Rebecca you deserve a few days off plan just get back on before you start putting it on! I totally ate a ton today fgor Thanksgiving but I know it sounds silly but for being thanksgiving and everythign I think I actually did pretty good! TammyM- What's your plan for toning up?

Once you get them please let me knwo the quality! Which ones are they sending you? Do you know where they ship from? Also I was just looking at your website - it is so cool! really pretty Did you put it together yourself or have someone do it for you? It looks so professional!

Great find Ana! I love those printed fans they have. Our colors are red/oranges/ etc. and they have both red fans with printing and orange ones! I'm seriously thinking about ordering half andf half - we could also have it printed with something personal for people to keep as a favor!

Tammy - why are your teasing us!!!! I want to see her pics so bad and now I can't wait!

Welcome back Rebecca!!!!!! Yay! Its sounds like it was a great wedding - I can't wait to se your pics - I'm sure they're amazing. Please do talk to Maye about the bouquet - hopefully it'll help us future brides who are getting our flowers through her. I'm also pricing out flowers thru Emeline at the Hilton but we shall see. I can't wait to see your centerpeices - they sound so pretty! I think that I'm going to specific to Emeline that I want her to run the timeline of the day - I feel like another bride had said something similar about Maye not being very forceful. And since Tammy's right -it can be confusing for two coordinators to know who is taking the lead. I'm so glad you liked DJ Ricardo (Patino or Patina?) because that's who I've hired as well. We are planning on just bringing our ipod for him to play off of but I'm curious as to his usual set-up? Did he play from a computer, CDs, records? It sounds to me like if you took that raw footage and had it edited into a DVD it would be exdactly what you're looking for. Raw footage is always horrible!!!!! Since you're in So CAL. I think you could totally find an editor to put it together for you for a great price - hmmmm.... I'm going to look on Craigslist right now.... While a lot of these people shoot weddings I'm sure you can hire them for editing alone for a discounted price: CINEMATIC WEDDING VIDEO MASTERPIECE!! $199 AND SPECIAL PACKAGES!! DVD Author, After Effects, Compositor, Editor, Available. C demos now. WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHY! Wedding Video Slideshows and Photo Montages

I was thinking the very same thing! Funny how the name of the invite is "Mexico"

OK, I've just ordered the samples for these two from White Aisle. I would switch the colors to red and orange for the first one and probably red (not pink) for the second. What do you guys think? Which one do you like better? I hope you can see them on ther white background...

Look how cute these little fans are for $0.99/each. I thought these could be a really cute gift - especially if your wedding takes place during the hotter months: White Paper Fan http://www.whiteaisle.com/paperfan.htm Sandalwood Fan http://www.whiteaisle.com/sandalwood_fans.htm I love these custom boxes with your filling of choice. You can also order the boxes without filling if you want to. Also you can order them without writing so you casn use them as placecards - love these! And only $3.25/box! http://www.whiteaisle.com/labeled_boxes.htm http://www.whiteaisle.com/damask_favor.htm Perfect for a pink/yellow themed wedding: http://www.whiteaisle.com/spring_flower_favor.htm These are cute for decorations though a little pricey - floral bouquet candles http://www.whiteaisle.com/bouquet_candles.htm Pedastal Shell Dish http://www.whiteaisle.com/shell_dish.htm I

I did WW last year but I've been very bad this past year at maintaining, (new job with a cafe in it) so I'm back on again...starting after Thanksgiving! I ordered a bunch of WW cookbooks from Amazon and Ebay, so I will have lots of good recipes to share. 1 year and 1 month till the wedding and 20 lbs to take off!!! You can totally do it! You have lots of time - think about it all you have to do is at the minimum lose 2 pounds a MONTH - that is VERY reasonable! Welcome! I highly recommend the "Points Calculator" by the way - it is a life saver!

Yay - we have new members! I made my goal - but so did a bunch of others so not as much $$... but still - at least I don't have to PAY $50!

Welcome! I went to a great wedding on Elbow Cay in the Bahamasa last year - it was really gorgeous. If you have any major questions let me know and I'll ask my girlfriend who got married there.

I'm chiming in late but I think that's a great idea (hiring Juan to take some more pictures - you could even do it the day before so as to not cramp your wedding day). Do the rocks have to be THE famous rocks or will any rocks do? Also sounds like Finisterra is a great option!

OK, I really need to get in on this whole lottery thing!

I hope so! Suddenly I'm not so sure... oh well if I lose all it is is $50 out of my pocket...

