Show Me Your Wedding Dresses!
Hi All I'm going wedding dress shopping for the very first time on Saturday... and I have NO IDEA what I'm looking for! I've seen loads in magazines and trawled the websites of the shops I'm going to, but I'm no closer to working out what I want. I think a large part of this is that the dresses are always worn by 6 foot…

Short Brides - Show me your dresses!
Hello all! I'm going on my very first dress shopping trip in just over a week's time - and I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for! When I was heavier, I knew exactly the kind of dress I wanted, A-line, strapless, a fair bit of tulle :embarassed: Now that I'm 40lb down however... I have no ideas. I'm 5'1", so a…

Strength training at home
Hello MFP! So I'm nearly at my goal weight, and now that I'm healthier, I have decided that I'm going to focus more on how I look and feel than what I weigh. Also, my upper body strength is pants, and I would like to improve this! I want to do some strength / weight training; however, my problem is money... I have none!…

Best Day Ever!
I've had such a great day today, I just had to share! I went to my friend's new house - she's been so busy with the purchase and move that I hadn't seen her for a few months - and the first thing she said was ' Wow honey, you look fantastic!' and proceeded to compliment me on my weight loss and tell me how proud she was of…

My weekend NSV
So last weekend I went shopping with my mum, who convinced me to try on a pair of size 12 (uk) jeans. I've been a size 14 for as long as I can remember, but after losing 27lb, I decided to go ahead. They NEARLY fit. I could do them up, but found them uncomfortable. I was quite upset by this, I thought for sure that I'd…

Weight tracking question for the girls
I've been ill the last week or so, and i haven't been keeping to my exercise (though I have stayed pretty well in my calories.) I also - lucky me - started my TOM on Thursday and have been feeling pretty awful the last couple of days. I was a bit concerned i would have fallen from my progress without the exercise, so i…

NSV / SV and self realisation!
I've noticed I've begun my usual decline into not trying as hard. I haven’t been exercising as much, and haven’t been as strict with my food. I lost another 2lb this weigh in (this morning), and I honestly didn't expect it. It got me thinking about why that might be. Here’s what I've realised: - I don’t even realise I’m…

30 Day Shred Help
Hi All! I've been doing the 30 day shred (not every day I must add, but usually about 3 days a week) and while it's getting easier, and I look forward to maybe starting level 2 soon, I'm REALLY struggling with press-ups. I just don't seem to be able to do more than about 10, and I'm pretty sure the ones I'm doing aren't…

Disheartened
About a year and a half ago I got whiplash (embarrassingly by smacking my head on a loft beam!:blushing: ). Long story short, once the pain subsided I noticed a lump on the base of my neck / top of my shoulders that I hadn't seen before. I of course went back to the hospital who told me it was a fatty build up, from the…

RANT!!!
Why is is it that some people can never just be happy for you, or support you in your decisions to try and better yourself? I'm the first to admit I'm not the most active person in the world, but I'm TRYING to lose weight, I'm TRYING to eat more healthily. In short, I'm TRYING to improve myself, and I happen to think I'm…

Exercise Help
Hi All I need some help coming up with an exercise regime. Not to delve into too much detail, but I have an illness that inhibits my breathing, and stops me from taking breath in if i allow myself to get too far out of breath. Because of this I'm struggling to lose weight at any great pace through exercise. I'm unable to…
