starting in april/may :)

I cant wait to shop in normal shops at the minute i have to stick to evans or new look inspire range (which round here is poor barely anything in it!) So to just be able to walk into New Look and wear a size 12 Sounds like heaven to me All those shops with smaller (cheaper ) clothes i'll be needing a new wardrobe (s) to put them in

Clucks well done 11lbs is fantastic, and your right not many other dieters can say that! I've had a fair few negative comments too but i'm not listening to them.. I know it works, i've seen it work on here and on other places too.

Hello to Meneither Good luck with CD you'll be in those 36's in no time

What really annoys me about peoples lack of support is when they say things like FAD diets don't work, you should be eating healthy and exercising more like you have never tried it before and it normally comes from the people who don't follow that advice and are naturally lucky they can pig out and not have to worry. And they always sound so patronising

Rant over

i received many negative commets when i started, mainly due to the thought of no food but once the pounds drop off they`ll be seeing it`s the best thing i ever did.
i have to still cook for hubby and 5 kids which i think will be hard but as i can be a stubborn moo i am determined to see this through and not cheat

I couldnt agree more, its like people assume it never dawned on us to eat healthier/less and exercise more! Honestly some people... Another one is well you look fine to me, errrmm well that might be the case but my joints still ache, i get ill all the time, i'm unhappy too but i wont diet to get rid of these things because you think i look fine Ppphh

Some people, they'd be dangerous with brains

I know it sounds silly, but i would love to hand a piece of clothing over the counter, and be able to look the (inevitably slim) shop assistant in the eye - i'm always sure they're thinking "oo she's bigger than that size" or "she'll look rubbish in this she's too fat for it". I know it's probably crazy and they probably don't give two hoots, but it would be nice to not think like that anymore! x

i have two slimmer sisters and i go clothes shopping with them they always wanto to go to primark. NOTHING fits in primark except the nighties. I just want to shop in normal shops. when i was a size 14 i hit new look, etam, dotty p's etc and even the skater shops. I have a lovely (if you like the style) punky pair of trousers and funky top. I want a punkyfish top though lol.

Shoes!!!!!!

I love shoes, i have far too many pairs! I adore shoe shopping and can by them from anywhere Although it will be nice to wear higher heels and boots that zip up all the way

 

[Misdee]

hmmm high boots that arent from evans! roll on winter

Hiya!

May I join in too? I get married in a couple of months and, at the moment, my wedding dress is too small!! It's beautiful, I can't wait to fit in to it! I'm trying it on at the bridal shop every two weeks so it will be interesting to see the dress coming in as the pounds fall off (I hope!)

I started the CD on monday.. I am doing the 790 plan at the moment rather than SSing.. It seems to be going really well, looking forward to finding out how much I've lost on monday!

Any tips would be really really appreciated, thank you!

Well I started yesterday. I too need to fit into a wedding dress, but not until june 08.

I am just desperate to get a dress!
I went shopping last weekend, I had an appointment in a lovely shop in Helensburgh. I was CONVINCED they would all laugh at me and tell me they had nothing to fit, but do you know what? They were so lovely to me!

I looked ok in dresses, but I want to lose tons of weight so I can go back and say - "Hey look - I am going to look better now!".

The lovely girl did say "I think curvy women look better in wedding dresses than skinny ones". I was so impressed.

But anyway, I have 99lbs to lose before June 08.

Let me know how your dress fittings go!!

Hi Stacey, the sites great isn't it Everyone is so friendly and nice.
I haven't really thought longterm weightloss and I am better at working at smaller goals but I guess if I think about it then about 6 stone would be my dream!!!

How about you?

 

[Tinkerbell1987]

hey i am lookin to loose around 4 and a half in total, but as u can see by my ticker my goal for that is to get down to a healthy bmi which is around 4 stone

and i am hoping to do that by the middle of august

hiya notsotrim!

Congrats on your wedding! I know you must be fed up of hearing "it will fly by" but it does!!! We had two years to go when we first started planning (because we picked a quirky date!) and now we only have 11 weeks!!!

I went back to have another fitting a couple of days ago and it hadn't come in anymore but then we'd spent the week in eurodisney before I started CD and I'd put 6lb on by the time I came home!!!! So for the dress to have had "no change" rather than "well it had come in by a couple of inches from when it came in the shop, now it's back to where it was again" was a bonus!!!!

I think any bride looks beautiful - but I really do have to lose the weight as my dress is too small at the moment!! (Why did it seem a good idea to make me fit my dress instead of making a dress fit me???!!!!!!) So there might be a few stressful times in the next 11 weeks but I can't wait to see my fiances face when I walk up the aisle in my (fitting!) dress!!
