Err, maybe somewhere between 140 - 147lbs. Not sure though, am reaching the point where I don't think I'll manage much more without a bit of a break... What do you think?

Thanks all :) feel a bit better now... As for onlt a stone to go, I, umm, might reasses my goal a little...

Hi everyone, did you miss me? Come on, someone admit they'd even noticed my absence... ...Pfft. Anyway, 5 lbs off for me this week which I probably didn't deserve as I've been a bit naughty. But anyway onwards and updwards (or should that be downwards?) from here and I'll try to be good and...

Of everyone I've ever met, you're probably the most driven and motivated. I KNOW you can do this chick and I refuse to be wrong about anything :p

Well, I forgot to update this lat week so will do it now... natalieann 27lbs- 27lbs to go yummymummynot -21lbs- 14lbs to go Lisaberry - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Nick - 40lbs - 22lbs to go newandhappyme -28lbs - 17lbs to go Sparkling_Fairy - 26lbs - 7lbs down, 19lbs to go XxAbbiexX23 - 35lb - 21lbs...

LMAO - For those who don't know Bren, she is also the most competetive and organised person I've ever met, but from reading this you probably didn't need me to tell you that! *ducks and runs*

A fairly measley 2 lbs this week, but in my waistlines defence, I have been weighing in first thing in the morning and this week have had to move over to evenings so it could have been worst I suppose. Now 12st 4lbs.

A very fair point. I'm totally undecided on where I want to end up. My main isse at the moment is with my still hideous tummy. Everywhere ele looks (dare I say it?) Pretty hot now but I still have a couple of extra tyres hanging about m middle which are depressing me. Strop.

I'm 32 and trying to convince myself that I won't turn 33 next month!

I'm sure you'll have an amazing los next week Bren, and like you quite rightly say, when you look at the bigger picture and see the losses over a diferent timecale it's really very impressive!

Thanks all, it's really lovely to get the help and encouragement wee all need here... I think I'm going to join Bren and move over the CD next week. Similar reasons but most predominantly that I'm getting fed up with the shakes and know if I don't get a bit of variety fairly soon I'll give up...

And another 5 lbs for me too... natalieann 27lbs- 27lbs to go yummymummynot -21lbs- 14lbs to go Lisaberry - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Nick - 40lbs - 22lbs to go newandhappyme -28lbs - 17lbs to go Sparkling_Fairy - 26lbs - 7lbs down, 19lbs to go XxAbbiexX23 - 35lb - 21lbs down, 14lbs to go Mini -...

And another 5 lbs bites the dust :smug: It really is starting to feel like I'm making headway now :D

I'm still hungry too, but I'm trying to embrace the hunger and use it to remember that being hungry is just my body tellinh me that I'm losing weight. That said, the box of Thorntons continental choccies I've got hidden at the back of the cupboard (hidden from me and the Hubby) are calling me...

It's the weather I think. Cold and miserable always make me hungry. I also think that at this point in our diet we do have a bit of a dip - I should know, mine's been 5 days now and is only just starting to get easier. Hang on in there, it will get better...

My. God. You lot are amazing. If I'm totally honest, I still fel pretty weak and was wondering what the point to all this is (although I have managed to resist breaking so far), then I come on here for the first time since last night and see all the fabuouls inspirational posts and support and...

Shut up right now. You most certainly did not. You looked amazing and I shan't hear another word on the subject. Consider yourself spanked.

Until the past few days I've not really found this diet hard. I've lost 32lbs in 6 weeks which I'm thrilled about, then on Sat my period hit and all I can think about is food. All food. Any food. I want it. I NEED it. On top of the TOTM thing, I'm also exhausted, I started a new job last week...

No comment. Ha! Like that's going to happen! For what it's worth, and knowing you like I do it doesn't matter what you try telling yourself your goal is, once you've decided you'll know deep down if you're really planning on stopping at 11st or carrying on for another half! Personally, I...

Yipppeee! Well done you, it feels great doen't it?

Hi Claire :D Don't be disheartened, this diet is tough at the beginning but it does get easier (and the shakes get more enjoyable too as you forget about normal food!). Stick at it and you'll be at goal before you know it :)

Awesome Bren, you're a motivational inspiration!

