Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
Wish me luck today...my sister who is my MOH is coming over this afternoon. Don't get me wrong I love my sister, but somehow she manges to get on my last nerve. She makes comments about every little thing.....from things that FH & I are doing for our wedding .....to papers for work (FH & I work from home) that are next to the fax machine. I have tried to be good about including her in on things, but no matter what she always has something negative to say. She complains that FH & I bought things for the wedding, but she never offers to pay for anything. Thanks for listening to my mini-vent....I am off to make a pit of coffee and finish cleaning the house.

Good morning ladies....Just wanted to let you know that there is an Alight store now open in Plainview. I was driving on Old Country Road last night and saw it. I'm definitely going to try and check it out this weekend. From the window it looked like they have some really cute things. Here's the link to the website w/ directions:

I think they have somewhat reasonable prices especially if you catch a good sale.

Hello ladies,
My name is Suzanne and I've been a big girl my whole life. I love food and to bake!!!!![]()
I'm not exactly happy where I am now, but I love the way I look in my gown. I don't have any rolls busting out of it.
I would love a gtg, but I lve in brooklyn and dont' drive.I work in the city though.
![]()
Your Dress is Beautiful!!!!!!![]()
I would also love to do a GTG, I'm in Rocky Point. Don't feel bad I don't drive either...
All my life my wieght has gone up & down, I don't let it get me down anymore....I'm still working on losing even tho' FH loves me as I am....![]()
Oh thank you so much. I really do love the dress, I feel so comfortable in it and can't wait to dance the night away. I've been the same way, yo yo dieter my whole life. I'm 5'11, I can carry pretty well, but I would just love to lose 30 pounds. I would still be considered obese from the dr.s point of view, but I would feel very sexy back at that weight.. My FH loves me the way that I am so I don't mind as much anymore. I haven't bought clothes in a while though. It will come off when it's ready.
Your dress is beutiful!!! I actually tried on the same one and loved it ....but I hated the sleeves...made me itchy so I was trying to figure if I could cut them off![]()

but then I found my dress so now I don't have to ruin it

Excellent, yeah I'm not brave enough to go strapless. I had that problem when I had tried on another dress, so I opted for this one.

Re: The Official Big girls thread!!!
Hey ladies,There is a GTG for the NYC area. It's for April 12th at Metro 53 - Happy Hour.
I said I would go, so I'm wondering if anyone else would like to go too?
This was posted on our 07 board as
NYC GTG - April 12th - Metro 53 - Happy Hour?
I don't know how to put the link to this post.
