*JillD*

I tried one, but I have small boobs, so it didn't really work well for me, maybe I did it wrong, but I didn't end up using it. Kash used one for her wedding and really liked it.

ooooh!!! I love it Erica! Its so pretty! I had picked on out with diamonds on 3 sides and ended up not getting it, but I wish I had, yours is so pretty!

He just used songs from our wedding in our video, the song I had to walk down the aisle, the song coming out of the wedding and then he used a random song. I didn't really care because it was included in our package, but I would have had him use our wedding song instead of the random one had I known. I think that was it, but now that doesn't seem right that it would only be 3 songs for a 30 minute video. hmm

I love guac too, I know avocados are good fat, but I could seriously eat an entire avocado in one sitting, which probably isn't great for my diet, lol! That's why I thought the 100 calorie things would help keep the diet on track. I have a friend that makes really good guac, if I remember correctly its: avocados, fresh lime juice, finely diced tomotoes, cilantro, salt & pepper (there might be onions too I can't remember) at the cancun airport on our way home from the wedding there was a Margaritaville at the airport and a guy with a cart going around making guac and it was delicious!! My hubby doesn't like it because he thinks it has no taste, he's crazy!

Welcome to the forum! The WC at dreams are really busy at this time of year and get 100's of emails everyday, they really do a great job, but can be slow to respond. Good Luck!

I didn't try them, but thought they might be good for a little snack sometime maybe with some baked nacho chips or something, you could make low fat nachos. I did so bad this weekend. I'm not even going to go into details, but it was mostly the items I ate not really a large quanitity, so maybe by some miracle I'll be okay on wednesday.

Amy, you look beautiful! That dress looks like it was made for you!

Right now I'm following weight watchers, but I think I'm going to give this one a try next week. I leave for vaca in a few weeks and I'd like to lose more weight before I leave!

I lost 2 pounds, yippee! If only I hadn't gained the last two weeks, but at least I'm almost back to where I started, lol! I'm having a hard time sticking to it this season as well and I have a really tough weekend coming up, I'm so afraid of what I might eat!

Good Job Danielle!! That's great willpower, I'm sure I would have pigged out! I've done pretty good this week, except for saturday, I drank a few beers friday night when I got home and I was STARVING on saturday, so I went a little overboard, but got myself back on track yesterday and even managed to workout yesterday and today. I hope the scale goes in the right direction this week!

Welcome back Jackie!! WOW your review is SO detailed, good job!

aww, tammy, stewie is really cute!

As I told my sister, there are a lot of fairer skinned dark headed girls in Hollywood- Katie Holmes, Liv Tyler, Jennifer Love Hewitt, just to name a few. I know, I kind of like the contrast of the paler skin with the dark hair. I think I'll talk to my stylist when I go to see what she thinks, I definetly need a new cut, but I'm a little nervous about the color, yikes!

I gained for the second week in a row! I gained 2.5, I think. I've just been so busy the last few weeks, I've been trying to still eat well, which I think I've been pretty good about, but I haven't had time to exercise at all and over the weekend I just ate and drank like never before! But its a new week and I have NO parties this weekend, thank god!

Rach, I love your new cut & color! So pretty! I've been playing on that website all night and I'm stuck between cameron diaz and jennifer lopez hair. And I tried on a really dark brown color and LOVE it!! I've always wanted to dye my hair darker, but I've only done slightly darker, I haven't gone all the way. I'm also nervous because I used a pic of me from mexico and I was tan in the pic, so I'm afraid I wouldn't like the color as much on my paler skin! I'm calling tomorrow for an appointment for a cut though, I need one!

Good Luck with your planning! The WC are usually pretty swamped but they take very good care of their brides, you won't be disappointed! Let me know if I can help with anything!

I don't even know where to begin, but this weekend was horrible!! I had parties to go to all weekend and I was so exhausted from the busy week I've had that I just didn't care what I ate! I'm so mad at myself.