Thanks all. I'm very happy about the lb losses, but am a bit depressed about the slow inch loss. I went shopping for a few new addition to the work wardrobe (cheap shops as hopefully I'll shrink out of them quickly), and was horrified to discover how mahoosive I still am. I thought I'd dropped...

Phew! I was having a minor wibble just reading this! I'd also be interestedin other people's comments on this too, as I'm fairly certain that if my DietBuddy changes, I will too in order to stick at it and at similar rates too.

And now for me... natalieann 27lbs- 27lbs to go yummymummynot -21lbs- 14lbs to go Lisaberry - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Nick - 40lbs - 22lbs to go newandhappyme -28lbs - 17lbs to go Sparkling_Fairy - 26lbs - 7lbs down, 19lbs to go XxAbbiexX23 - 35lb - 21lbs down, 14lbs to go Mini - 21lbs - 14lbs to...

Great idea Daisy, I especially like this one :D

And another 4lbs down :D Making a total loss of 32lbs (or 2st 4lbs). Happy, happy, happy Clee

This has been on my mind lately too. My birthday is Oct 8th and I think I'll probably stay 100%. I might change my mind, but I'll try to look at the bigger picture this year.

Well, they are called Crapjacks for a reason! (but, I also seem to have aquired a taste for them and actually quite look forward to one now!)

I think it's normal for our losses to slow down significantly, the inportant thing to remember is that not only do we all lose at different rate, but that we all continue to lose overal. *puts tin hat on and gets ready for the fall out* Stop over blooming thinking this Bren. Just stick at it...

Me too. Every morning, after weeing but before dressing; it helps keep me motivated and on the straight and narrow.

The best thing about losing weight is... Being able to wear nice clothes to work AND being complimented on how good I look in them (by the company glamour puss none the less!)

True, but a measley 40Cals a day is not going to make the slightest bit of difference on a diet as low cal as this one. Especially if (like me) you do a whole load of excerisize every day. I'm going to have one for lunch every week day as it's so much easier than trying to have a tepid lumpy...

Firstly, I popped into TK Maxx on my way home from work (none of my work clothes fit properly and I do work in a pretty smart office) and was thrilled to find a gorgeous skirt that not only fits me but is SO, SO flattering (and only £16.99 so I bought it). Then, when I got home I had a major...

Coleslaw and Wagon Wheels (not together!), which is really strange as I didn't think I even liked Wagon Wheels before this but now I REALLY want one!!

Yes, I took a coconut crapjack to work with me today and introduced them to my collegues as such. WW's they will always be crapjacks to me.

Every single pair of jeans in my wardrobe now requires a belt to prevent them from falling down! It's a great feeling and I can't wait until payday in order to buy a new smaller pair (which will have the added bonus of not beeing so big in the bum region that it looks like I have a nappy on!)

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! You look awesome - well done!

Pfft. You're mean :p Thanks for this size10, I've had a very long and exhausting 3 days and my LSH's dinner is smelling particularly tempting tonight but I've now been and looked at pretty Coast dresses too and my resolve is strong once again!

And I tried a coconut one too. Same verdic, they make a nice change and taste quite nice - but they are very dry so make sure you wash them down with plenty of water. Bren the coconut ones have exactly the same texture as the peanut ones, just a mildly coconutty taste :)

Agree with above. Also, remember that muscle weighs 4 times what fat does, so, if you're building and toning muscle you won't lose as many lbs and but you''ll lose heaps of inches!

Thanks Aine, well done on your brilliant loss too :D I'm not sure how I did it! I lead very active lifestyle anyway and it does involve a lot of excersize as the course of my normal day to day routine. I don't think I did more than usual that week...?

I think if it were me, and like you've suggested, I'd go with another 2 weeks and than reconsider with a view to possibly starting refeeding then.

As Bren says, I did indeed remember and got one of each to try. As I was out all day today I had the peanut one in the car and it wasn't actually too bad at all. It was certainly nice to actually eat something and although the texture was very dry and heavy, drinking plenty of water with it...

And a slightly disapointing 2lbs for me this week. I have remained 100% but I expect it's only to be expected after such an amazing loss (9lbs) last week! Anyway, that takes me to 28lbs so far which is exactly 2 stone off. :D

I know somewhere they'd be well loved and looked after in the meantime...;)

I was just wondering how you were getting on WW's. I'm so pleased to hear your regime is suiting you, I'm impressed, I know I wouldn't have the willpower to stick to that! Keep us updated please...

