Thank you so much ladies, that really helped ease my mind.  I've been going loupy with worry.  Actually, I've been going up and down on with mood swings like crazy.  One minute my sig. other will be looking at me and I smile, the next he looks at me and literally burst into tears!  What's up with that? 

Anyway, I did call the shop, but they don't really have anyway to do anything with the order since they have to go to the company and order it that way at a regular size and then after we will do the alterations. Luckily, my mom can also do alterations, so that really is a relief. 

I just told my mom today, and she wasn't upset with me, but she wasn't happy either.  I can understand, she is very traditional and the fact that i'm living with Justin before getting married has put her at ends already, much less getting pregnant before hand.  But, honestly, she was ok with it....although, she wasn't as happy as she is for my sister.  Granted, my sister has been trying to get pregnant for about 7 years now and finally had to do IVF (the first time she did it she lost all 3 babies, this time she lost one and so far is having a boy!)

I know I can't compare her reaction to my sister the same as with me because, well, I just was not planning on this at all for about 4 more years.  But it's ok, everything will be ok.  I'm glad I found this little group, I think I am going to need it.

Thanks, my mom is actually a seamstress so she could let it out and what not.  Thank goodness!  I think I will not be showing too much, but you never know I guess.  I will have an issue with my breasts as they are already too large for my body. 

I have calmed down a bit just by reading you reply.  Thank you, I really appreciate it.  I need to be calm.  Thanks again!

There is no reason to stop losing weight over a wedding dress. I never understood why weddings have to be so complicated, you could just rent or buy a dress in that shape closer to the wedding date. Don't forget that becoming slim often makes women decrease in bra size.

If you are 200lbs (90 kgs) now it's possible to reach 170(77) by march, because the first pounds are the easiest to shed with diet and exercise, and there is no way 10 to 13kg are not going to show.

 well, the reason I cannot rent this dres in my size in March is because it is too new and it is a special order kind of thing.  I don't like complicated weddings either....I just have issues with my body and I don't want to look silly in my dress on my wedding day. :)  Thanks for the advice, I would love to weigh 180 by March, considering I weigh right now at 211lbs.  I can do it!

That is a beautiful dress. I sew a lot. That dress will be easy to alter, even with the beading. Continue on with your goals and have a fitting several weeks before the wedding so alterations can be made.

 Awesome!  Thank you for putting my heart back to the normal speed.  I'm stressing over nothing it seems.

You did much better than me last night....I totally cleaned my plate that was full of orange chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice and to top it off a fortune cookie with no fortune in it.  :(.....oh..and crab wontons. 

dear me, I was doing so good for the last 3 weeks and then this week I totally botched it!

Crab wontons? Wow, never seen those. How were they?

UD

 They were good!  :\  too good.  they have crab, (obviously) and cream cheese in them with a crispy outer shell.  So yummy.  *sigh*

I'm sure someone will come along and tell you I'm talking out of my hat and it's all really down to the 'magic of ketosis' or some such.  They usually do.  LOL!

 Ha!  I understand what you said and I can see it with the people I've known to be on Atkins.  When they start to eat those lovely little buscuits they gain it back rather quickly and usually more than what they started with. 

I will just do my portion control...I have to remember that it's all in the freezer and not going anywhere except slowly into the betterment of my body.  I don't have to eat it all right now because I have it!

The stew is a good idea too...now I just need to learn how to cook outside of my little circle of "on the grill with it." haha.

My big cat Roy...he's 15lbs...mostly muscle and just a huuuge cat.  He does not like closed doors.  He will jump up on his hind legs and paw at the door for forever and if it is the right kind of handle he will open it.  If it's a sliding door he will open it.  He also loves to have his tail pulled because he will flop down and just stare at you till you pet him.  When he wants attention he will jump up on his back legs and tap you with his front paws until you look at him and then he will start talking to me until you pet him then he pulls your hand down with his paw as he goes down to the floor and makes you pet him.  He loves my hair ties, he will put it under the rug and then 10 min later go diving under the rug to find it and flip it around and then put it back and then come back 10 min later to do the same thing.

My other cat Howie, who has one green eye and one blue AND unfortunatly is deaf....well, it's actually really hilarious....anyway, he likes to jump into the shower with me....he will just sit there on the floor of the bath tub.  he usually gets a bit wet too.   He loves to lap up the water out of the faucet...so funny.  And him and a lazer pointer really is too funny, i make him really dizzy and he continues to chase it up the stairs and runs into the walls.  He also plays fetch by himself, he will take his little ball in his mouth and then go to the top of the stairs and throw it down then run down to catch it and run back up the stairs.

