One important thing being my weight loss and the highs and lows that

come with that! The other being the lead up to my wedding day in October this

year. I am marrying the most wonderful, gentle man I have ever met who has

accepted me for all I am. He has never once said I need to lose weight but is so

supportive in the fact that I want to. I am not losing just because I have a

wedding dress to get into, although my god that's a huge incentive at the

moment. I am losing because I need to, for my health, comfort and well being, my

family and overall happiness. I have a box of nearly new clothes in my wardrobe

about two sizes lower than my current size. All of which I was wearing four

years ago. I want to be wearing them again! Please follow me on my weightloss

journey and wedding planning and know that all support, encouragement, advice

and suggestions are welcome :)

I love this hairstyle and am thinking along these lines for my wedding. I am getting "made up" by a company called Total Brides who, as it happens, did this girls hair. There have been some clip in extensions used to make it longer and fuller. I have been madly growing mine but will lose some length once it is curled. So I think this is the way I will go... sooooo excited!!

This is me having lost 25kg! (I have since put 35kg back on!!) I know only a head shot, but I was still very conscious of how the rest of me looked.
My hair is naturally curly but even that won't go like in this photo now.. maybe there is just too much harsh grey hair now.. grrrr
But I would love to have a slim face again!! So I am keeping this photo up as inspiration.