This is my current favourite too - only I like it chilled! Don't get me wrong, it's lovely hot but even better icy cold!

It is! Very noticable!

I only ever have my vanilla shakes with coffee in, they turn out like a lovely (ish) latte. I also like them cold and blended with a handfull of ice cubes - makes an iced latte. The chocmint is also brilliant, although, I tend to prefer this one cold. Make 3/4 pint of peppermint tea up with two...

I *think* MisterMRL means that as a bloke he's been offered 4 ladies size servings a day instead of 2 mens ones? You are correct though in that women on the female plan are only allowed 3 portions per day.

Right-o, I'll get one of each to try on Sat - I mean they can't be THAT bad that I couldn't force one down if neccesary? Bren, remind me I want to try these if I 'forget' when telling the lady how many I want of each flavour shake please!

I think you can do it know you can do it! I did, and if I can do it, so can you! My LSH's brother's wedding was about a fortnight into my LT journey, not only was I one of the bridesmaids, but it was also a big family weekend away with 3 days of extended family meals and boozing going on. I...

Shorts! As I've said before, I'm a really funny shape, skinny little legs with a huge tummy hanging over - Yuck. It's be so nice to be able to get my legs out and not worry about having to have a top that's almost longer than them to hide the horrid belly!

That's awesome Nat. A true inspiration to us all :)

I think we need updated pictures!!!

I have PCOS and for the whole of my adult life have had very irregular and extremely heavy periods. They had actually been getting worse and until I started LT I had had 2 periods each lasting 12 (extremely heavy) days over the past 6 months and nothing in between! I got my period a few days...

Really? That's a shame, I'd love to see pictures of that :p

She looks amazing! Such a difference in a really short time!

Me too. Felt woozy a lot in the first couple of weeks, only occasionaly now if I stand up too quick.

I lost 9lbs in my fourth week! Overall, the inches are far more impresive :)

So, I've finally plucked up the courage to brave one of these crapjacks at my next weigh in. Which should I get? If you all state your preference, I'll go with the majority. AND, I shall hold you responsible if it's foul. :D

I do agree that hormones are probably the biggest contibuting factor here, but... I know you struggle to drink enough water Bren and think it may be worth considering the possibility that your body may be retaining water too? I know from experience that during my TOTM I retain water and I'm...

So far I've not braved a flapjack but in the strength of this thread I'm going to get one at my next weigh in. Woe betide you all if I become violently ill!

My boobs are too SMALL for Bravissimo!! If they were as fat as the rest of me I'd be much happier, but sadly Bravissimo don't do C cups :cry:

TBH, I don't drink because I'm thirsty, I drink becasue it's become habit and also I'm pretty aware of how much I have drunk in relation to how much I NEED. I think you need to obsess over it for a few days (and we both know you're capable of that :P ) until it becomes a habit again.

I'm on my feet pretty much all day with a very active lifestyle so don't do as much 'formal excersize' as perhaps I should. I do however, ride at least 3 horses every day (often more), muck out walk dogs and run about like a loony after people! I did swim today and enjoyed it so much that I'm...

All I can say is WOW!! Had an amazing time, went on all the slides several times (not sure a 32 year old woman elbowing kids out of the way whilst sprinting up the stairs is a good look, but never mind!) and even did some lengths in the grown up section too. SwimmingCostumeHell wasn't as bad...

Thanks :D I couldn't cheat, not even once or I'd be right back to square one. I just know I can't be trusted! I reckon another 4-6 weeks for me, so tantalisingly close to the half way mark, which is when I'll have to be all the more carefull I suspect!

Yes. Keep it up Missus. I find making sure I have enough water bottled up and in the fridge, cold and ready for me makes all the difference. I have a stock of old water bottles that I refill from the tap and chill each night ready for the next day. My top tip is not to use 2ltr bottles though...

Wibble... Going to the Metrodome today with a friends kids (well, teenagers actually). This will be my first time in a swimming costume in public for a LONG time. I'm more than a little frightened... But, not so frightened I'm not going to go and act like a kid on all the water slides! LOL...

My LSH wasn't particularly helpful, I think he was enjoying getting his own back for the years of me calling him a wimp when he complains about the cold. Yesterday I was wearing a long sleeved T.shirt, a hoodie, a fleece jacket and a wind proof wax jacket whilst we walked the dogs in the...

