I said I can totally see some women loving this idea. I think whatever you want to do for your wedding is the right thing for you. That is why all of us are going away and getting married on or near the beach somewhere. lol

No, never. But, its not me. I totally think some woman out there will love the idea. I can't imagine what those dresses would cost though. Also, there will not be very many of them, so a lot of other brides would be wearing the same dress, I would not be okay with that.

I love number 2, its my favorite. Then I would say number 1.

Food is my comfort as well when I'm stressed. I will say that I didn't really go to overboard this week, I just really didn't track my points, I didn't eat a lot, but you know when you don't write it down its usually more calories than you thought. That is exactly what I did. I went to the gym 4 times, I ate okay, but I did not track even one day, so, that means I did not do good.

I'd love it if my daughter could wear them someday!!!! As long as you take good care of them, shoes can totally last long enough to pass down to your daughter. Good choice. I love shoes too, I just don't have the money right now to spend on them, or I would be getting the pair I really want as well.

Quote: Originally Posted by LALA No deal But my mom did get them for me as a gift. Well then, that is a great deal. lol I am so glad you picked out good ones, you went all out on those shoes. I am sure you will love them forever.

I have to weigh in tomorrow, the week started off good, but has slowly gone down hill, I am going to go shopping this weekend because I haven't gone in a few weeks and I eat so much better when I have stuff I should be eating in the house! I might be good about working out, but notice how I am not posting what I am eating. lol I am not eating all that well, I have been so stressed and I am packing and blah blah, so food has been a comfort for me. I don't lose weight when I work out alone, I need to eat well and work out, I am one of those lucky ones

I weigh in on Saturday's, so I can't celebrate yet. lol Congrats to you though, that is awesome. I hope I lose that much. lol

I am transferring offices in the next month or so to one closer to where I live, so I'm hoping that will help, but its going to be a lot of starting over (I'm in sales) and I just don't think I have the energy for it anymore. You're right it really does consume your whole life, I just feel so blah about it, I barely do anything at work, its awful, and I blame it on the fact that I'm only there for another month, but I could be doing stuff, I just don't want to anymore. I really just want a job where I can work from home. That is what everyone wants, lol to work from home. Its not an easy thing to find. So, I say work hard in your new office but keep your eyes open for another job that might have a work from home option.

I love love love Louboutin, he makes the best shoes. Can you tell us, did you get a deal on those shoes? His shoes are usually very $$$.

Its not good to hate your job. I have been there, it takes over your whole life. Can you start looking for another job? It will make you feel so happy to have a new job.

That is lucky that he is getting home. Here, all flights havbe been cancelled or delayed for hours, its bad.

I didn't know there was one either. lol Oops, I will add it now.

I went on ebay and I have some bids in right now for the turbojam set, winsor pilates set, & cindy crawford-the next challenge (I used to have this one & loved it) so I will soon have something at the very least! And until then I have the trusty treadmill, my arms are so sore from the workout I did last night! Have you done the treadmill today? If not, you better get on it. lol I am such a hard ass. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by akh eeeeewwww! sounds like MN is getting hit too! i just did cindy again - i need to mix it up a little! Are you in MN? If so, you know what I went through today. It was not fun at all. Its really bad here right now, its turning to ice pellets soon, and then it will be freezing rain, yay, something to look forward to. lol Good job doing Cindy (lol, you know what I meant)

Well Jilly, did you find something? You best get on that. lol I went to the gym today, but wish I did not when I left. We were told we were getting our worst winter storm yet, but it was beautiful when I left, so I was in running shoes and no hat, at least I remembered my mitts. At the gym I did 50 mins cardio and upper body weights. When I left there was a crazy snow storm outside and I was freezing and it took me 2 hours to get home (it usually takes me 25 mins max). I was pissed.

So anyway, I didn't do the treadmill tonight, (jules keep reading, don't start typing yet, lol!) I did do a half hour of arms and a half hour of legs, kicks, squats, etc... did a little jump rope to get my heart pumping a little. I'm just so bored with the treadmill, I really have to buy some dvd's because I love doing classes and I think I would not mind exercising so much if I had some variety. If I had more time I would start going to the gym again, but I just don't think its going to work with my schedule right now. so at least I did something! Good for you, someting is a lot better than nothing. I almost peed myself when I read what you wrote, its like you know me already, cause I was totally about to start typing. lol Go out and get yourself some tapes for sure, variety will keep you working out. If you are bored, you will not be able to convince yourself to work out, that is not a good thing.

The package we are purchasing includes the cocktail hour. I was told if its a very small group (we do not know a number yet, we are at 20), then they would add extra things in. I think they meant under 15 though. So, ask your resort what they can do. I agree that there is more you could do for a small group as you will not spend as much money. I say do it all, and have fun with it.

She was excited because they told her that she lost the most inches they had ever seen, and 24 hours later she was dead. I say, ladies it is not worth it. This girl was 24 years old and had her whole life ahead of her. Hope this message deters someone. Best wishes to you all. I am so sorry to hear about that, that is terrible. Did she know she had an enlarged heart?

I love this dress, I picked it out of a magazine when I first got engaged, but never tried it on. This one can't be $99 can it. If so, and you like it on. BUY IT NOW!!

I love them Kelly, I think its a great idea. I would totally use those.

I think they look awesome. Congrats on the awesome deal for those, they look great.
