Christine you're so lucky to have someone from work doing it with you, that really helps! A couple years ago I did ww with a friend at work that wanted to lose weight for her wedding & I just wanted to lose weight period, lol! And it worked out really good, we both lost a good amount, and it really helped having someone to talk to everyday about it and share tips and stuff!

I felt good when I tried dresses on too, I don't know why because I really didn't want to go! but like melissa said the corsets sucked me in! Oh & I agree with christine, I want to feel good in all of my clothes, I'm going to need to buy some new stuff for mexico and dresses for other stuff, and I want to look good in all of it!

Melissa I think the meetings can be really helpful for some people, they keep you accountable. I'm so awful about it if I knew I had a bad week I would skip the meetings and that's just defeating the whole purpose! Good luck whatever you decide, but we're all here to help too!

My FI told me is I showed up with a big floppy bow on the butt of my dress, it would be a deal breaker, lol!! something about back in high school his date for the prom with a big floppy bow and it being the talk of the whole event!

Anny, I think those are perfect, & that bouquet is absolutely gorgeous!!

I don't think we have any st. lucia brides on here yet, you could be the first

I LOVE using powerpoint and thats actually what I used to do my first monogram, but I have trouble moving it, so I think I need to read the instructions. I sent in a request of Aylee today for one, but I think I'm going to try making some on my own as well. I also noticed on her site she has the instructions to make favor tags, I want to do those too, with our monogram, to hang on the fans. I'll post when I'm done.

It sounds like you girls had a great time, I would really love to do this, but I just worry about not looking good in the pics. Maybe what I'll do is have the photographer do a couple pics while I'm getting ready the day of the wedding, just a couple shots. I'm glad you guys had fun, I hope there are some that can be posted!

Oh I would most definetly pig out tonight, lol!!!

We have an excel file around here as well, you're not a geek! keeping track in the computer is a good idea too, a lot of times I'm too lazy to right stuff down so I just keep it in my head, but sometimes I forget (oops) about certain things! Yes, you should join us!! I definetly do better on the weeks I go shopping. You should start tomorrow and weigh in next friday. or whenever you're ready to start, I know I like fridays because its before I blow it on the weekend!

Hi Melissa, I don't attend the meetings, I used to, for some people I think they help, but I'm trying to save as much money as possible for the wedding right now, so the girls on here are my support group! We help each other and we report each week on our loss or gain (most of us do it on friday before the weekend) If you don't have the book and points calculator I would suggest attending one meeting just to get the stuff and if you like it you can always keep going, but if not at least you have the information.

Sarah, that is AWESOME!!! We're so proud of you, you are the exercise queen! I wish we had a bootcamp around here. I just got off the treadmill about an hour ago and I still feel like my legs are going to fall off, so you must be dying, two bootcamps in one day, CRAZY!

Welcome! Pretty soon you will become a BDW addict like the rest of us! let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the advice Jessica! Maybe a CD would be better, I'll have to investigate this some more. Are you getting a dj?

Yes, they have been very nice & very resonsive, I think we'll be very happy!

Great Sarah, I can't wait to hear how it works for you guys!

I am also doing weight watchers (we have a thread to help each other) I've lost 9 lbs. so far, I want to lose as much as I can before I order my dress, but I want to continue to lose right up until the day I leave for mexico!! I also looked for dresses with corset backs, so that it will eliminate the need to have alterations more than once. I'm going to wait as long as I can to order it and I am also going to wait until the last possible minute to get it altered. I do 30 minutes of jogging/walking on the treadmill, I aim for everyday, but usually it ends up being 3-4 times a week, which I need to work on! But I really need to get myself back into the habit of doing weights too, at least a couple times a week.

I am trying to pull myself away from the computer to go work out! Its sooo hard!

Thanks for that info Natalie, that's what I was thinking of too, but with the Bose system, so thats good to know about the microphone. Although we are only having a small group, so we may be okay without a microphone, I'll have to investigate further.

Thats great!! I wish I could make it 5 days in a row!! I'm gonna try!

Thats great Jules! (about the weight loss, not the sickness!)

I contacted claudia rodriguez for photography and they also offer videography services Claudia Rodriguez, Photographer, Cancun & Riviera Maya

I guess it will depend what I get for flowers, he'll have the same

I know its so much fun to see all the different places people get married, it really makes me want to travel to all of these places too!! I'm sure they do beautiful weddings, all of the dinners they did for us were top notch, a couple of the dinners we had on one of the outside terraces near the pool and it was so pretty all lit up at night, colored lights everywhere, very tropical.

Yes, High Gear This week!!!! We'll have good losses next week!
