Well done Steph 
That's great
Well I'm with you all on Mexico, but Ash is now being a pain saying he doesn't know what he wants to do but he's not sure if we should spend that much on a holiday.... I could scream, we have the budget and we want something special for our honeymoon.... I wouldn't mind but actually it isn't that expensive for Mexico and what you get included in it is stupid.... there is so much to do which is included ect. and the hotel is stunning. It looks well worth the money

The one I originally loved... I was almost swayed by one in the sample sale, it was def a close second, but I tried on mine again and knew that it was the one. I got 30% off as well, so can't complain wasn't as cheap as the sample one, which almost swayed me the other way, but if I was going on it just looking at the dresses themselves and not the price then mine was the one and as I kept going back to it, I didn't want to regret it on the day or look back at photo's and think oh I wish I'd gone for the other one. I just need to lose my weight now before I go and get measured to have it properly ordered, she said I could do it in Jan, but think I'll do it October so I'm not getting measured just after Christmas

Steph, you make I blush with the compliments!
Its been my pleasure, as we all need just that extra bit of encouragement to spur us on and I love to help out where I can. You are the one who should be complemented tho for the amount of weight you've lost.......would love to see the before and after shots xSent from my GT-N8010 using MiniMins.com mobile app

How lovely Donna.....which dress did you go for in the end? You are going to make a gorgeous bride
Boo sucks to Ash tho......typical man thing lol! Im sure he'll come round to the Mexico honeymoon.....maybe he's a bit nervous about something?! Sounds fabulous tho and very romantic x
Well I'm just back from seeing the shoulder doc......have some impingement going on, but nothing to cause the amount of pain I'm in tho. So, he's now referring me on to a spinal surgeon, as we think its the thoracic disc bulge causing the excruciating pain requiring the nasty daily narcotics I have to take!
We can see an end in site now and staying with doing it all privately, because emotionally, physically and financially I cant take any more. So instead of waiting another 18 weeks, which we would have to do to see a new Consultant on the NHS, hopefully I'll be in next week!

It's the one that showed off my figure. Will try and find the pics again if you want? Didn't take any new one's today.
I know he's a nightmare... I have no idea what it is, as before when he was talking about the cruise (only last night) he knew that would cost the same as Mexico but with more added on (drinks ect.) so who knows, I think I'm going to have to drop the talk for a bit, which is going to kill me as I just want it booked... it's sort of the same as my dress though, we keep talking about other honeymoons and then keep going back to Mexico and that same hotel... so I think it has to be the one
Aww Kim bless you At least you can see the end in sight, I hope it all gets sorted soon though and you at least find out what it is.

That's great about the dress Donna!
We have now booked the photographer, entertainment, venue and honeymoon. So main things money wise are sorted and within budget. Don't think I'm going to go dress shopping until about August this year, depends on the weight loss etc.
I have my neurology specialist appointment tomorrow and hoping they have my blood result back. Sod's law that in the 3/4 weeks since I went to the docs I've not had one headache! However, I have a little pea size lump that keeps popping up and I'm not sure if it's my glands because as you know I suffer chronic with my sinuses etc. Hope to have some answers soon!
Hope you get sorted Kim. You've been a real trooper through all your pain and I'm really hoping you get sorted ASAP. Sending big hugs and kisses xxx

Awe Kim fingers crossed they can fix you. You must be demented to the max. Good days and bad you still manage to support all of us
Well done you!!!! Congratulations x
8 st 8.75lb today. Am not doing very well at all in shifting weight.
I have been exercising now 26 days on the trot and any water retention etc must be gone.
Can't really be bothered stressing over it to be honest though i keep weighing every week when i know i shouldn't as the numbers piss me off.
Keep trying lol

Right telling off coming now lady........the last thing in the world you need right now is to be stressing about losing weight and the commitment that comes with it. Moving house and a break down in a relationship is up there in the top 5 of the most stressful things in a persons life, so you've got 2 of them going on!
There is a hormone called cortisol which gets released when a person is stressed which can make losing weight that much harder, because it slows down your metabolism, so that could be one of the reasons you are struggling at the moment.
You are exercising daily, you're toning up, which will make you look slimmer.........
So Deb, thats my telling off over.......stop worrying about it too much at the moment! Trying to eat healthily, plus your exercise is far better than stressing about trying to see numbers change on the scales!

Sounds like your pretty organised... I couldn't hold off on the dress shopping... although this one will only look better when I lose a bit of weight (and I'm not planning on loosing loads and loads as long as I'm between 9 stone and 9 and a half when I get measured I think I'll be happy, as I'm keeping up my running and that seems to keep me looking toned but weighing a little more then when I didn't run)
Donna great news on the dress. Your very organised..here is hoping your beloved changes his mind and you get the honey moon you want
I'm sure he will, I don't know what's gotten into him, we've always said we wanted to have a great honeymoon as it's a once in a lifetime thing. I suppose he's freaked out because of the amount we're also spending on the wedding, but again-once in a lifetime and it's not like we don't have the money saved up from different things anyway.
Your treat meal sounds gorgeous Kim
I was really good yesterday food wise
but today will be off plan again as it's my brothers party-but after that I plan on getting straight back on plan tomorrow I have had a gain over the past few weeks, which was expected.... I'm a bit disappointed in myself as I had managed to get into the 9's again, BUT at least I had got into the 9's otherwise if I hadn't done all that work before who knows what I would weigh now.So I am starting the challenge at 10 stone 3 and a half..... bring on those 9's again.