Thirdly, my other cat that is lost at the moment, her name is Orange Cat...she would bite your nose if she liked you...she would run up to you when you are laying down and carefully bite the tip of your nose then start petting her head on your face.   The other thing is, she would only do this with Justin, but when he would pat his lap she would come running and jump into it and sit there.  Lastly, anytime you whistled she would run up to you and slap your face.

I absolutely loved my other cat that is also lost because the roomate left the door open...Marth, she would come to me and only me and any other time she would hide out under the couch until I was alone in the room, then she would come and just sit right down on my bladder and sleep.  I loved that cat so much.  I miss her :*(

I for sure feel sore, but I don't have shin splints thank goodness.  Exercise is new to me in the way that I haven't actually gone out of my way to do it.  My last job I seriously worked my butt off...I was a landscaper/mower, so on average I walked about 10 miles a day, but I just switched to a desk job and now I am just sitting around.  Since switching to this job, I've gained a lot of weight because of me being stupid...but i've always been a very muscled girl.  I don't look like I weigh as much as I do.  So I am new to exercise this way, but I use to be very physically active in the past with my job...but I've totally lost it.

I think i will try out the swimming on alternate days, but I will wait off on the weights until I have lost my initial 30lbs.  Right now I'm at 209 and want to get to 180.  So yea.  Thanks everyone

ummmmmm...off the record.....you have such a gorgeous face....your features are stunning.  

VERY paintable....very paintable.

 

I APPROVE THIS 

 Off the record.. or can it be on the record?  who knows! 

Thank you very much!  That's very nice of you, i'm very flattered!

Do you paint? I wish I could paint, I sometimes draw, but just faces.  I so cannot draw objects....it's impossible! 

good you should be....lol

I draw...I was supposed to go to the school of the arts, but I pursued my Track and field career instead. 

 Very nice!  I love the arts...I am looking at photography and ceramics, not so much the Track and Fielder type person...more so into just softball, haha.

I've met 2 guys....unfortunatly both I didn't click with. 

The first guy was a good ole' country boy....nice, just not for me.

The 2nd guy was a very very creepy experience.  But honestly, you can get a creepy experience even with someone you didn't meet online.  Unfortunatly, this guy was a trip, he drove 9 hours to see me...which I was kind of freaked out about because after talking to him on the phone he did something very very weird, which is so not appropriate for this disscussion board.  Anyway, to say the least he freaked me out because after he got here, he said he wanted to move there and be with me 24/7.  yea, not my cup o' tea.

However, I did get to know my fiance online, granted we met and knew each other a year or so before, but I got to know know him online. 

Oh, and my brother met his current girlfriend online and she's awesome!  But like I said, you could get someone awesome or someone not, it really is dependent on people.  I've met people just in person who have freaked me out even more than that one dude....so, i think of online as a really big bar, you get the good and the bad. :)

NO! It's not out of line at all!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!  I'm so glad i'm not alone with this stupid head of mine.  I'm so happy I think I'm going to add you to my friends list!  Congratulations on the lbs lost!  I don't even know you and I'm proud of you...maybe because you said exactly the same things in your reply as I'm saying in my head all the time! 

Thank you for your help!  I hope to wake up and to just have it all click and just want to do it, but I'm holding myself back for some stupid reason....I'll get there, I know I will!  :) :)

just realized about 5 different things at the same exact time....

head is near exploding.

i hate taking peoples cars.

Your life sounds so close to mine, well, except different.  Anyway, I think it's awesome to not have a ring....but maybe that's because my fingers are so chubby and i think a ring on my finger would just look silly. 

anyhow, my opinion is if he wants to get you a ring, tell him he can get a nice cheapo ring that no one will know the difference by.  who cares if it's real or not, or even if it's just a silver band?  what's wrong with that?

my boyfriend gave me a ring out of a gum machine...he spent like 5 dollars until he got the stupid ring.  haha.  i have it, but i don't wear it because it's a fantastic green emerald like ring.  anyway, he got that for me a really really long time ago, kind of a joke thing, but i still thought it was cute.

Oh, and I had to have monthly blood tests before they would refil my perscription.  This was to monitor my body, and to make sure I was not prego.  But, lucky for me I didn't have to mess with even the idea of being prego because I could hardly look at myself in the mirror much less anyone get that close to me to do that!  I know, I felt terrible.  Plus, I realised with my face that I was also gaining more weight because I felt terrible it was getting worse, and then as I saw my face clearing up over time, my weight started going down because I felt soooo much better about myself. I'm not sure if you have a weight loss or weight gain issue, but it helped tons with me.

again, best of luck and I hope you know that no matter what, you are beautiful and amazing no matter what! :)
