Hi Claire, How are you doing hun? Hope things going ok for you. I'm still on the dropweight stuff and at last have managed a 100% day after a blip week. Love the tom soup and bars but not keen on the shakes. Only 2 weeks now till fitting....... getting nervous yet? I have last fitting on Wed and as its getting closer, and i still have loads to do its feeling much more 'real'. Very exciting but do get butterflies if think too much. Need to pick up speed to fit things in, haven't even met photographer yet!!
Hope brother is ok now, did he get his head checked out? xx

Hey
Thanks for your message butterfly - I am struggling at the moment, definately emoitonally eating - very silly, but finding it hard to change the routine. I am gymming, so trying to maintain it out, but so hard the last couple of days.
Lots of things spinning in my head.
I bought some of the shakes in lloyds umm i can't think of the name now...typical - the ones on the telly anyway - and they are vile! Optislim that's them, think I'm going to have to trek to Asda and try the dropweight ones, something has got to give.

Hey Lelly
Just over 6 weeks to go, have postponed dress fitting for a week, so I have 2 weeks to go to dress alterations etc.
I realised we didn't have much in our house at all, and was falling into bad habits, toast for brekkie, sandwich and crisps for lunch, and generally rubbish for dinner - so did a big (BIG) shop last night so feel all fresh today.
Have started with 2 weetabix and skimmed milk today, and will either have meal bar or a bagel and extra light philly for lunch with a banana for lunch.
Our big honeymoon is actually next year, but we're having a 'minimoon' to the lakes after the wedding xx

5 weeks to go - back to 810 to try...to lose some lbs.
Had my make up trial today that went really well - just need to make sure 100% this dress fits as well as it possibly can.
Having just spent £80 on 2 weeks worth of CD, something has got to click.
I have my first hen next Sat - so am just hoping I can shift a fair bit before then to give me a little leeway and then carry on from the Sunday (as it's a small hen so I should def not be hung over) Big hen then the following week! Coming around soooo quickly now.
Have been soooo busy so just not had time to get on here as much as I'd like to but will keep trying xx

trying to keep really really focused, so back to just update.
2 shakes and a caramel bar today - not enough water so will go and top up bottle in a minute.
Tuna salad for dinner - getting rid of the carbs for the next 5 weeks, bar 3 or 4 days to desp try to shift this weight. Hoping the dress alteration place can hold my dress up to the last week for final fitting so that I can lose as much as poss.
I said if I didn't lose the weight by August I never would - but I have not hit that target, and have simply GOT to!

Back to day 2 today, feeling positive at the moment - just hoping this finally shifts something even half a stone would be good, but id love to be closer to the 14lbs loss that I want before the day.
Waiting for alterations shop and church to get back to me today.
Going to feed a friends cats in a little while as they are away, then will probably pop to my nan's with my little boy - maybe go for a little walk or something with them.
Still need to sort centrepieces and table orders etc - not good really - so much to do, so little time! x

Hey Claire, how's things, long time no speak. Hope you're okay. Can't believe how close it is now. I hope you're not panicking too much - I am and mine is 10 months away.
Bet you're excited as well. It's hard not to make the wedding all about the losing weight for me, which I'm trying to make sure it's not. Speak soon xxx

Hi all!!
Yes wedding is edging closer and closer - I can't remember what I did with my time before all this planning lol.
So excited, but wow so much left to do still too.
Can't wait for the day and it's creeping up soooo quickly!
Weight is always an issue, but the dress is in for final alterations now, to hopefully be finished for next week sometime. xx

Hi everyone,
my big hen is tomorrow - having a mini pamper day with manicures, nibbles and drinks (and cupcakes for my mum as it's her bday too) and then going to Comedy Club in the evening. Really looking forward to it, but can't believe once it's over, we are down to only 2 weekends to go! and pick the dress up hopefully "ready" next Thursday!
Food is a nightmare, tomorrow obviously won't be good, and I'm not even going to pretend Sunday won't be 'soaking up alcohol' food, so from Monday have got to reign back in again!
Can't wait to say "I do" now. We had such a lovely, but simple night last night, the 3 of us (our little boy, dp, and me) just sat on the sofa watching Toy Story 2 with some food all shared out, no wedding plans/talk etc, and it reminds you what it's all for. I really do love them soooo much and when they say the simple things in life are Priceless, it's so true xx

Ooooh it's good to have a little normality back for a while! xx
