Hmmm didn't think about that! Have to get some one to do them up, n will have to get OH to undo them!!

Oh God, hope you can keep the buttons, I love the buttons on my dress!!!
I have to lose a bit off my boobs/back as the chest on mine is quite snug, but I WILL do it. 
Just been to Holland and Barratt (penny sale still on) and bought lots of supplements - acai + green tea, zinc, milk thistle and aloe vera colon cleanse. I'm hoping that they will help my weight loss and also make my skin look better

Thanks! While I thought I would love a corset to give me a tiny waist, when I tried it on the other day it already gave me a tiny waist!

I already drink green tea Wanchai, drinking five cups a day increases your metabolism the equivelant of 100 cals. But 1 cup won't burn 20... Unfortunataly! :rotfl::T0 -
Umm - did think about green tea etc. But don't really like the taste. Is it as bad as I remember??0

I can only drink green tea if its really weak. Not sure if it still has the metabolism incresing properties if its not properly brewed?0

i drink green tea quite weakly. i always think whether it's doing me any good or not, it is better than drinking regular tea or coffee.
i stood on the scales this morning and they said i have lost another 1lb...i looked at the state of myself in the mirrored wardrobe and i can't for the life of me see where it's come off from! i have not been eating as well as i should. i am blaming wedding stress! anyone having their wedding near august this year?? i am finding the stress starting to build now with less than 3 months to go. getting invites out, doing the wedding list, making decisions on food, evening food and canapes, trying to lose weight for a dress fitting and my job is really busy too. i am fit to be tied! please someone tell me i am not alone!!
also, does anyone know how many calories are in a foxes crunch cream?? i just had one and it was lovely! supposed to be going to zumba tonight to burn it off after i give piano lessons after work, but at the moment i am exhausted!!Save 12k in 2014 (my target: £10 000):

I hate corset backs - no offence to anyone who likes them, but I knew all along that no way would I even consider having one. My dress also nips me in at the waist, which is perfect as I have a relatively small waist and big bum. :rotfl:Umm - did think about green tea etc. But don't really like the taste.

I don't like the taste either - can also only drink it weak. I quite like green tea with mint, though. Is that just as good?
Food so far today: 2 protein shakes and a portion of low fat Greek yogurt. Oh and all my new H&B capsules!
I'm having nothing else until the restaurant and will try to be sensible! Only one glass of wine too!

Hey, 1lb is 1lb!!!
My wedding is in July so if you think you're stressed now, wait till next month! :rotfl: Life is HECTIC atm, I have simply got to find time to exercise but it is hard with all the wedding stuff too. I feel your pain!!! :A
No idea re calories, I'm off all biscuits until after the wedding! But don't worry, at least you didn't eat the whole packet

My dress has a corset back, which is good for me since I'll probably need to be pulled right in on my wedding day! And also a good point about how buttons can be fiddly to get out of at the end of the night! I was never fussed about having a corset back or buttons when I was looking for my dress. I figured since it was going to be behind me, I wasnt going to worry about it.0
