Welcome!! Give us some factors you are looking for - AI? Kids? on the beach?

Welcome!! Let us know how we can help!

I am a Cabo Dreams bride. If you decide on Dreams or have questions, feel free to ask. As for TA, I'm using Tammy (host) and she's amazing! She may be booked up but check with her.

"No" whatever diets don't work for me. I end up wanting whatever I can't have more than I do normally. I do try to eat more protein in the mornings though so I am more full through the AM.

my tips match everyone else's. Drink water when you are hungry and wait 10 minutes - if you are still hungry then eat. Frozen grapes are a great snack. I use the online recipes for the most part - I can recommend some good ones if you want. write EVERYTHING down. You will lost weight if you follow the program, but the only way to get the toned lok everyone wants is through exercise. No way around it! My typical day when I'm being good: green tea (0 pts) Weight control oatmeal (3 pts) Reduced cal bread (1 pt for 2 slices) Turkey breast (0 to 1 pt depending on how much I want) Luna bar (3 pts) Fruit/veggies - total about 2 to 5 pts depending on what and how much Dinner - around 6 to 8 pt recipe skinny cow bars for dessert

I lied - I kept saying we were going to do our legal ceremony in the States before or after Mexico but we discussed it today and decided to do the whole schebang in Cabo! Hopefully it will be kinda easy-ish?!

I am riding the bus home fromt the gym as we speak. I did 60 min of cardio and 45 lifting legs and abs. I'm zonked!

It's not rude at all to tell them no! What they did is 1,000 times more rude. My mom has friends that aren't invited but have asked about the wedding as she just tells them we want to keep it small. Simple as that.

And do you think he would mind NOT bringing up religion? My FI fam is Jewish, I'm not - no one is religious at all in the group.

Welcome!! Good luck with planning - let us know how we can help!

Looks like fun! And you look beautiful!

I haven't made these, but I made 60 Boarding Pass STDs so I understand your pain. Tips: -Get a rotary cutter. It will allow you to cut a clean straight line along the 4 major edges of the blade. -Try an edge rounding hole puncher. I got one from the stamp store. You just put the corner of the paper in it and it turns it into a rounded edge. Hope these tips help! (At least until Sarah gets here and gives you the real goods!)

FI and I would totally bust out in a fun dance in the middle or end of our first dance! I would love to put a little bit of "The way you make me feel" in the dance - just for fun. We are a goofy ass couple so anything too lovey-dovey like a long romantic first dance would be weird for us. But I would NEVER post a video somewhere. NEVER EVER EVER. My MOH's sister got married this fall and in the middle of the father/daughter dance the song switched to HandJive from Grease. It was so fun and cute. It was a total suprise to everyone, including my MOH and the mom. Her dad had been sneaking up to her house and practicing with her for weeks. It was so sweet because he is not a good dancer.

I'm getting a facial tomorrow. I'm going to start doing that every month - hopefully it will help!

Yeah - the doc asked even with Retin-A if I was planning on trying to get pregnant soon. He said Retin-A and Accutane are both Vitamin A based, and the quantity in Accutane (and the fact you are injesting it, not just rubbing it on your skin) can cause birth defects. He said most women don't even want to put the topical form (Retin-A) on because of the risk. He said his partner used Retin-A while pregnant and their baby is all good.

So I tried everything face wash out there and nothing worked. I tried the rentin a stuff for a short time but I broke out even worse. Finally I decided to go the natural route. I started taking a dialy mulit vitamin and drinking TONS of water. I also got Dove Senstivie Skin face wash and Oil of Olay senstive skin face lotion and I'm free and clear. I really thing the water is the trick. I drink TONS, and I mean TONS of it everyday. I hope it works for you though! Breakingout is no fun : See - that's the disciplined, smart person way to do it! I'm not ready to make actual life changes, I just want a magic cream!!! Someday I'll be smart and just drink more water.

It's a workout video - like normal. But this one has everything in 11 or 12 minute segments. So if you want to do arms, you just watch all the arm segments. It also has target exercises based on your dress type - halter, a-line, etc.

My skin is breaking out as well. I think it is because I am stressing out about everything. It is driving me crazy!!! What didn't you like? Did you like Accutane better?

Welcome!!!

I just ordered this DVD. The reviews on Amazon sounded great. I'll let you girls know how it is. Women's Health DVDs

I finally went to the dermatologist today to find out what I should do about my skin (zits). He gave me a prescription for Retin-A. I used it in high school and it worked well for me. It's not like I have big zits all over, it's just that my skin is never smooth. There are always little bumps all over and the occasional big ol' zit. So, we'll see how it works! Anyone else on it?

Welcome! I've never been so I'm no help - but I'm around if you need help with the details.
