5th July 2013... 350 days to get myself into my dream dress!

[ellen83]

This is the dress I WILL be wearing for my wedding, I just don't know what size yet. If I don't loose enough weight I will look like a sack of spuds and I would be so annoyed with myself. I have never been slim but since starting slimming world in December I have for the first time in my life seen it as an actual possibility!

My first goal is to get to my 10% which I should get by the middle of March but I'm aiming to get it by the end of Feb! Will set my new goal after I get that. I keep looking at the dress to remind me one of the reasons I'm doing this!

(edited - Days to go at start was 515 but will edit the title when I remember to say how many days left!)

Wow that dress is stunning!!

Put a picture of it on your fridge so you can remind yourself everyday of how gorgeous it is and how amazing you will look in it

Good luck, you can do this!!!!!

 

[ellen83]

Thanks. I already have, and cupboards...and one in my wallet lol. I am on a proper mission!

The wedding is also my 30th Birthday!

 

[Rachel :)]

Good for you!

I'm so jealous, I'm 33 this year and still not married, my OH don't believe in it. You will have a fab day. What a way to spend your 30th!

 

[ellen83]

My OH isn't fussed but he know's how important it is for me. I am so excited, we weren't going to until after OH graduated from uni (mature student) but It just felt like it needed to be done and what better weight loss motivator. We'd been engaged for 2.5 years before setting a date lol!

Is there no way you OH would get married? What doesn't he believe in about marriage... if you don't mind me asking.

Just back form weigh in and it's a 2.5lbs loss this week. Am pleased its more than 2 but was hoping for 3 and wishing for 4lb lol.

 

[Rachel :)]

He just thinks you don't need a bit of paper! It might happen one day but I'm not holding my breath lol.

Well done on your weight loss this week. Keep going

 

[ellen83]

Thanks hun. Its not the be all and end all at the end of the day but it's a great weight loss motivator! How is your week going?

 

[Rachel :)]

Good week last week and so far so good this week. Have washed the car this morning, not sure who got wetter though lol

 

[ellen83]

3.5lbs down this week! woohoo, got my 1.5 stone award and only need another 5lbs to get my 10%!!! Bring it on!

 

[Rachel :)]

Wooohoooo that's amazing. Well done!! So pleased for you! Yourll be at your goal before you even realise if you keep losses up like that. x

 

[ellen83]

I do hope so, It gives you a boost for the next week when you have a nice loss. How are you getting on?

 

[Rachel :)]

I'm getting on fine,ta. Struggling to eat enough (never thought I'd say that) I'm scared incase I can't stop lol. OH mentioned the 'm' word earlier and so did my nan lol v perciliar

Are you doing much exercise?

 

[ellen83]

Exercise is touch and go, it varies from week to week.

Mention of the 'm' words sounds exciting... Assuming it was mentioned in a positive way?

 

[Rachel :)]

Im hoping so lol.

What plans have you got for the weekend? We are going swimming this morning, then at our local library this afternoon there's a reading of the gruffalo, which my 3 yo adores so we are going to see that.

We can't go out today as have to wait for someone to come look at our shower. Everything in this house seems doomed, at least we are only renting. My 3yo loves the gruffalo too, my 10 month old just loves being read to. The weekend plans involve lots of tidying and catching up on jobs that NEED doing, have the worlds biggest pile of clothes washing to get through. What fun.

Not sure what we haver planned for the boys this weekend, something that wears them out is always good! lol

 

[Rachel :)]

Since i started this diet I've been really good with housework, but only because it means me being active. Usually I hate it!! ESP ironing ugh.

Hope you got your shower mended.

We are going to the circus tomorrow afternoon. Kids all back to school Monday yay!

Hope you have a good weekend and get lots done xx

Shower was not mended, they just took photos!?!?!

Circus sounds fun. How old are your children?

 

[Rachel :)]

Just took photos?? That's rubbish esp when you got little kids running about. When your busy who's got time to wallow in the bath.

My kiddies are 14,12,9 and 3.

Well we have someone out on Saturday for an emergency as the landlady has the insurance, and they blocked off the shower from the water supply so we could have water for the rest of the house (one of the pipes behind the shower was leaking, only reason we knew something was wrong was the carpet was getting soaked). Not sure why photos had to be taken but to fix it they are going to have to remove a load of the tiles and landladies insurance covers the fixing but wouldn't cover the re-tiling so not sure what she is doing. Poor woman has just had to pay to have the kitchen ceiling done as there was an issue with damp...

4 kids... you are brave. I have enough with just the two boys. They are very full on.