WOW! That's amazing LittlerS!!!

Doh! Of course. Why hadn't I made the connection! Thanks all, it's good to know I'm not the only one wrapping up warm...

Good attitude above - keep it up. Only 10 measly little lbs to go. How're you doing today?? Superglue the water bottle to your hand and stay out of the kitchen. I know you can do it.

That's brilliant Bren, I too did the same thing yesterday and was pleasantly suprised. Have to admit I'm still a long way off fitting into a size 14 (for those who don't know me personally, I am a funny shape - all tummy and hardly any fat elsewhere!), but the size 16's weren't tight!

Am I the only one? I've always been a 'hot person' but lately I've been freezing! More so than friends who are ususaly wingeing about being cold. My LSH has a theory that it's my body getting used to being less insulated than normal (I think that's his polite way of saying I've lost weight)...

Forget the kick, here's a bloody great boot up your backside. Don't give in now, stick with it ofr another 3 weeks. You CAN do it and just think how much more succesful you loss will be. Also, and almost more importantly, I need you on here to keep me amused with the little witty comments...

Blimey! I *think* that means I've lost 206 sausages! I love LT!

GL? What is this GL you speak of??

Hope you get a good weigh in today. I wanted to add that, in addition to the above, the time you weigh can have a huge impact on your result. If I weigh first thing in the morning I can be several pounds lighter than later in the day as the vast quantities of water we consume are very heavy!!

Don't be disheartened! I find I can weigh myself halfway through the week and not appear to have lost anything, then whoosh, by the time I get to the pharmacy I'll have a great loss! I'm in my 5th week now and have lost 26lbs so far! Keep at it and try not to over analyse your losses, it'll...

I'm in the middle of my fith week now and have lost 26lbs (just under 2 stone!) I was 15st1lb when I started and am now 13st3lbs! Stick at it, it REALLY does get easier.

Yes it was size8, we both had a very succesfull day too, thank you :D I was ravenous last night too Bren and I think it was partly due to having uch a busy day and partly due to being out of my usual routine for shakes time wise. Interestingly, I fell really energised this morning, more awake...

About 2.5 litres out of a bottle but filled with tap water and chilled in the fridge, plus a small amount of caffinated coffee, a vat of decaf coffee and quite a bit of peppermint tea too!

It really depends on my mood and how much of a hurry I'm in. Sometimes I sip and other times I'll gulp!

A rather shocking 9lbs this week! Taking my total loss to 26lbs.

Wow! Is it 4 weeks we've been at this already? Time really does indeed fly...

Weighed in this morning and 9lbs down! not a bad start to this challenge! natalieann 27lbs- 27lbs to go yummymummynot -21lbs- 14lbs to go Lisaberry - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Nick - 40lbs - 34lbs to go newandhappyme -28lbs - 17lbs to go Sparkling_Fairy - 26lbs - 7lbs down, 19lbs to go XxAbbiexX23 -...

And, just because I'm pleased with myself, here (hopefully) is a picture of TheDress as proof that I did it! [/IMG]

Blimey! You've been busy!! Well done Chick :)

Thanks SO, SO much everyone. And this time I really am back (have had an enforced internet abstinance) so watch out!

Honk - even stayed 100% whilst away at the huge family extravagansa this weekend!

...From the wedding of the year and not only did I get into my bridesmaid dress but I wore it comfortably ALL DAY!!! I had friends and relatives coming up to me cpomplimenting me on how amazing I looked in the dress and on how much weight I've lost. I have to admit it, I felt pretty damn good...

And a fith...! Have an awesome night, and come back to let us know how you got on :)

I'm afraid I don't have enough medical knowledge to help with the original question, but best of luck with your date, I hope he deserves you! I met LincsBren (who's also on here) online (through our horses), and then met her boyfriend... 7 years down the line I'm married to him (3 years...

I'm another who'd love to know the answer too... Not sure Atkins is for me, but I'm not sure about anything these days!

:sticks hand up: Hi my name's Clepottage and I'm a sniffer too! I've always loved cooking (which is probably part of the reason why I resemble the back end of a bus), and, although I went off cooking or even being around food for the first few days of TFR, I'm back cooking again. I do struggle...

