Dunno what 'average' is. Our is going to be around £400 either 4 tier cake or cupakes and a cutting cake enough to feed approx 120. hth

I think you usually cater for everyone... I would anyway. Guess it's up to you.

I lost 1.5Ib last night, which is ok- but given that I gained 3 the previous week and I was better than 100% this week - it should have been more. I've been this close (imagining me demonstrating a very small distance) to giving up SW... my consultant as given me the 'fast forward' option which is going to be tough- but i really need to see a decent result next week or I may not go back to class after my holiday, which is the following week... so anyway, i'll be writing up my food diary and it will look like I'm not doing slimming world, but I am...
oh, and I got SOTW last night but i didn't really deserve it as i gained last week but i was the only person who lost last night...

Just did a search to see if anyone else is trying FF and I found a thread where an admin says we are not even allowed to discuss FF as SW don't like it being discussed. Weird, as it's one of their tools. So I will have to speak vaguely about it I guess... anyways, it is looking like it will be tough. But it is just one week. One week. I can do one week surely!

I tried it once, and it was bloody tough and I ended up maintaining! Can't have done it right!

Oh no, don't do that! I'm just saying that I found it REALLY hard, so I must've slipped up somewhere along the lines! DO GIVE UP!!! You can do it!!!

Hi. I hope you guys don't mind me joining you, elle suggested i join your team
I am getting married on 2nd June, in antigua on the beach. We fly out on 24th may.
I am currently over 5 stone over weight (don't let the pic in my signature fool u, it was taken in a few months and 3 stone lighter ago).
I was doing Lighter Life and lost 8 stone, but 3 of them have crept back on. I realised I could not stick to LL anymore and I was miserable. I decided to join SW and became a bit more realistic about where I will be for the wedding.
Ideally I will be at goal. However, with time ticking by I don't see this as doable. I would be happy to get back to the weight I was in my signature, so 3 stone is doable.
A bit about me - I have 2 little girls (5 and 1). I work in finance but am getting made redundant (although no date yet, this has been going on since July). I am doing an English degree to try and become a primary school teacher and try to fit my hubby and housework in too sometimes.
With regard to the wedding, I'm afraid I'm a lazy bride. I have booked it, and thats it. Apart from dresses there is nothing else to do until I get there. The package comes with a cake and some flowers. I'm paying extra for a steel band and photographer, and then we will go to one of the all inclusive restraunts on site. No ties, just a relaxed laid back caribean wedding.
Sounds great.....now all I have to do is get skinny!!

I have an appointment today at a wedding dress shop.
I'm really not looking forward to it. I'm majorly overweight, I hate shopping, I hate dresses and my intention is to buy off the rack at debenhams or somewhere similar.
It's my mum that has pushed this, I this she just wants to see her daughter try on dresses. I phoned the shop to warn them I was plus size (damage control).
Hopefully it won't be as horrendous as I imagine it will be .......
