that's amazing jan! well done!
well...i just managed to fit into my size 22 Papaya tracksuit that i couldn't even fit into when i was a size 22!!! so in your face stupid black trousers!!!!
this means, coupled with the evidence of my size 24 jeans falling off me ( i mean actually falling off!) and my size 24 black trousers having to be constantly pulled up, that i have dropped a size in trousers in some brands. :bliss:
i am happy in the knowledge that when i start Jazzercise, i have something to wear!!!

Hi all! Just checking in; I've been pretty quiet this weekend.
Thursday, my mates and I went to a goodbye party for Lucas, who is off to Birmingham, England for the next few years. Got in around 3am. Was nice, but the sleeping on Carole and Ross' couch bit... not so much.
Yesterday, I went to a Pakistani restaurant with some of my best mates. It was amazing! The food was so freaking amazing!!! We got back in around 1am, but brought the party back to their flat. Ended up staying awake until about 4:30 am or so.
Woke up early to go to a ball game; left at halftime and checked in on the ManU score - we were up by 1. Drove to "J-Vegas" where I am now hanging out with my sister. Going to watch her ball game. Staying the night, then up early in the AM to make it home in time for cooking class.
How's everyone doing?

OMG that dress is gorgeous!!!!
I want one!!!
Well done Gem on the trackies, i would ignore the black trousers, if your 24's are falling off then you are a 22 girl, go and have a try on in a few shops when you get chance, i bet you are surprised.
Just back from WI.....4lbs gone for me! YAYYAYAYAYAYAY! Didn't quite achieve my target but only by 1lb so not too worried. I'm now officially over halfway (i bet i alter that ticker soon, think i might want to go to bmi 25!)
My next goal:
To lose 6lbs by 19th Oct (the day after the wedding)
I know its prob ambitious as i am eating the day before, but that would take me in to the 14's, a place i've not been for a very very long time.
Enjoy your sunday

i'm great thanks, you?
i've got wedding fever! :love047:
found the bridesmaids dresses i want and at £15 a go they are a total bargain and look so expensive! i'm making up a picture board of everything i would like as i am going with a silver and white theme because it will be a winter wedding.
i will post it when i'm done as i would love some input on what looks good and what doesn't. we have a tight budget so i can't splash out but to be honest it's not about the money and you can get some lovely things for not much nowadays xxx

Yay i had a winter wedding Gem, i would post some pics but they are all on my old laptop. Sounds fab let us know all of the details i'm a total wedding fiend! I really can't believe you can buy a dress as beautiful as the one you showed us, for less that £100! Thats crazy my veil cost £155 3 years ago and now its sat in a box in the loft with holes in the back where it was trodden on. I really wish i'd have thought about ebay as the shops just go in to rip off mode as soon as they hear wedding and although its the most fantastic day ever, you only get to wear it all once.
One of my friends got married last year and ordered her veil from ebay it cost her £25 and was almost identical to mine! so defo shop around i booked and planned my wedding in 3 months so didn't really have chance to look around but wish i had as i'd have saved a fortune!

i have a whole year to plan mine thankfully!!! i have a friend who makes jewellery so i have collared her and asked her to make me a crystal bouquet and buttonholes. i think real flowers although lovely are a total waste! i would love to have something bespoke that i can keep.
might have to ask her to help me with the church decoration and the reception decoration aswell!!! that's what you get for volunteering to help hehe!
i wasn't too into the wedding planning thing up until now. i emailed the vicar and the reception venue yesterday and i think that made me think "better get my skates on!!!"
we want a snow honeymoon aswell so i have to get my thinking cap on to find somewhere in europe that will have snow in Oct/Nov. i know that's a rarity now though! might end up going to the scandinavian fjords or something.
eeeeeeeeeeeee i'm so excited!!! x

You should be fine with any of the ski type resorts, french/swiss alps etc. Crystals look fab and agree with the flowers, i had real bouquets but had crystal centerpieces for the tables and crystal garlands on the top table all lit by candles and everything looked icy and frosty. It worked really well.
Better go and start lunch for my little one, he'll be up from his nap in a mo and ready to terrorise us again lol.

blimey! that's pretty romantic Mike proposed to me and we had only been together about 2 months!!! i turned him down (even though i wanted to say yes!) because i wanted him to make sure he was sure. 4 months later he proposed to me on Christmas Day 2006 when we were enjoying a lovely frosty walk in the Snowdonia National Park it was lovely! x
