Honestly eating out is my biggest weakness. I love going out to eat and me and my FI go out all the time! I would probably be like 20 pounds thinner if I just stopped eating out! But, alas that's not much of a life...

My best advise, do what's best for you and your FI, if everyone else doesn't like it, oh freakin well, they'll get over it... This is SO true! It's funny how so many people that were "definitely" coming aren't and a bunch of people who weren't going to come are... Your wedding is a long way away and it is going to be wonderful - as long as you and your FI are there - then that's all that matters!

Here's a cute idea - they also have packs of clips that you buy and hand out to your guests (ladies I guess): This one is adorable: http://www.flowerclip.com//close-out...CID=9&SSCID=37

I went for these because I knew I wanted flowers for my hair & didn't want to worry about dying flowers in my hair! I will try to get a pic of them in my hair...swear! I saw that they weren't super cheap BUT honestly for two red orchids (like the pic I showed) plus the costs of making them work with clips I think that they're still less expensive. Plus if they're really realistic then you can wear them over and over (I'm not sure when but I'm sure we could figure something out). i can't wait to see them in your hair!!!!! Yay, you promised!!!!

I love this one! Fresh Blooms

Christa - these are so pretty! How realistic do you think they look... I'm starting to think about replacing some of the more expensive items (orchids, etc.) with silk... I want a picture of you with the flower in your hair!!!!!

I totally understand! I was actually planning on doing something significantly less expensive but for some reason my dad got really hung up on the invitations being nice... it was the one thing he just kept on saying over and over was how he wanted to see the invitations, blah, blah, blah... Anyway, let's hope he likes them!

Thanks ladies, I'm so glad you like them! Jenetta - I think I'm going to simply stack them in order of size in the envelope with the smallest on top. I have a feeling they're already going to need quite a bit of postage! Though... now you have me thinking about a tiny bit of ribbon tying them together... hmmmm.... I like it! Maybe I'll pop into Michael's and see if I can find something light and inexpensive... Great thinking! Christa - I'm so glad you like the RSVP card! I had to sort of argue it through with my parents because they thought it was confusing (I responded that if someone was too dumb to figure it out then they shouldn't come to the wedding... I'm so mean!) Even though they're sort of formal I wanted to set the tone that this is going to be FUN and (sort-of) casual. Hopefully too many people won't get confused. But honestly if they do all they have to do is go to our website and it should become clear. I hope so at least! I have to admit that I think I would have lost my mind trying with DIY invites. I become obsessed... though part of me wishes I had done it that way! Amy - they were a bit pricier because of all the inserts. I think the invite alone wasn't bad maybe $3/each but then each insert was another $1 (therefore $6/each). I think that this company does some really gorgeous invites at a relatively reasonable price (compared with many others I have seen). If you are interested in them I have a bunch of samples I ordered so I can always send them to you since we're both in LA. Thankfully they're going to send the envelopes early so we can start writing out addresses... I am so late on all this!

Hmmm... let me go check... I know Pop Secret makes one but I can never find it in my grocery store. The one I buy is Orville Redenbocker 100 calorie bags - 94% fat free kettle corn. I really fixes my craving for something a little sweet in the nightime. One bag makes 6 cups popped... the whole bag is only 1 point!

Good tip Jules & Jilly! I think I remember Rebeecca putting one triangle on a western alternative bagel for 2 points total! Also if you guys haven't eaten th 94% fat free kettle corn you are missing out! The 100 caloirie bag is only 1 point and definitely a good amount... I totally eat one every night!

You can still have those things just go to the grocery store and find some lighter options! Here are some ideas: Chavrie Basil & herb goat cheese - 2 Tbsp = 1 point! 1 Tbsp. light cream cheese = 1 point... add it to pasta sauce right at the end to make it a delicious cream sauce! reduced fat string cheese - I can't remember what brand but there's is one brand that 1 piece = 1 point... Use the Dreamfield's pastas - they taste like regular pasta but since they are high fiber they are half the points. You can do it! I'm sure there's other great ideas people can give you!

Tammy - you definitely look better! That model doesn't really fit the style of the dress... I'm not sure why. She just doesn't have that floaty look!

I also bought these adorable orchid mini-orchid candles from there. I haven't figured out how I plan on using them to be honest but they're so pretty! the ones I have are much smaller than this picvtures though - that's why I haven't figured out a use for them.

Thanks Jules! I know it really did feel great. I grabbed a size (waist inch size not traditional dress sizing...) smaller than the last time i was at that store and when I came out I realized they were still to obig and I needed to drop one more size! It felt great! I mean how often does jean shopping feel good

I like #5 the best and #1 as my second favorite!

Very pretty edyta!

Oh yeah, I meant to tell you guys! Anyway this week I lost 0.5 (even after the Superbowl Party fiasco!). That was good but not the big news... Today I went jean shopping and bought jeans in smaller sizes!!!! Yippppeeeeee!

My motivation is that dress in my closet and making my FI cry when he sees me walking down the aisle. I have been really bad about tracking and so I have not done as well. I need to keep tracking that is the best way to lose the weight. I also have a monthly pass and I think it makes all the difference to: A) Go to meetings and be accountable to my WW book. Have the online tracking system (I love it). C) Get motivated at the meetings and get great recipes and info about products that are out there that taste great but are low points!

I bought these fans from Bliss Wedding Market I think I'm actually going to use them as place-cards or just favors at each seat.

Thanks Kate!