Awwww, bless you! Thanks you so much for that post, the actual wedding is on Monday but we need to leave tomorrow (Sunday) and will then be trapped with enjoying the company of our family until Tues evening. It will take every bit of my willpower to refrain from hitting the vodka let alone the...

I'm sorry Catt, but I'm with Waterworks on this one. I do understand what you're saying and in princible wholeheartedly agree with you, but in practice, well it's not that easy. I'm away for a long weekend as of tomorrow at a huge family wedding, I know I'll "fit in" more if I join in the...

Honking again, day 12 and getting easier every day!

Me three

The more I hear about these Crapjacks (I think I love you WW), the less inclined I am to try them..

Thants brilliant - well done you :)

Well done chick :D

Hiya :) Good luck, you'll do brilliantly with such a big incentive ahead of you.

I've edited my signature in my User CP and it show's there but not on my posts - any idea what I've done wrong? Edit to add - Doh, it seems to be working now, ignore me!

WOW!! Well done Woody. I'm another who can't wait to hear how you get on with NY

It really, honestly does get better. Just try to stick at it. I'm about a week further down the road than you and it's only the past few days I've felt like jumping out the window when cooking or being around my LSH eating. As for the other things, have you tried using a shaker at work rather...

My usually dodgy tummy has been 100% better since being on LT so I'm afraid I can't help. It could be connected with a cold or bug of some sort though?

Thanks so much everyone, just got back from my weigh in (a day early this week too) and have lost another 5lbs, which is motivation enough to keep me 100% I hope!

BUT, it's only day 11 AND also is TOTM. Another 5lbs!!!! Making 11lbs in 11 days :D

I'm not sure. I know they're having a posh type of BBQ with a really wide choice of meats/fish and veggies. Other than that I don't know! I'm hoping that I might be able to push food over to my LSH, but as he' best man, we may be seperated and it may not be possible. I am actually quite worried...

I'm going to take my shakes and try to stay 100%. Not sure I'll manage though...

Ditto the others, good luck Woody. LT isn't for everyone, I have a friend who didn't get on with it either.

Amazingly nice!! Floor length, strapless, black satin ballgown. Fitted bodice with full skirt. Makes me feel dead sexy (and not TOO fat either!). Definately not your average bridesmaid dress.

I try not to but can't honestly say I manage all that often!! Follw the same routine as you, naked and after first pee. Weighing in again tomorrow, a day early as LincsBren and I go to the pharmacy together (normally on a Sat morning) and she's heading off galivanting for a week so we need to...

Thanks everyone, I'm thrilled! I have to admit I was a bit frightened about what the bride might do to me if I hadn't managed to get in the dress! I had a very lovely, tame seamstress lined up to try to make me a discreet panel and insert it so (hopefully) peple wouldn't notice. Now, just...

Braver than me chick! And, I actually do think you can see quite a difference in the green dress pictures.

Like the others have said, the shakes do get easier to drink. My first day I struggled with them, now I know how I like them made up and I'm used to the taste I quite look forward to them. Remember, they're not intended to be especially nice!

I've just noticed, you're getting married on my birthday watsonnicole!

No problem, below are some ideas somone else came up with too. I've not tried them yet but when I get desperate I will be doing so! Chocolate/Vanilla/strawberry Flavours Muffin 1.Put a little BOILING WATER into a ramekin dish, or whatever you have - thick mug or similar (about 2 desert...

I'm sure we'll still let you play...! :D

Show off :p (although, TBH, I'm not that far behind you!) She has. Lucky cow - or some would say careless cow!

That's more than brilliant, it's... er... Fabulous. Have an amazing time looking smokin' in Holland with your super-man-of-dreams and don't do anything we wouldn't... :rolleyes:

ROFLMAO, That's brilliant S.

Good point Siobhi, manky yellow bits elsewhere may result in difficult questions from the LSH!

Actually, it's more like a HUGE celebration :talk017: Some of you may remember I have have a big family wedding on Aug 16th, I am a bridesmaid and I was REALLY struggling to get into my dress (that I had to order 2 years ago!). On Sat I tried it on and couldn't quite get it done up (we were...

Pfft. Yesterday I was only mildly left out, today it is full blown "manky tongue envy", I just want a symptom to prove I'm ketosis-ing. S'not fair :throwsatantrum: Well, you already knew I was completely barking... And, see above. I DO want manky yellow bits!

