Thanks Jael :D I looked more like a mouse but hey I made an effort :p

Haha no didn't wear them driving just had my face painted :D
 
Lush! You look fab Hun!

I sooooo want your hair, like really. I just bleach mine and I'm so sick of the tacky look but tried to go more natural last year and it went wrong so I reverted back. Have no idea how to get gorgeous very light blonde with lovely natural shades too, I so want that though exactly like yours.

I did go to a salon for the first time in 13 years a year or 2 ago and I wasn't happy with it at all so I put bleach back through it after a few months because it just looked multicoloured with brown, orban, blonde. I was a natural blonde before I started messing with colours in my teens, wish I'd never started now though, iv been bleaching my own hair since I was 14!

Anyway babbling aside, very best of luck for WI tomorrow hun :D xx
 
Haha thanks I did really enjoy dressing up!

Ahh cheers hun, I used to bleach mine but now happy with how it is! Yeah mine went a bit tacky looking, found the best home hair dye was the nice and easy range as it went purpley blue toned which stops the brassy, gold, yellow tones. Over the past 2 years though I’ve been having highlights as didn’t like the block colour and found I was getting really bad roots. Now I’ve gone more natural and have a darker blonde and my usual light blonde that I used to have all over as highlights ran through. A t-section is quite cheap and don’t have to have a whole head that often.

Yeah I wished that I hadn’t started dying my hair too but everyone else was and my naturally blonde hair was getting darker. If you look on my fb theres some pics of when I was a child and I was white blonde. I’d deffo recommend highlights as the roots aren’t bad and I can go a while between appointments but when I was block colouring I was having to do it every 6 weeks.

I do like being blonde though :D

Thanks, the big WI tomorrow! xx
 
Oh fab thank you, What do I need to have done first though with it already being bleach blonde all over? Will they dye it darker blonde then just put the light highlights through that to achieve it? What did you do?

Sorry for all the questions lol I really want that look :) xx
 
When I went to a salon I took pictures and everything, explained it all, but they dyed the underneath very dark blonde and just put streaks of orban through the rest. Hated it so bleached it and gave up xx
 
Have just explained all that in a message to my local hair salon including a pic of OHs sister t show what I want haha see what they say and. Might be going in for a big change! :) Night Hun xx
 
Good luck for WI Minnie and good luck with hair colour ED.
My hair was very dark brown almost black but now it is grey.:( I have it coloured with three shades of blonde but 6 weeks ago I had it coloured at a different hairdresser because she was a good bit cheaper. What a waste of money it is a mess :eek: so next Friday I am going back to my usual hairdresser and having it done my usual way and to hang with the expence. :D
I think it is important to be happy with other aspects of your appearance while you work at losing the weight.

You're right Mere, and it's interesting that I'm wanting to change everything now, whilst changing myself :) Never did get around to redecorating but will do at some point, as well as change my hair :)

Hope you've had a good result today WSM! :D xx
 
Redecorating! What next! Will you get someone in to do the job or will you do the work yourself. Why do I feel you will tackle it yourself! :D
Mere x
 
Haha myself definitely. I wrote about it a month or so ago in my diary, but never ended up having funds to begin, I had all the colours mapped out, but will start it sometime this year I'm sure :)

Gosh I wouldn't consider getting someone in! Iv always done the redecorating, My Mum is fanatical about moving rooms weekly and decorating, she's a machine lol I must get it from her although I go years between changing the decor xx

Cant wait to hear your results Minnie :D xx

Well I first went to the hairdressers an they just dyed it all one block colour. Then most recently, I wanted to go natural again so I had to grow my roots out to at least an inch and then had the lighter and darker blonde colour put through as highlights. It isn't noticable different that you've had it done at first as you have some strands that are still the colour of your roots but the roots arn't as dark as they look- they look darker in comparison to the white blond colour. I get a t section every 8-10 weeks with a whole head now and again. It will take aaaages for all the block colour to completely go but I like it as it is. :) When my hair grows it out, then my hair will be natural again with highlights ran through. :D Its so much easier to manage though and you don't get the horrible block re growth! I'm sure your hairdresser could better advise you on how to get that result. And thanks for the compliaments about mine :D xxx
 
I hate painting but would love to completely do the interior! Can't wait to buy a house but that will not be for a long long while yet!

So WI this morning and I've lost 3lb! Very happy with that :D Just recently I've been averaging at 3lb a week so it must be my magic number! I was so close to 12stone 9lb by only 0.2 of a pound!

I still can't believe I'm in the 12's and so close to lhave lost 2stone 7lb! Bring on another week! :D

Hope you've had a brilliant day :D
 
Congratulations on your weight loss Minnie you are doing so well and nice and steady. You must be feeling great.

Thanks Mere, yeh it is I prefer to lose it consistently rather than have big loss one week and a small one the next. I'd be chuffed with 3lb a week until the end of my journey!

Have you had a good day? xx
 
Thanks jael, it's nice seeing consistent weight loss even though it's my 9th week. I'm going to try and fish out my WW book to see how long it took me to lose half of what I've lost now. In th 3 months doing WW think I managed just over half of my total loss on exante so far! xx
 
Great loss this week and overall, fantastic x
 
When I went to WW I lost just under half of what I have lost in the same time scale. I actually got down to my target weight of 9st 3lb which as I was being weighed at night and in clothes was really 9 st. That was almost 15 years ago for my son's wedding and it took me about a year to get there! I prefer the comparatively quick fix of Exante. :D
I think 9st now would be unrealistic.

Yeah I agree this route is best. It funny, I was always against these types of diets until my friend did the CD. But seeing the results and realising it's not damaging to my health, I wish I'd done it years ago. Its made me happier than I've been in a long time and I haven't felt frustrated like I did with WW when I'd do it to plan and lose teeny amounts! xx
