Thread: Operation shrink......... let's go!!!

Hi, my name is Lisa I'm 30 weigh 217lb I'm 5ft 2inch I have a 5 year old daughter who thinks she's 55 lol I live with my fiance he works away during the week most weeks :-(. My first goal is to fit into a bridsmade dress by the 21st April rather than have it made bigger...... I'm a size 20/22 more a 20 than a 22 and the dress is an 18!! I hope I can do this I understand I may have to have it altered a wee bit but I really don't want to.
So it's day 1 for me and I have woken up to snow........ Not a great one to start drinking cold beverages lol but I CAN AND WILL DO THIS.................currently lay in bed writing this so I'm going to get up measures my bust, under bust, waist, hips, thigh (tree trunks) and upper arm not forgetting to stand on the scales in the process too :-/......... Today is the first day of the new me so........... Let's get shrinking xxxxx

That dress is beautiful! How long have you got? A month did you say? If so? I'm sure it'll be fine x

Yes the wedding is on the 21st April so fingers crossed I can squeeze into it by then or at least only have minor alterations made xx

But you're already in it, so any weight you lose between now and then will make it more comfy! It's beautiful x keep us updated x

I wish I was it in huni, it won't go over my hips properly but IT WILL lol.
Well today is the start of day two and for some really strange reason I have woke up stupidly early even though I feel completely exhausted. So I'm lay here in bed read The Beck diet book, waiting for the rest of the house to wake up. I will update you on my day as it goes, take care xx

Morning here to subscribe - looking forward to see you get into that dress properly

I was a bridesmaid a couple of years ago and had to have my size 18 dress taken out it was horrible so rooting for ya!! (living life through you )

Another horrible cold day :-(, I have had my shake this morning for breakfast and the headache has kicked in :-/ so day two not going too bad.
I'm snuggled up on the sofa with warm juice (blackcurrant plus no citric acid) with my kindle reading The Beck diet book. Hope your all ok? Xx
