Dear Mary!

You have done such an awesome job with your weight loss! I'm sure you are proud of yourself!

Just wondering how your wedding plans are going! Did you buy your dress yet?

How exciting!

Dear Mary!

You have done such an awesome job with your weight loss! I'm sure you are proud of yourself!

Just wondering how your wedding plans are going! Did you buy your dress yet?

How exciting!

You are so sweet to ask! And thank you so much for the encouragement it really means a lot, and I was having a bad day and it was nice coming on here and seeing this thread, thank you! My weight loss has really slowed down since getting under 200 so instead of feeling proud of myself I usually feel like this --> lol. I keep telling myself I have a deadline!!

My wedding plans are pretty much right on schedule though.. our official invitations go out this week (the "save the dates" were sent months ago already). I will have to scan them in and post on here what they look like, I think they are too cute!! I still need to do the little things like buy favors, toasting flutes, cake cutter and servers, guestbook, gifts for the bridal party.. that kind of stuff, but the big things are taken care of. Still have to decide on a few music choices, like what song to walk down the aisle to and for our first dance, etc.

I have been waiting patiently for February to try on Dresses. I promised myself I would wait until I was under 180 or wait till February First.. Hopefully they will both happen at the same time anyways! I saw this dress on david's bridal and think it is really pretty. I have no idea what size wedding dress I am though - seriously!!

I am very nervous about trying on dresses next month.. Me and the mirror still aren't on the best terms lol! Maybe I will post about it when the time comes to try them on : )

I'm getting very excited about the wedding coming up. It's really helping me stay strong when I want to eat more then I should. I can be strong for 103 more days!! After that, it might be a different story.. but for now.. must fit into wedding dress and maybe wear strapless!!

So my life for the next 3 months is save money, lose weight, save money, lose weight, and lose weight!! I am on a mission!

Thank you so much for asking again! I'm really so excited (if you couldn't tell). How is everything going with you? How is life in Dubai?

Oh Mary, the dress is BEAUTIFUL! I'm sure you'll have many to choose from. Keep up the GREAT work and sounds like you have some pretty good motivation!

Re: Mary how are your wedding plans going?

great looking dress. Remember too you are much smaller on the way back down then you were on the way up because of your new lean body tissues you have been growing eating your Atkins and working out.

Just wait till they fit you you will be surprized.
I remember the frustration of the scale slowing but remember each pound now represents a much bigger percent of the remaining weight to lose so it is a bigger shed amount now then before when celebrating

Thanks for the encouragement, BenandHallesMom and 2big

Well 180 was my lowest adult weight, so I dont' really have anything to compare it to.. so everything is a big question mark to me, which I'm fine with I can't wait to be in uncharted territory!!

Re: Mary how are your wedding plans going?

How exciting! I love the dress. I bet you will be shocked at how good it looks on you. I personally haven't worn a dress in at least 10 years.

Re: Mary how are your wedding plans going?

That dress is beautiful!!! You'll look simply gorgeous in it!!!

Re: Mary how are your wedding plans going?

Mary! That dress is gorgeous! I know you will get down to 180 by February, knowing you ! You really have done an awesome job, and like I said you should be so proud of yourself. You had a goal in mind last year I remember when you first came on here, and you just stuck with it no matter what! You had you dream and your goal always at the front of your thoughts and hopes and dreams, and nothing was / is going to stop you .


What a nice reward though, to have a romantic wedding to an "I'm sure very wonderful" groom of yours and you are feeling much better about yourself! I'm sure your wedding pictures will look lovely too, and you can share them and treasure them for the rest of your life and not be shy about them!

But you have to promise to post some pics of your wedding on here okay? We want to see how you look and how your wedding is on your special day!


As for me, well things are going good here. I've been strong the past week, and I think this will be my break to keep my strength to lose this weight, and get rid of it forever. I've been dragging my feet too long and its time for me to shape up and get cracking as they say. My husband went to Jordan for a week to see his mom and just got back last night, and he said he noticed that I lost a bit of weight, so I was happy about it. He even brought a tin of sweets from this famous sweet shop in Amman, but I told him I'm sorry but I am not planning to touch the sweets, he said no problems hon! And I'm not goig to even have one, eventhough I know how yummy those sweets are...

We've been on a week holiday practically here because of different events, so I've been busy with the kids while hubby has been away, so we went to two movies, played board games, did other things, it was nice. Tomorrow we go back to work again to the daily grind. Not looking forward to it, but oh well.

Anyways that's about all! Keeping our fingers crossed that we can go to Germany this summer for a holiday (depends on the finances) (I have family there, plus my Dad wlil be flying there from Canada -- so it wlil be nice to see him again, and my Aunt/ Uncle and others who live there).

That's about all! Keep us posteda bout your wedding details okay? I'm sure it might get a bit stressful as you get closer to your day...with all the little knickknacks that you have to take care of! You can do it!

divaindubai -
You are too sweet, thank you so much for all your kind words!! I will try to keep you posted about the wedding plans as things come closer to the date.

Sounds like you are doing great, awesome job resisting the sweets!! And that's so cool that your husband noticed your weightloss after he got back. It's funny how we don't notice it when we're around someone all the time, but leave for a week and come back, and they notice!! I hope you get to go to Germany this summer. Sounds like you get to visit some very exciting places, I am jealous!! I love to travel, I go to the bookstore and always look in their travel section just so I can dream about going to these places one day.. One day!!


Thanks everyone for the encouragement!! I couldn't have come this far without the support of everyone here!! I still have a long ways to go, so I'll be here for a long time still!! I will definitely post pictures of the wedding when the time comes and bore you all silly with the details!!

I'm off to work now - have a great day everyone!