My daughters birthday is also December 30th and it sucks! Especially because every kid in our families has their birthdays at the end of december and the beginning of january. I usually wait for the weekend following her birthday to have a party because its easier, New Years is over, etc...

congratulations everyone! I think I gained a little .4, but I know I had a bad week so I'm not surprised and I'm okay with it, next week will be better.

In fact I was supposed to do this scavenger hunt at Disneyland tonight called Minnie's Moonlight Madness, but I decided going to the gym would benefit me more.

Everytime you think about eating something you know you shouldn't have, think of your friend who lost 20lbs and think of how great he looks and feels and maybe that will be a great motivator for you. We can do this, I keep trying to tell myself but its like the never ending cycle but I am determined to break this cycle this year. Stay positive. I have an idea girls, I think we should all find a picture of ourselves when we felt we looked good or at least better, ha! And we should carry that picture with us at all times. I was out with my friends the other night and it seems like all of us are trying to lose weight, but we were talking about it and one of my friends said she found a picture of me and saved it for me (because she knows I'm trying to lose weight) and it was back a few years ago when I was working out like a mad woman and I felt SO MUCH BETTER!! She said she was going to give me the picture for motivation, but of course we got drunk and I forgot. So, I'm going to dig through my pics and find one from that time period and keep it in my purse, I think you girls should too. I think I might put one on my fridge too!

My stupid book still has not come I'll join in this discussion late once I read it!

He works out with a trainer and has built muscle where flab use to lie. Anyhow, he asked me to go with him to South Coast Plaza and find an outfit for his birthday party in West Hollywood. I took him to Banana Republic, my favorite store. Anyhow, I picked out all sorts of shirts, jeans, vests, etc for him. He was amazing to see the transformation. He looked HOT! I was so shocked. He was so happy, he glowed. It got me thinking, I am a pretty girl, but I am fat. I need to lose weight in order to fit back into my favorite Banana Republic jeans, shirts, dresses, etc. I have so many clothes in my closet that are just sitting there waiting for my old thinner self to emerge. Food may taste good, but it is not worth the pain of seeing bumps, lumps and bludge hanging out. I have a confession, I am a little depressed cause I didn't get a job I wanted. Anyhow, I have been self medicating with margaritas and bad food. Since my FI is out of town, it is easy to eat horribly without anyone telling me it's bad. Yesterday I ate a bacon western cheeseburger, with chili fries and a chocolate shake. WTF is wrong with me? Yari, I know exactly how you feel. I have a whole closet full of clothes (some that still have tags) and I told DH that at the end of this year I would go through the closet and whatever still doesn't fit I will get rid of. So I really need to get moving so I can fit into those clothes! I have so much cute stuff and I want to wear it! I've been bad this week too and a bad buddy since I didn't check on you the past few days! I've eaten horrible for days and today was the first day I exercised since last thursday. So lets all change our attitudes and keep ourselves in check, Yari next time you want to eat something bad, send me a text first and I'll talk you out of it!

I think the people that didn't pay for a RD just went to one of the restaurants, right when they opened and asked for a table for XX people. That's how they got around it. I guess it depends how many people you have. If its a really large group you're taking the chance that they may not be able to accomodate you at one of the restaurants, if you don't schedule it.

I have been so BAD this weekend!! I had a girls night out on friday, DH was gone all weekend, so hailey and I watched a movie and ate ice cream for dinner last night and today I had a bridal shower to go to and then DH ordered pizza!! AHHHHHH!!! I am not going near the scale until wednesday and I'm going to have to work my butt off this week!!! I'm so mad at myself!

I have a girls night tonight too and haven't decided what I want to drink, but I almost always try to choose drinks that are lo cal, you could do: captain & diet coke vodka & soda water w/lemon or lime vodka & soda water w/splash of oj or cran vodka & crystal light (this is really only an option at home) can you tell I like vodka?? vodka & diet sprite is good too, but I know around here not many places have diet sprite. I try to avoid juices (which is easy since I hate juice) I don't even know where we're going to eat tonight, and I have done so bad eating all day, I'm not even hungry and I just ate two granola bars just to eat them! I think I just want sugar. I wish I had more time so I could work out before I leave, but I have to get ready to get in the shower. Good luck this weekend girls!
