my friend is getting married in summer and i am hoping to fit into a vivien of holloway dress- tbh i could fit into their biggest one now but i'm hoping to order a more reasonable size!!
Vivien of Holloway
they are so stunning!! and oh my gosh we ain't set a date yet but when i get married i am absolutely thinking 1950 Halterneck White Satin Green Stars Dress | Special Occasions | Women's Clothing | Vivien of holloway - i am in love!! but i need to get down to perhaps 42 bust/34 waist before i'll even allow myself to buy a dress for either occasion!
that's about 6 inches from chest and about 5 from waist before summertime. i can do it! x

Judith55 - welcome! This thread is motivational!
colly strings - I hate having my picture taken - I can sympathise. I absolutely CRINGE when I look at pictures from last year. Eeeeek! I’m hoping that one day soon I’ll be able to look at pictures and feel happy about the way I look.

Don't really do posh frocks but would love, love, love to be able to wear nice jeans again. By that I mean not to look like an oversized football balanced on cocktail sticks in skinnies with my tee-shirt sprayed over the old muffin top. :cry:
I am going to photo myself in a bikini (yes a bikini) and stick the pictures up everywhere. Maybe as the screensaver on my phone...

Good morning all. As a compulsive weigher I jumped out of bed this morning (well dragged myself after hitting the snooze button a dozen times) and faced the scales after the obligatory wee. 3lbs gone since yesterday! Yippeee. I know, I know, its all water but still that first week drop is a good boost isn't it.
I have been so very good the first couple of days, but been there, done that hundreds of times. Let's see how the weekend goes, huh? Tomorrow I have an all day event where it is traditional for everyone to bring something for sharing. Everyone thinks I am this really good cook who always brings something amazing. And my pride loves this response. BUT this time I am going to take a packed lunch for me and then Doritos (don't like them) and salsa for sharing. I know there will be comments and disappointment but I can't risk cooking something delicious that I'll be tempted to have seconds and thirds of. Wish me luck that the other food on offer won't be too scrummy.
Do we have a weigh in day on this thread? If so, I'll use that day to post and update my ticker.
Have a nice day, you all. Judi x

Good luck Danielle. I'm doing mini-goals of 7lb too. Makes it seem more manageable doesn't it.

Actually Nee its harder for me to get jeans on and off - there is no danger of them not staying up as they are like a second skin.
Btw - I love the way you are keeping this thread together. Thank you. Judi x