They do get more palatable honest! I struggled with them when I first started but now I quite look forward to my shakes! Try experimenting with how you make them up too, I've found my favourite ways now and am in a routine. Personally, I have a glass of water when I first get up, then once...

Personally, I'd stick to Lipotrim TFR 100% and I'm confident you'll lose the remainder of what you want before October. Then again, I don't really know anything about the other systems you mention and can only go by the fantastic results I've seen in both my own and others loss on LT. Good luck!!

Wow that's amazing S! I too shall be using you as my inspiration at a big family wedding all this weekend and will try so hard to remain 100%.

Why can't I see your piccies...?

My tongue is a normal colour. I feel a bit left out now :(

Unfortunately I don't have a yellow tongue, but I read somewhere here that it is associated with ketosis - hence the unfortunately bit. I shouldn't worry about it, just enjoy the fact that your body is kicking the fat into touch effectively!

Warm water is great (but I drank that before LT anyway. As for green or red bush teas. You're crazy, satan's urine if you ask me!

I start my blender slow and then when a little mixed turn it up high to properly blitz it - no lumps here!

I'm not sure about buying LT anywhere other than the pharmacist - personally I find needing to go every week and be accountable really helps me. I also like the fact that if I have any concerns I can talk them through with the parmacist and get profesional advice. My nearest chemist that stocks...

Prompted by comments on other threads, what are your coping mechanisms or way of distracting yourself from eating? Mine include walking the dogs, doing a bit of maintenance around the property and cleaning! My kitchen doesn't know what's hit it, all the cupboards have been cleaned, the fridge...

Thanks Cheryl, that's really reasured me! As I've always drunk a lot of water and am now drinking even more, would the fact that I'm very well hydrated (and therefore weeing even more) hide the symptoms perhaps? If I'm flushing through, it may hide the breath etc??

HONKKKKKKKK

So, how do I know for sure if i'm in this magical, mythical state yet? I don't have any ketostix, and I don't think my breath is bad but I have been 100% for 6 days now (in fact, today is day 7). Anyone have any ideas?

Congratulations Bren, you're doing SO well. I'm impressed you managed to resist temptation and stayed strong, just remember the more we resist, the quicker we'll acheive our individual end goals!

I alawys have a bit of back pain and have done for years. I must admit it's not been anyworse since being on LT. I tend to find a bit of VERY GENTLE excersise helps when mine is bad. Hope you're still feeling better?

Echo MiniB 100% Also, you may well find you get used to the flavours! I really had to force them down, but now, at the end of week one I'm finding I quite like a couple of the flavours! I do wonder if our tastebuds ubdergo a bit of a re-education too!

Week 1 (although it's actually only 4 complete days) - 5lbs!:party0011:

Congratulations! Well done, "totally inspiring" (and thanks for taking me for my weigh in this morning too!)

Yes! And thanks for the scales, I can't quite believe a 5lb loss already - especially as I've weighed in after only 4 full days!!!

I'm now on day 4 and (luckily) finding the programme eaier than expected - so long as my trusty water bottle is never too far away! I have a very active lifestyle, there's nothing I can do to slow down for a while so I will just have to get on with it. Last night I started geting cramp in my...

I lick lumps and I'm proud! Yes, love it when I find a lump in my shake or soup - it's lovely having a bit of texture once in a while :)

Afraid I don't know about the mint leaves (although I would expect not), but I'm sure someone on here will be able to answer for you. I'm never all that great at sleeping, but I think it's a bit worse than normal since I've been on Lipotrim.

Me too (although I think it's more onioney than chickeney), also love the fact there's another flavour for me Yep - Me!! :D

Thanks all, that's very reasuring indeed. I was having a minor panic about being the only bridesmaid with safety pins holding her dress together!

I'm only on my 4th day so far but have laready noticed the shakes tasting better than they did on day one. I think you really do get used to them! Do try the chicken soup too, it's ptobably my favourite (but only with a little black pepper added). Keep at it - you can do this!

My long term goal is to lose my excess weight and to maintain it. In the short term, I am bridesmaid at a wedding is approx 10 days, my dress *almost* does up - how likely do you think it is that I'll fit into my dress? Bearing in mind, I've only just started the programme, how many inches...
