I should be able to post it soon...I have been working like a crazy person. BUT I GOT YOU...lol

Girl...God is with you all. I really hope Air Jamaica doesn't do that to us... Did they charge you extra

I just looked...I'm not reading all posts...there are 86 pages...wow you ladies are busy.

I want to join, but I don't really know the background behind joining...should I just read previous posts before me

I didn't do anything..not even a sit up or a crunch

Yeah I tried the pilates, and it didn't do too much. I need the ones that are going to kick my arse...I am a very physical person.

Those are good ideas...so sort of upbeat, happy Love songs...nothing dramatic Save the drama for my entrance loll

Yeah, I think I am going to do the same thing.

The ecouragement we get from each other is great and if I slack and she doesn't then it is kinda embaressing! It helps keep me going. Do you have anyone who is in the same boat as you? I mean there are lots of us on here that are but anyone at home that you see face to face? If not you could report to me if you want..lol I'll be your drill sargent!! Get off you lazy @ss and do some sit ups....run...run..run...lol j/k We are all here to offer support and encouragement! That's the kind of motivation I need...that's what I am use to...I have to somehow get it in my mind and it's not working

Im truly a sweet person (he he he) but in my head I was saying "Watch me Biotch" lol So thats part of my motivation. Also I decided that I would do BD photos and that is my MAJOR Motivator! Girl I bought some sexy lingerie and I have to look at least decent in them. So Im the bad one on here, I am on Alli and the MyAlli Plan. I did the full meal plan and can only take in 1200 calories, I lost 5 lbs within the last 3-4 weeks and my tummy feels lighter. People have noticed. I think I am starting to notice but its not good enough. I work out at least 5-6 hours a week/2 days resistance or strength training and 3 days Zumba. Im going to start running next week. YOU CAN DO IT!!! You seem athletic... I dont know about you but I get a high after working out! Do you? Dont you miss it? Get your butt back out there working out so you can work whatever dress you are wearing and that sexy bathing suit. I like your dress! Are you going to sell it? Actually no I am not gonna sell it because I got it onsale for like $200 and I can wear it again anywhere. I love the dress...it just didn't say "WOW, you are the bride...look at you." I wanted to try some sort of quick fix...meaning pills. I ultimately want a lifestyle change, but right this second I want I want a quick fix...lol. I unfortunately don't have anyone that really pushes me because my fiance loves how I look (except for my pudgy stomach...not sexy.) I think that if I report in everyday with you guys, that may help me. My work schedule and personal schedul is so hectic that I don't have time to do anything but that is alwo why I bout the 8 min workout DVDs. If you guys could just push me...if you are not busy, that would be great...we could push each other. I am gonna start posting pics and updating them everyweek with maybe pounds and measurements. I would love if someone would do the same...and we can all start tracking our progress. Anyone up for it?? I wanted to wait til it got hot outside to go running, but the weather tricked me and now it's cold again. I have a gym membership, but once I get off of work at 8 am, I don't feel like it since all I have time to do is sleep since I have to be back at work at 5:30 pm... (I work night/split days shifts...were I am off 2 or 3 days a week.) And running...I run so hard that I don't feel charged when I'm done...I feel sleepy...lol. What is BD photos

M·A·C Cosmetics | Charged Water/Revitalizing Energy I think this is the stuff that this MAC artist used on my face and it took the shine off. She misted it on before applying the makeup.

Makeup is as simple as you want it ladies. And like anything, Practice Makes Perfect. I am a tomboy of all tomboys, but I love artsy stuff...and I started looking at applying makup as an art... The key is blending...you want everything to blend smoothly. I do this with my finger... If you have any questions I can try and answer them... I posted up some pics of makeup that I have done on myself, but if you want me to do a step by step, I can post that also...?

We are going to bring our Bose iPod Soundock that way we can get the music we want to play at the times we want them to play. We have a fairly young crowd of about 25 people, and most of them listen to the same music as us...but it's music that is not highly played on the radio. We also wanted to include some reggae hits that we have loved for years and mix it up. We also opted for the soundock, because since we are ona budget that helps and for our reception after the dinner, we were either going to park it somewhere on the beach, at the pool, at a beach bar, or maybe in the room and let it play out...or take it with us to the beach party and BRING THE PARTY... But for any of you who have seen Spkie Lee's movie "Do The Right Thing" all that pops into my head is Radio Raheem and how he carried his boom box with him wherever he went....That's what we are thinking. Besides when you have your welcome gathering, you can have music in the background while folks drink, eat and mingle. We are also utilizing it for the "bachelorette" festivities...

This may be a stupid question, but they do have 3 prong outlets correct And whoever ahs that iPod BOSE docking station, are you pleased with it and does it take batteries? We went to Bose (since that is the system I have in my SUV and I love them) and listened to it and it sounded very good, but I am just worried that it sounded good in an enclosed space...how will it sound outside? We haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it?

I never thought about backing everything up on CD just in case. Did you bring a cd player as well? Also, I wonder how many cd's you used...If I compose all of these songs on discs, I am sure it will be at least 20 cds.

Blige- Give Me You. I'd say that the bridal party song should maybe be slightly upbeat from yours...your song should definitely be a little more dramatic...but this is coming from the drama princess herself...lol... gotta have a song that says "Hey look at me...look at me!! " lol Do you have any suggestions of bridal party songs so I can get a visual Also, do we walk back down the aisle as husband and wife to the same song I walk in to Are you all having your FH walk down the aisle to any songs, or is he just going to be there waiting and walk in whenever with his guys...?

Have fun Yolanda and take lots of pictures...don't forget the names of everyone who did right by you so that we can refer to those folks when we get there...

Also exchanged my TTD dress tonight, here is the new one: And went for a makeover at MAC counter, 1 of my BMs is going to try to replicate the look tomorrow: I have been looking for a frame like the one you are going to pour the sand in, where did you buy that? And BTW, I love the new TTD. I think it was a better idea to go with the white one. I need something simple like that if I decide to do it...I haven't decided yet. When are you actually trashing the dress What are you gonna do with hair and makeup when you are done

Yes, I actually love strength training more than anything. I love to "feel the burn." But I know that all my body needs is some good cardio. I go in these spurts where I am so motivated...and then I lose sight of the goal...

Quote: Originally Posted by twelve_piece MAC makeover: indoor lighting outdoor lighting Its not exactly what I'm going for, but I figured out what products I needed and one of my BMs was with me, taking notes so she can replicate it in Jamaica, and she surprised me by buying all the products that the MAC girl used! Court, I think it looks so natural and effortless. What products did you use? Are you wearing lashes? If not, I think that would really set it off...if you are, you should get longer ones.

It doesn't leave it feeling dry or oily. It's like if you misted some water on to your face, it makes it feel clean. Give me a sec and I will post a pic of it when I get home... It comes in a clear container and its a green liquid.
