I missed this place so was so happy to see all your comments when I got back. I shall be replying and catching up on your blogs through the day, no doubt.
Sooo...after 10 hectic days away, I don't really know where to begin!
Firstly, I am not pregnant. Psychic woman either got it wrong, or was lying to cover up making a mistake when she saw my tummy, or maybe it was meant to teach me a lesson! I don't know. When I found out, I was gutted, but there are definite bright sides to it, so I am not worrying too much now. I really want to take a break from the whole thing.
I went away for my friend's wedding, at which I was bridesmaid. The dress did up! It didn't fit right at the top (I had to tape it to my chest and it looked pretty bad!) but that was nothing to do with me, it was poor dressmaking.
I have put the pics in my photo gallery.
Over my time away I lost 0.75lb, which was amazing as I had very little control over food choices, and drank about 100 gallons of alcohol (well, it felt like it).
I am off out for a meal tonight as today is my 27th birthday, but I am going to pick a healthy choice - despite the dress fitting, seeing the pictures from the wedding has made me feel awfully blimp-like so I want to keep making progress.
My next weigh in will be this Saturday, and my aim is to have lost one pound to take me to 11 stone 13.75lb (167.5lb).
Ok, I am pretty tired and I can't face writing any more right now, so I shall sign off here until tomorrow.
Have a great day! Congrats on being so good on your time off!
BTW - You looked great in the pics, but yeah your right about the dresses being poorly made. My mom is a seamstress and I can tell just by looking at the tops of those dresses in the picture. Really pretty fabric though!
I think its amaizing that you can be away for 10 days AND at a wedding AND still lose anything! I would probably take that opportunity to totally fall off the wagon and gain several pounds. Keep up the good work. You look great in the new pictures! Have a happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to you! You look great in the pictures. The dress looks good, too! I don't know anyone who's had luck with those bridesmaid dresses. I was in a wedding several years ago, and everyone's dress fit poorly. Mine didn't fit when we got it in, but because I lived in a different state than the other girls, I had to find my own seamstress. My friend's mom said she would help me out with it, and man, oh, man, did she help. That dress fit so great, I couldn't believe it! She even restructured the dress to give me more support and coverage and fit my body! I think most of the seamstress' do not take the time to completely alter the dress and get bogged down and rushed. It's a shame though, having to pay so much for something that isn't comfortable :( BUT, you sure look fantastic! It's a beautiful color.
