wow, big group! yay!

wow K that's a LOT of water! you must slosh around when you walk haha. i don't think your bladder is small, just strained ... you are *working* that bad boy to death! LOL must be why your skin is so nice tho. i need to get a nice ginormous water bottle so i can start gulping it down at work, too! are lean cuisines expensive in canada? they can be pricey here but there are sales pretty regularly where they are only about $2 (which is waaay better than the $7-10 bucks i'd spend ordering lunch with my coworkers) so i rationalize the purchase that way. usually my lunches will be salad with a little of whatever meat we have leftover from dinner the night before. mel, i am right there with you about never ever learning. i have been up and down more times than i can count.

oh btw my salad was delish! T made homemade salad dressing that totally looked like poo, lol, but tasted fantastic! hope it wasn't loaded with cals.

oh i love the healthy pizzas. problem being that when i make them i don't just want a slice or two. damn them for being yummy AND healthy, lol! portion control is a big issue with me! yeah kathy, i'm a mess. i barely remembered to grab the salad i packed up last night before i flew out the door. i was super late today! tonight i will go home and make sure i have proper nourishment for tomorrow all packed and ready to go. manders, can you do sugar-free jello? or what about low-fat string cheese? i'm at a loss for you since pretty much everything that would be a healthy snack can irritate crohn's. my friend here at work has it and struggles with weight loss because she can't tolerate much fruit/veggies/salad ... all the things that are supposed to be good for you. what a PITA ... literally.

i am normally all about the snacking (healthy snacks of course) but i came to work unprepared today. all i've got to snack on is water, lol. YUM. it's really retarded bc i went grocery shopping and have everything i need at home. just didn't pack it.

i am actually pretty excited about the salad i brought (has turkey and feta in it--YUM!), but i don't want to eat it just yet because then there will still be too many hours between now and when i get to eat dinner, kwim?

tash, i will probably take a better/clearer before pic this weekend. i just had T snap one quickly last night so i'd be legit in the contest. he couldn't even bother himself to get up from where he was sitting to do it. the lighting and angle are awful. i'll set a timer on the camera or something i guess! also, you were super sweet telling me to quit all the "ughs" hehe so ladies, my office-mate ordered this amazing smelling garlicky white pizza and is eating it right next to me. i'm drooling and my stomach is growling like mad, haha! what a biatch.

manders, i can click on your ticker and it brings up the page where you would need to enter your PIN to make changes. so i guess you've got it right now! i need to make a new ticker but it will have to wait until i get home and take my start weight. ugh.

WOW tucks!!!!!! ahhhh i'm so excited for you i could peeeee!!! i still heart your clay flowers and your dress tons! you're going to be gorgeous and i totally wish i was coming to your wedding!

I don't want to have to create a new one everytime I need to update it i'm pretty sure if you have created an account with ticker factory all you need to do is bookmark the edit ticker page ... and then you'll just need your password to update your saved tickers, right?

haha kathy you have until midnite tonight! stop trying to weasel your way out of this!

crap i forgot about getting a pedicure today! haha! today i went all out with my final "greasy food and regular coke," to get the craving out of my system. and it worked, because now i feel totally gross and actually can't wait for salad wednesday!

aww andrea i heart the pix (really love the b&w one)! time really is flying, isn't it? congrats, amy!!!

only 44 days, danielle?!? holy moly that went fast! (well at least for the rest of us!) can't wait to see your little one!

wow jenn, crack that whip! haha the contest hasn't even started yet! brutal! seriously i love that we have someone here to push us all this season! i have to get a pedicure before we start so tash doesn't have to look at my nasty toes on the scale haha. or at least that's how i'm rationalizing getting one.

He goes you look smaller amazing! that is so great ... keep it up holls! tash, i am in! i've let myself go to the point that i'm extremely uncomfortable and something def needs to be done about it! are we starting wednesday the 13th then? get ready for a gross before pic! hahahaha all i will need to do is hang it on the fridge and i'll never eat again. p.s. manders i just read thru this thread and you had me cracking up!

yay *finally* lisa pulled off the win! i swear i nominated her every month! and this was her last shot at the B2B title, since i'm pretty sure her wedding is TOMORROW!!! congrats to both ladies! can't wait to read their interviews in the newsletter! (i'm such a dork)

lisa, i am sooooo happy your time has come! the final version of the dress is gorgeous, just like you!

interview : vampire

they will have to honor the prices quoted on your contract.

congrats maria! i'm so glad everything turned out so well for you! your reception looked like a killer party and you of course looked absolutely gorgeous! the flowers and card from your hubby on wedding day made me a little teary eyed ... so cute. definitely a keeper! it's a shame you didn't get a chance to do the private dinner ... for me, it was one of the highlights of our week. with all our family there, it was nice to do something just the two of us, and as you know, the dreams staff bends over backward to make you feel like royalty. congrats again, MRS!

ok so i see you said it's final fitting time ... when is it, and where are our pix, girlie?! hahaha we are so impatient! i can't wait to see the final look!

tom cruise : tropic thunder

selina, i'm sooooo sorry to hear you had problems with your officiant! i don't even understand how something like that can happen since they have a script to read. did you do a symbolic ceremony? that is just terrible. it makes me sad to hear that any part of a bride's day isn't just perfect. in the end you're married to the man you love tho, right? and OMG your pix are AMAZING! i will say that i don't think the officiant ever attends the rehearsal there. i wish mine had as well. we did a legal ceremony, and apparently the judge showed up with a few options for his speech which he obviously only had my soon-to-be hubby there to choose from. so what did he do? he chose the one that looked like it had the LEAST STUFF FOR US TO SAY. gee, thanks, haha. that is really something i would have liked to have been a part of the decision-making process on! i was also very nervous that the officiant wouldn't come over to us with the mic (that we paid for) and no one would hear our vows. he was standing like a mile away off to the side, reading from his script, and we had to wait for him to scurry over to us just to say "i do" into the mic. on the video you can see me with this very nervous look on my face bc he was so far away and kinda waving him to come over, hahahahaha it's ridic. i still don't understand why he couldn't just stand behind us the whole time.
