people have to book accommodation etc it's best to be prepared. We r sendin our (first batch at least) invites out in June. But RSVP date of 1st Sept. and we have people coming from abroad, so they need to book flights etc.

Aye I know what you mean about accomodation, but ours is very close to home (church 1 mile and reception 7 miles) and those coming abroad or mainland UK were contacted a number of months ago by email and phone regarding flights/accomodation etc. Invites are more of a formality really for them. And important people knew the date by word of mouth, like a year ago! Sounds awful, but I have been forced into having a big wedding and will actually be delighted if some people can't make it so we can get the numbers down a bit!

Thanks for the welcome girls

I'm going to the gym again tonight, am feeling a little stiff after yesterday but not too bad, as I had a jacuzzi at the end and that massaged my muscles. I was properly going for it, even my hair was dripping with sweat by the end of the session! :rotfl: The Runaway Bride was on the TV in the gym so I got really engrossed while on the treadmill and bike, that's why I stayed so long.

johanna - I know what you mean, the dress is the motivation that we need really, isn't it!

Yes, Tuesday is my WI day. It keeps me focused at the weekend!

Hi everyone and welcome to the new people

I am sooooooo tired...stupid OH is not sleeping at the moment cos he's stressed at work and last night we got hardly any sleep at all. When that 5.30am alarm went off it was like being in hell. And I had my first full day today (as in - back to back lessons, no frees) since being off ill but I DID IT.

I have got two pork chops out of the oven to do something with for dinner but I feel quite uninspired. I really, really, really, really fancy cake...

johannalf88

I am going to the gym tonight too. Need to after the cake! :eek: I have to go home first though, which is never a good idea...
Well if Wanchai is going...! It always worked when Rups said she wa going, I would feel ba if she went and I didn't! :rotfl:
