Ok. I don't know which one to get, but hopefully bribing myself will help me finish this semester.
Yeah so I'm super procrastinating about work and I had to check out that site. Their line looks very similar to ModCloth (retro/vintage inspired) which features customer pics modeling the clothes so you can see what they look like on real people. You'd probably like their stuff too.

I hate having to choose as well. I genuinely don't care when I say I don't care... and if I do have something in mind, I would rather the other person be happy with their choice then have a stupid argument over which restaurant to go to. Also, when someone forces me to choose, the conversation usually goes like this:
"Where do you want to go?"
"I don't mind."
"PLEASE. You pick this time!!!"
"Er.... ok... how about... uh... that place?"
"Really????? You want to eat THERE? I'm not in the mood for that kind of food..."
I don't understand. If I don't care where we eat, and you obviously do, then pick yourself! Don't force me to pick something you're not going to like!

Also, for any friends or family who are non-MFP, when they ask how much I've lost, I say 1 extra pound than I actually have lost as inner-encouragment. Then when I actualy do lose it I can say 'Boom! See you could do it! That statement is now completely true'
I'm worse, I won't even have a watch on when I weigh in!
I also weigh myself naked.
Here, too, but before, not after my shower. I have very thick hair that holds about 8 oz of water, not to mention what's in my skin. Not too obsessive, huh?
Same here and I have actually cut a foot off my hair just to weigh less

Wow, I'm finally caught up.!
Confession: I am too tired and too lazy to work out today.
Confession: I told a hard boiled egg "F--- you" and threw it in the garbage because it would not peel.

Yes! That is our conversation too. It's not chivalrous when I don't really care.

I feel the same way about an egg that won't peel!! I use some baking soda in the water and an ice bath immeditely after. Usually helps, but some of those d@%& things just won't peel.0 -

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones. Sometimes we let our 7 year old decide so we don't have to argue about it.0 -

I'm usually good about that sort of thing :P I am fearful of spending a lot of money... but I love these dresses. I wouldn't mind if you gave me some suggestions on which dress to buy. A lot of them at Boutique 1861 get sold out super fast though...FluffySandwich wrote: »

How did that dress look on? Is it more fitted or does it have 20's vibe?
Either way, very pretty though.0 -

I love this dress. I hate ordering clothes online, though. I like to try it on up front. I have a wedding over Memorial Day and should really start thinking about what I'm going to wear.0 -
I love so many of these dresses! Anyone know how UK or Canada sizing translates to US? I think UK is 4 more, but don't know about Canada...0

Either way, very pretty though.
It hangs beautifully because of the weight of the beading so it does drape in a fitted kind of way, if that makes sense. I have to avoid anything really fitted because, being tall, most dress waists end up sitting too high, at my ribcage. It has a total roaring 20s flapper vibe (which is perfect for my build).
The other benefit is being able to wear a NORMAL BRA. So many formal dresses seem to be either strapless or backless or some other bra-preventing design.0 -
Confession: I haven't been shopping for new clothes since gaining 20 lbs. Makes me too depressed.0

It's when all the princesses come in with a full face of make up, do 10mins casual walking on the treadmill, use the lightest weights on the machines (because they don't want to get too bulky) and criticise the fat-*kitten*' such as myself for lifting heavy. Today's comment "Don't you think she should do more cardio before she does that? The muscle will be too hidden under the layers of fat, which makes what she is doing pointless." In my head I'm thinking "Walking the speed of a 90year old pensioner so your face doesn't melt is a waste of your time so why don't you F*** OFF." Obviously I didn't say this, my gym is the only one in the area with a squat rack, not getting myself banned for them. They probably won't turn up ever again...
People actually say things like this?! What a bunch of a-holes!
Yea, I don't know if the fact I had earphones in they thought I couldn't hear them. It was the only part I caught in between songs. I don't really want to know what else they said. And apart from them, I was the only other girl in the gym (it's a small gym) so I know it was about me. It sucks. They suck. The whole situation sucked.
That's ridiculous. I think I would've confronted them about it. But then again, back in my heaviest days probably not. Don't let idiots like that discourage you though. If what you're doing is working keep at it. In a few months time you'll be much improved and they will remain the same indefinitely. Walking at 2 mph on the treadmill does nothing but waste time. I don't judge anyone at the gym regardless of what kind of shape they are in if they're making an effort. But the slow treadmill walkers yeah I kinda judge that, haha. I think they do it just to be able to say they "go to the gym" like its the trendy thing to do.
I've gotten more aggressive and confrontational since losing weight. Maybe my T levels are higher, lol, I dunno. I'm not a jerk or anything but I'll stand up for myself when appropriate whereas before I would just stay quiet and be very passive.
I think this is a confidence thing. 24lbs ago I only wore jeans & flats to work. Now i'm in the nice dress pants & heals again. I feel more confident and am more willing to speak my mind and give opinions (especially toward my husband's idiot of a boss).

The size chart shows UK to US. I thought Canada was the same as US without such bad vanity sizing. Is that not the case?0 -

I keep a stash in my car boot. Which if fine through the winter, then I have to think of somewhere else for the summer because it melts and makes a big chocolate mess in my car... which can be mistaken for something else.
This reminded me of an embarrassing story... a few years ago I went out shopping with my cousin. I was wearing white shorts. We got to the mall, wandered slowly around, got ice cream then finally went into a store. A sales lady came up to me and discreetly told me that I had something on my shorts. There was a brown stain right in the center of my butt. Turns out that a younger cousin had been in the car earlier, eating chocolate covered almonds. I sat on it and melted it.
I bought a new pair of pants in that store. I'm still paranoid about wearing white pants/shorts.
Oh no, how embarrassing. At least you were somewhere that you could buy new pants right away.
Hopefully you can laugh at it now.
I think I laughed about it then... thankfully I was having a confident day lol. What amazed me was how nobody else said anything. I was walking around the mall for about half an hour looking like I sharted in my white shorts and no one said anything... Okay, I may not want to be the one to point that out to a someone else either, but still.
Moral of the story: If you see someone with something on their clothes (or in their teeth), bring it to their attention. You can do it discreetly. They may be embarrassed at first, but in the end I'm sure they'd appreciate it!0 -

US and Canada sizes are the same. I believe UK is 4 larger (well, 2, because they jump by even numbers.0 -

Hmmm...I must be challenged. I'm looking at Modcloth and just seeing UK being specified. The "details" button is just giving me length.0 -
I can't say I've done much clothes shopping here in Canada, even though I've been living here for years!!! I think, though, that they are the same in terms of sizes. I ordered a medium dress from Boutique 1861 and was not able to fit into it... and accidentally broke one of the straps trying to get the thing off of me! So hopefully I am able to lose enough weight to be able to fit into it... that's one of my motivations!marissafit06 wrote: »WestCoastJo82 wrote: »I love so many of these dresses!

No problem, they do have adorable clothes!!! The trick is getting them before they are all sold out.

EDIT: Also, they are delivered in awesome packaging with a handwritten note saying something kind. Mine was along the lines of "You are going to look so beautiful in this dress!'' It's just nice to see that kind of thing sometimes :P0 -
