Thanks a mill, i knew i would feel better just saying it on here cos you understand. I said it to her but she just said she doesnt care what size i am but she wants me there . The funny thing is i was 14 and a half stone when i got married 5 1/2 years ago and i felt great i think its because the others are so slim but as you say i have 8 months to do my best its all i can do. Thanks gail its great to have someone who understands . Loads of hugs x x x

Hey honeys, how are we doing?
Gwen - I agree with Gail, you will look wonderful no matter what - but i totally understand what you mean. Can you talk to your friend about the style of dress you will be wearing to make sure its super flattering??
I've been a bit fed up at work today - got so much work on and so many meetings I can't actually spend any time at my desk doing the work. had a bit of an emotional wobble talking to my boss about it today - but he was so sweet and offered to help me prioritize my work and tell some people to back off if I can't do the work in the time they want.
Not sure why this is bothering me as normally I am so organized and work much better when under pressure!
And to top it all I've been bad. I've had a chicken kebab two nights running and half a portion of chips! I've counted this in my points but its not healthy eating is it.
Slightly worried about this weekend, we're off to Yorkshire for my mum in laws wedding, (she was widowed 6 years ago). so lots of meals out and trips to ikea and shopping. So worried about sabotaging myself!
Ah well...hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

Oh no we are all having a bit of a bad couple of days. Im so glad your boss was so helpful it makes all the difference. Maybe its the worry of this weekend that is upsetting your mind in work and letting you feel the pressure although i remember the days of needing to be in 2 places at once and people expecting you to be, its not nice. Just makevthe best choices you can this weekend. You are so motivated you will be fine so dont doubt yourself at all. And you pointed the kebabs so you havent been bad. Hope you feel better tomorrow hun x x x

We really need to start bein more strict & pointing those bits. Her ONLY Savin grace was that she made kids some fruit kebabs. Had strawberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi & apple pieces threaded on a stick. They had 2 each & they fetched those home as well. So I've had 2 of them & one creme egg. Resisted the tiger bread & doughnuts so far cos I want a loss tomorrow

Ah Joanne that's so nice to hear. (not about ur bf mum but about inspiration) When you just feel like sayin" ah blow it" to hear someone say that means so much. Well done on the huge loss so far, keep up the good work. If you've kept up to date wi my stories of MIL im sure you'll agree they're prob from same mould & do try to test us to the limit. Keep comin here & feel free to ave a good ole moan xxxkayxxxx

Gwen, the rest are right you'll look beautiful as a bridesmaid, even at a pound a week between now and then you can lose about 2 and a half stone by then which will make a huge difference and we're here for support all the way!
Blimey, are our Mothers as bad to our other halves as their Mothers can be to us? My Mum loves my BF in fact if I am not careful I think she'd like to run off with him herself lol Well done for making a stand Kay!
Joanne maybe she was trying to be nice but what she said sounded more encouraging in her head then it does out loud. You have done amazingly so far
Have a fab time at the wedding Emms, don't worry if you put on a little as it will come off just as fast, see my Christmas gain and loss lol!
Welcome to the thread Ruth, hope you find a lot of encouragement, everyone is very supportive.
Lisa, what a fab loss, well done lady!!
As for me, I have borked my shoulder being a little too enthusiastic when playing Just Danc 3 lol... but owies! Although got me out of shovelling snow this morning, there is a law here that means you need to clear snow from the pathways outside your property by 7:30 am!
Have a great day ladies, xxx
