I know there's a ton of this discussion in the main LC thread - but basically, yes, it's common for some people to get sick on the boat. My MIL did, but was fine afterwards. Most people are fine if they take something, like dramamine.

well, there is one journal that has been destroyed (the one I started, grrrrr) so those entries won't be entered. i gave it to nicole afterwards, then not sure where it went. so some entries will be missing.

I think this was disabled for most everyone after we had some issues a while back.

***happy Happy Birthday To You, Jessica!***

Happy Birthday!!

Sergio is a member of this forum, and the only one I can think of that has used him is Matt Adcock and Sol Tamargo (2 other DW photographers).

to be honest, that sounds like an awesome price for her work!

we really tried to make it work, but people wouldn't return our messages, they'd never send the starfish and/or journal, and we couldn't get a hold of some people. it certainly wasn't for lack of trying!

While I am still missing a few weights, I've gone ahead and awarded Jill the first BDW Biggest Loser *Winner of the Week* Carrot!

Oh - so I am about 22 weeks, and 5 months pregnant, and I could probably still fit in my dress. The tough part might be the boobs ... but those could be altered! (well, the dress, not the actual boobs!) And I know everyone is different, but it's something to consider if you're in love with your dress!

well hot damn ... it was meant to be then! i'm so excited for you!

How did you know you were preggo if you only get a few periods? Just curious. Oh, and your $$ was already sent back to you ... start a college fund! lol

OMG I am soooo excited for you. I read the title, and was like "what the heck - am I that bad of a host!?" What a great reason NOT to diet! I am sending you all of the positive pregnancy thoughts I can right now. Oh, and I'm also refunding your $10 ... consider it your first baby gift and get something fun!

the ones i get are just the walgreens ones.

Why not pare down to about half as many cards, and you'll still have plenty of long-standing relationship ones for your credit score. I know I might be going against the grain, but I just don't think it will make or break your credit worthiness in the future. That's what I was going to say, the big factor is your actual credit history of paying off any debt. I think the open cards may impact slightly, but not enough to worry about it too much. Again - not a professional here! lol

I do really like it - but I wouldn't worry too much about finding a dress to be able to wear again. People always say that - but I have yet to see/have a BM dress that I'd ever wear again, and I"ve been in/to many weddings! lol But getting a non-tradtional dress definitely helps that if it's really a concern of yours.

We'll see though... mine were too - and i was so irregular. i'd have 2 in one month, then none for a few months. and sometimes they were awful - bad cramps, and everything. but for the few months that i was off the pill (before getting knocked up!) they weren't bad at all - i was pleasantly surprised. i don't know if they would have got worse though.

prenatal vitamins are really just a multi-vitamin with some folic acid, at least as i understand them. i think i was taking them before the wedding - or at least soon afterwards! it can't hurt - so if you're not taking one already (a multi-vitamin) go for it!

Leigh - I miss you! 20 lbs is amazing, especially with all of the travel you do. It's so hard to eat right on the road - I know!

I had no side effects or anything either - I was on the pill for like 13+ years before going off this past June. I started having a regluar cycle right away, and felt the same. My periods were heavier (I didn't really have much of anything on the pill), but fairly light to moderate. I also got pregnant the first time we tried in Oct (we were preventing it before that). Every woman is so different though, but that's my experience!

I still need about 6 more - but I will post the final results when those are in. I have to be honest though, I think Jill might be safe with teh title this week! Would it help everyone if I sent a reminder Tue night? I can do that.

For all of you that did send in your weights, I wanted to post the results. I can post an update once I get the other 8 in, but here it is so far, in case you're curious. This week there is only 1 number, but the next weeks I will post both the weekly loss (or gain ) and the total. This week it's the same thing, obviously. jilly76-4.17% Nrvsbride (Glenda)-3.72% cessyboston (Erica)-2.67% froggie1013 (Kristy)-1.80% LMP333 (Leslie)-1.78% Saraha-1.74% gkashmira (Kash)-1.17% shellyf (Shelley) -1.09% JamaicaBride062108 (Erin)-0.93% nueland (Nicole)-0.85% alyssa -0.83% beachbride08 (Michelle)-0.44% chprfan (Jessica)0.00% Yari0.00%