I think that's great! I did the exact same thing when I first got my calculator. That way I knew excatly how much to have to make sure my points added up to the right amount of the end. Plus I could steer clear of those higgh point items that don't seem work it. I think the best thing you can do at first is get use to drinking tons of water. At first it was an effort but now I can easily drink like a 1/2 gallon of water a day! Also when I get hungry and I'm out of points I like to make the following "salad" for 0.5 points: 1 can drained and chopped hearts of palms 1 chopped tomato (0.5 pts.) drizzled with vinegar It's actually quite delicious and satisfying (if you like these things). if you do it without the tomato then it's 0 points!

Thanks for the congrats! Yay! More WW gals! This thread isn't limited to JUST WW people - everyone who wants to watch their weight (or try to lose or maintain) is invited! I have to be super good today because if I can weigh 1 pound less tomorrow than I can collect everyone's money here at work! hee hee hee... On that note, I'm going to go get some water!

I think Janeyt loved Bradley... I tried to book him for our wedding but he was already taken

At least he matches Tom Brady 64%! He is so crazy hot it actually makes me start to feel a little sick

OK here's mine (I prefer the first one for obvious reasons!)... it is so random - I don't look like any of these people in REAL life! But it is fun!

I don't have a date or a place yet and I have been having the hardest time finding one. Every where I look it seems they are just about to start construction! Argh! Does anyone know if the Sheraton has any flexability with their menu options?? Did they like the food? Thank you!! Welcome Shannon! Are you looking into Cabo? I can send you the Sheraton's menu when I get home tonight - I have it on my home cmputer if you're interested. It's a gorgeous hotel - really lovely. Tell us what aspects are most important and we can make suggestions! All Inclusive or Not: Ceremony Location: Waterfront or church Food: Most important or only kinda important Atmosphere: Party, elegant, family friendly I have my sight review up here somewhere and we went to go see a million places... let me see if I can find it.

Ann - Very cute! I think I like the one with the Calendar. I think that it'll be especially helpful for your guests to plan out their trip too!

If everyone is contributing equally you were raised equally by both and you want to list everyone's name then go with alphabetical - no one can argue the order later!

Welcome Nicole! You and me are in the exact same boat - I wanted to lost about 15 pounds before my wedding in June. I've lost about 7 or so since I started 6 weeks ago so now I'm working on the remaining 10 pounds. If I ever get there I'll reassess (baby-steps!). Have you done WW before? I never had but it is really manageable - I love it! It is just working really well for me because it's not so much different than normal life. Anyway - I don't know about this "No Points Soup" - will you post it here or on the WW receipe thread? I LOVE soup! Also Rebecca (who's on her honeymoon) had lost like 20 pounds on WW and has posted up some great recipes and stuff. Sarah, don't worry or feel bad. The lady who talks at the meetings has this really cute saying she uses when people talk about how they overate on day or one week, "We're trying to be slim - not saintly." I don't know why but I love that! Anyway they also say that one meal/one day/one week isn't going to make you fat... It doesn't mean that you can't have a bad week at work and eat more than usual - it just means that when you're done you go back to eating right. As of Thursday at my weigh in I had lost a little less then 8 pounds but since then I've already used ALL my flex points plus to extras... and it's only Sunday! Thank god my flex points re-set on Thursday! I'm with you on saving my points for pie! Here are the tips they gave us about dealing with Thanksgiving: 1. Decide exactly what and how much you're going to eat aheasd of time (it doesn't have to be within your points or anythiing but deciding what you're going to eat helps you to not eat all the other stuff you don't really want. 2. "If it's not the best - don't ingest" (she loves these sayings obviously) - but anyway it seems like good advice. I'm not going to waste my points on anything that's not delicious and worth it! 3. Stay away from appetizers - they're small but caloric. 4. Don't take seconds. Take as much as you want on your first trip and wenjoy it. Don't pretend like you're going to eat a 1/2 cup of mashhed potatoes and then go back four times. 5. Get rid of everything in your house you don't want to continue eating (i.e. that extra pumpkin pie that never got served) Anyway, Wednesday is the end of the "Health Challenge" at y work so I really want to lose another pound between now and then.. why you ask? So I can collect all the money that basically everyone else is paying in ($50/ person who didn't make their goal split among the people who did). As far as I can tell basically no one has met it so I want to do it and collect like $500! That's motivation

Yum! If I hadn't just eaten dinner one minute ago that would have had me heading back to the fridge!
