Heeeey!
Thanks guys
its great to have your support!
Had a BK for lunch today, only 12.5 points and I couldn't have eaten any more if I tried... reg. fries, reg. onion rings and chicken bites yum!!!! Oh, and a diet coke too
My leg is killing me, its getting worse and worse and has been since tuesday... my colleague who is a qualified netball coach and has seen every sports injury in the book reckons i've ripped a muscle due to a poor quality warm up i believe her too!!
Going to look at my wedding dress again tomorrow! Am sooo excited, can't wait!! Mum, MIL to be and chief bridesmaid are coming with and hopefully we'll be putting a deposit down happy days!
Got some tidying up to do tonight before my family come over tomorrow, so that'll keep me busy most of the evening. Still got 4 points if I get peckish but tbh I still feel full from lunch lol

aww hope your leg gets better soon, its awful when you strain things - my elbows playing up atm.
also, good on you for the BK.. so much tastier than Maccy D's and totally worth the points!

In agreement with you there hun much much tastier!
Well, the washing up is done, as is the main bathroom and a load of washing. Mike has decided to go out and leave me to do the rest (altho he has only actually done the washing up with me, I did the rest of it so far myself anyway). So I'm all alone and may as well get on with it!

ooh yeah karenlou i hadnt thought about that, altho its a lace up dress so it may just be that they lace it up tighter, it was a perfect fit last time tho so am hoping it may feel just a little bit looser will try and take a couple of pics for you guys to see! Wont be able to post them on here in case Mike sees them tho so will have to email yas with them
Well, tidying up is done, I have even cleaned the shower (grottiest job ever). Bedding has been changed, carpets stain removed, washing finished. I am showered, face masked, moisturised, dry haired and manicured and am now just winding down before bed. So both me and the house are spick and span!
Have had a busy night!!
So excited about tomorrow, I cant wait!

Well, I have had a fab day today, spent time with my family AND bought my dress.
Firstly for the dress...its beautiful! have made some tweaks to the original design so that it really will be unique... cant say too much in case mike comes on here!! If you want to see pics pm me your msn and i can send some to you!
For lunch, I created a buffet, and was very restrained. I only had one of each thing and it was enough to keep me going without using too many points. 9.5 to be exact, and that included a mini scotch egg, 1/4 a small pork pie, a 1/8 of a quiche, some Walkers Sensations, a plum, a 1/4 of a sandwich and 1/8 of a cake... yummy!!!
Could not believe my mum today. I was really happy that she came but on the way back Christmas was mentioned and she started saying about how she shall make sure not to buy me chocolates this year so i dont gain weight over the Christmas period and suggested to mikes mum that she doesnt buy me any either...
I was like WHAT???!!!!? why do YOU get to decide whether or not I WANT chocolates for Christmas?? She started saying about how its a difficult time and she doesnt want me to put on weight... I told her to think back 2 years ago to Christmas when I was on CD and only had the plain turkey and sprouts on Christmas day... no chocolate or anything. Told her that I have enough willpower to decide what to eat for myself (thank you very much) and its my decision if I want to eat chocolate. Just cos she cant eat it without gaining weight, doesnt mean I cant indulge a tiny bit as long as its within my points.
She made several jabs during the day about my figure/weight and it really bugged me. I know she loves me to bits and I love her back, but it really gets to me that even after all these years of being the root cause of my problems, she's still doing the same things that made me overweight in the first place!!!
Sorry, rant over. Now for the positive stuff!
My dress didnt fit me very well today. Why is that positive? Because it is now TOO BIG !!! I asked what size it was (a 14, which I was over the moon about) this time, as I didn't check last time I went and I wanted to know for my own sanity and to give me a goal to drop to the next size down by the time I go to be measured. SO the fact that my wedding dress will DEFINITELY be no bigger than a 14, and even then would need taking in, has given me a massive boost! And it was tight before so the fact its now too big is brilliant! My hard work is paying off and its only been a few weeks!
So I am really happy now especially as wedding dresses tend to be a size bigger than your actual dress size. No way am I a 12 normally but I was expecting to need a wedding dress of 16 at least (as I am a 14 in most things so I thought my 'wedding dress size' would be 16), so to be a size smaller is a real surprise!!

aww thats fantastic! good on you for the chocolate as well if you can fit it into your points why shouldnt you? I will never be able to give it up - so I've told everyone if they want to buy me chocolate, a curlywurly (my favourite) or a crunchie will do just nicely :d
oh and your buffet restraint is an inspiration.. I find them so difficult!

Wow, well done! You are sheding those pounds and you are doing all that yourself! I am sorry to hear your mum has been commenting all day. That is so unfair. You will be the one laughing in a few months I tell you! I know you do anyway, but ignore those comments. This is YOUR diet and you are doing just fine
Well done x
Well done x

thanks guys! I hopped on the scales this morning as after the big jump a couple of days ago I wanted to make sure it wasnt just a fluctuation...and NO!! They have gone down AGAIN!!! I am now, according to my scales no matter where I put them on the floor or how I stand them, down to 12st 4lbs
I think I needed my pill break to sort me out as beforehand I had been feeling bloated something rotten, and I had run 2 packs together so i had double the retention lol! My shape hasnt changed, so this is my body catching up! My body fat % is down to 31.2 from 32%, my water is about the same, and my muscle mass is up to 34% from 32
so all my hard work is paying off.I know its not my official WI reading so I shouldnt get too excited, but its WI tomorrow so I hope that I will see a loss this week, even if its only 1lb I will be happy!

Can't wait to see your dress hon (have sent you a pm) and so chuffed for you that it's a bit too big - I love it when that happens!
Good for you for standing up to your mum - I'd like to say they mean well but I'm not always convinced that's the case either - people have strange ideas about ww of course and thinking you can't eat chocolate is one of them. You'll be a gorgeous chocolate-filled bride hon x

I only went and lost THREE POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! Thats almost the same amount I have already lost in 4 weeks, lost in 1!! Thank goodness my body has finally caught up I got a round of applause at WI as everyone knows how frustrated I have been the last few weeks.
To say I am over the moon is an understatement! Only half a lb off my silver seven!! And only 11.5lbs to my 10%
Happy days! Oh, and WW leader said that the points plan will not be changing (just to set your minds at ease), nor will the core plan, but there will be some kind of 'new' things which will be revealed in December.
