Hi Elz,
Its lace up, its so gorgeous, but I have been back to the shop this morning to have another fitting because I'm so worried about it beng too big on the day, I mean I can try not to lose weight but with pre wedding stress and the fact that I am eating the SW way without thinking about it and I really don't want to put any weight back on I thought it would be better that way, might have to have it taken in a little bit....
hope you feel better after your flu

Hi Kerry that should reassure you a bit then? It sounds gorgeous!!! I'm feeling bit miserable and lovely having spent virtually a week without leaving the flat. But am looking forward to getting out later for food shopping and back to work tomorrow and back to gym! Well might start with couple of walks first but was feeling so motivated! X

Hey ladies, sorry not been on for a while. Had so much crap going on. Kerry, was good that you got to the shop again. I'm worried too about losing weight unintentionally, but also feeling a bit fed up as fitting tomorrow and told I can't lose anymore after that, but still not in the 11s. Was a size 12 before I put on weight and loads of my clothes still don't fit Need to lose another stone before they do, so kind of feel like I've failed.
At the beginning, having been a size 12 before, I wanted to be a 10 for my wedding and I won't be, so feel a bit deflated. Think it's work and wedding stress too.
Elz - sorry you've been feeling fed up hun. It's horrid when you're stuck at home and can make you feel pretty miserable. A good walk does usually help, getting some fresh air.
I'm struggling at the moment with stress/feeling fed up - my only employee handed in her notice the other week, so was panicked about who would look after the business when I'm away. Thankfully old employee is going to temp.
Also had funeral to go to, then my business landlord is having a massive legal battle with the building's owner, so have decided to move out of the offices. Didn't really want all this 2 weeks before I'm due to finish work, but can't leave it for anyone else to deal with. So we're hired a removals van for not this weekend but next to pick up everything. It's our last weekend before the wedding and could do without it really.
This weekend it's OHs stag and my second hen (for friend whose dog died, so didn't get to come to my hen), then hair appointments, another fitting.
All a bit too much and am an emotional wreck hope this isn't too depressing, but just wanted to explain why I've not be on much.

Awwwwwww Liz sorry to hear that. Firstly though you have achieved a great weight loss not FAILED at all! After the wedding you can restart the diet and get to a size 12 or 10, and whatever size u r....u will be marrying a man u love and celebrating with your nearest and dearest. Although I totally get why you might feel disappointed don't lose sight of what you achieved!
I got out and you're right I feel much better. Hope everything works out ok for you with work and stuff it does all tend to happen at once. Sending u a massive hug and positive thoughts xxxxxxx

bless you Liz, sounds like you're having an awful time of it all. Elz is right, you've achieved a fantastic loss and you need to be proud of yourself. Keep your focus on the amazing day you're going to have with your new husband.
And don't worry about being too depressing on here, we're all here to support each other, good and bad
I gained 3 pounds this week, not unexpected - hen do, fish and chips, PMT week, but its ok cos dress was too big anyway, have been to shop this morning and the lady has taken dress in about 4 inches, looks miles better and I feel loads better about it.
Hope things look up for you soon Liz, we are here for you if you need to unload xx

Thanks both of you, you're really kind Feeling more positive today. Getting on top of work finally and went for fitting and she's put the lace up back in. Needs taking in at the top and letting out slightly at the hips, then taking up. Good news is I can carry on losing until next fitting on 4th June. So am feeling happier today.
Wow Kerry, 4 inches is amazing. Did you get any pics? I didn't, as it's not properly fitted yet so would look odd if you know what I mean. Bet you were pleased seeing it again.
Elz - thanks for the hug and lovely words.

good to hear you're feeling more positive Liz, and thats also good news you can carry on losing til 4th June.
I didn't get any pics, I went on my own this time, but I will for sure post some pics of the big day itself. I've got room for manoevre in my dress now, either get a bit bigger or a bit smaller. Will try and stick to plan but things running away with me now, not being as organised as I should be with food and shopping. Just before the wedding I've got 6 x 13.5 hour shifts on the trot so will have to be super organised for food.

Hey ladies.
Kerry I know exactly what you mean. It's really hard. Wedding is a week tomorrow and I have a list as long as my arm of things to do. Having nightmare with my car, which broke down another 3 times, went to get fixed, but died on the way home.
Got courtesy car at the mo, but could do without the stress really.
Just wish the day would hurry up.
On the plus side I have ordered some lovely presents for OH. Got a photo montage done of all the pics of us together. Created it myself in Picasa and then ordered it on canvas. It's huge and only cost £36. Also got him a watch. Ordered some prints to put into the 'my beautiful groom' journal. It's all coming together.

Loads and had nightmare with car still. Went into work today to do handover (as only day I'm not doing stuff) and Ford garage called to say the part they fitted hasn't worked, so had to get Dad to take it over to specialist an hour away. They're looking at it Thursday. So have to go to airport in OH's car. Dad will be dealing with it all whilst we're away.
Tomorrow - 10am nails (gel toes and hands, 3.5 hrs!), then my dresses and bridesmaids dresses to pick up. Pack cases
Wed - 10am cats at cattery, 11am take dog to Parents, pick up cake. Go food shopping for guests, make up beds, do fake tan, do brazilian hair treatment, shave/epilate
Thu - pick up bouquets (doing those myself), guests at 12, take everything to venue.
Feel very calm strangely enough. Cannot wait!!!

Thanks hun. No longer calm! Today has been a horrible stressful crap day. Driven for about 4.5 hrs for various appointments, all of which overran, so was late.
Smashed my favourite ornament.
Then OH just called to say his cousins wife is now no longer going to be at sea (Navy), so can she come? It's 3 days FFS, I've done the table plan, we're ordered chair covers, given final numbers. Feel like saying 'no f*ck off' basically.
People are so inconsiderate. Not having 1 person make the room look crappy because they have no chair cover, aren't on the table plan and have no place card. Don't they understand what an rsvp is? Pr*cks. So annoyed. Scuse the language.
Going to have to take one of my tranquilizers (for the flight) now because I'm so riled up. I keep bursting into tears.
Hope you run up is going a little better than mine Kerry.
Sorry Elz - was going so well! xxx

aw Liz, bless you sounds like its so stressful!
Damn the people! sounded like you were so organised but someone has to mess it up for you.
Hope you get everything sorted hun.
Things are going ok for me really, mainly because have been at work so not time to stress about anything or do anything about anything, 6 x 13.5 hour shifts in a row = no time for anything but sleep in between.
My proper run up will start tomorrow.
Thurs
1pm manicure
then pay for balloons and pick table decs up
4pm pick dress up and take to friends house
then pack my suitcase for honeymoon (OH has done his already, thought it weighed 23kg until I told him that was pounds on the scales upstairs lol he's a proper stresshead too, thought he would have to leave stuff at home )
and pack little cases for night before and wedding night
fri
before 930am - flowers arrive at friends house,
930am body scrub,facial, brows and pedicure
1230ish drop dogs off at kennels,
after that take cake, table decs, place cards etc to hotel
then chillax at friends house with a glass of wine or 2
then its the big day Sat.
Aw Liz, hope everything settles for you and you can enjoy the couple of days before your wedding

thanks both of you
Much calmer now, but only just stopped. Have tanned me and OH!
Your days sound manic too Kerry, but lots of nice things in there.
Pretty sure I'm going to be around 12.2 tomorrow, so not bad. Happy with that and just looking forward to day now.
Won't be on tomorrow, so just want to say thanks to both of you for all the support. Have a lovely day Saturday. We'll have to all catch up after honeymoons etc xxx
