Found it - thanks! (only available to UK viewers - boo hoo!)

oh minz that's so pants. is there not an irish equivalent??

Hey Abz... glad the fitting went so well.

I think you need to do whatevers right for you & not what the seamstress says... at the end of the day you want to be a weight/size that you will feel happy about on your wedding day & your paying for the service of having alterations.

When I got married I was doing my vlcd & was dropping 4lbs a week, my seamstress from the shop told me & needed to stop dieting 2 months before the wedding as thats when they would do my alterations, I then went & sourced an independant lady who did my final fitting 2 days before my wedding & I got to wear my dress at a size I was really proud of!!

Good luck with whatever you decide... but it is yours & thomas' special day & you can make the decisions as to how you'll best feel comfortable in your own skin & dress. xxx

well the main reason for doing this so early is that the seamstress is going to make me a back panel so i need to be fitted for that. and she may need to take it in around the bust (which made me laugh hysterically. really wasn't expecting that, ha.) i may ask her to take it in at the sides a wee bit in any case. because the lacing at the back had masses of room to expand. i think i would like it lacing a little wider in any case so that you can see the back panel...

but i've decided (after knocking myself out of ketosis of course, pillock that i am... i was panicking about it all last night... don't really have the money for alterations but i suppose i'll worry about that later) that i want to continue doing ss.

so back on the wagon today, no doubt there will be cravings again. whoopee.. and hopefully it won't have affected my weigh in too badly. haven't been weighed for two weeks and was hoping for 6lbs to half a stone, but we'll just have to see what happens...

well i just wish i hadn't done 1000 now. not many carbs but enough to make things more difficult i'm sure.

saying that, i'm still to have my first pack. i haven't gotten hungry. so maybe i'm not too far from being back in ketosis. may do a test tomorrow morning to find out

Guzzle the water it has really put me back on track in the past 2 days and now i'm ultra motivated and i've lost weight too.

Try and drink a ltr, then maybe a coffee first before you do a pack??

What am I telling you for babe you are doing fine. How is Elle? I might try and find her diary again.

i have had 1.5 litres and two cups of coffee so far today ha.

because i missed seeing my cdc last week i've been living on mainly porridge as i had a stockpile from when i decided i didn't like it and forgot to swap it and bought more, ha. luckily i like porridge again but i've been having an awful lot of it in the last few days

abz xx

I love that porridge it's yum!

I wonder if your could have celery sticks on hand for when the fake hunger (your mind) wants to rear it's ugly head?? Shouldn't kick you out of Ketosis?

i don't want to risk munching on other things bren. it isn't allowed on cd so i don't want to go there, ha. i know what i'm like
