Oh, and we paid by credit card two days before our wedding, but after our arrival in Mexico. I didn't feel comfortable paying for the whole thing before we were actually there and met with Perla.

Hey Brooke, we used an ipod and actually our own bose docking station for the speakers and it worked out great. My brother made our playlists, but we did one for during dinner and then a separate dance playlist for after dinner and then had a third list as a back up that was a mix of faster and slower music. It worked out great. We also did the buffet and our best man and moh did their toasts when it seemed like everyone had settled in to dinner. So, everyone was probably almost finished. I felt like it was a good time for them and then we did our first dance right after that and then cut the cake. And I totally second Becks~ the tres leches cake was FANTASTIC!

I have to dress up at work and am going as a school girl. Totally cliche I know, but at least all my parts will be mostly covered for work. lol I love this thread. So many good ideas!

Sh!t, I forgot to weigh in! I'm sorry!!!! I'm at our new house now and we don't have a scale here, so I'm out of luck. I just thought about it right now. Grrr.

That meal plan looks totally do-able! On a side note, I sucked at the water challenge and drank lots of soda yesterday. I'll try again today...

I'm so in for water tomorrow. I drank way too much soda today and have to try to make up for it.

Congratulations Michele! That's awesome!

My husband's good friend was diagnosed with swine flu yesterday! I didn't believe him at first. lol But I guess its true. Thanks girls, its a false win because I gained last week and just lost that weight again, but I'll take it! lol Keep it up ladies. And I'm totally up for a water challenge.

I thought that'd be the one they picked. She was really lean, but her hip area was WAY lean. I give you a lot of credit for being able to stick to it. So funny you mention the tan, I was looking just at the thumbnails of the pictures and you definitely can't tell those girls are white! lol I'm glad you've joined the thread. Its extra motivating seeing what being dedicated can get you. Your arms look fantastic in those pictures. I want those shoulders. Ok girls, I've been a slacker for two weeks. I was sick all last week and this week we've been moving into our new house. I've gotta get back on track So, starting with dinner tonight I'm back to healthier eating.

I am the only black girl in a red sparkling 2-piece suit and a green 1-piece suit; start from img_7648: sportsNaction - E-mail Address Required I wasn't as lean as I wanted to be and my abs never really came out (stupid cheat cookies are blocking them!). However, not too bad for a debut. I was 122 lbs in that pic, down from 135 lbs 3 months prior. My goal for the next comp is to be in the one-teens and have a six pack to boot. It all comes down to diet, so I have 8 months to get it together! The leave-a-bit-on-the-plate challenge will be tough, but I will keep it in mind whenever I am eating out and not preparing my own food. SSNM~ you look great. I'm curious, which girl beat you? Just wondering what the judges liked better. In a figure competition, do you have to do one of those dance-like routines or is that a fitness competition? I've watched a few on tv and can't remember. I used to date a trainer who got a few clients ready for shows. It was an awesome thing to go watch in person. I'd love to have that dedication...

Melissa~ I can't believe your wedding is coming up so quickly! How exciting. I've never done the shred but it sounds like a great workout and I love that its only 20 mins. Keep it up until you leave! I for one would love to have SSNM join and start weighing in with us. The more the merrier! And I'm super excited that you were dedicated enough to do a show. That's just awesome! Looking forward to gaining some tips from you... and maybe persuading you to send/ post some inspirational pics of your show ready body. lol

Stacey~ Happy Anniversary!

I don't want anyone to drop out! I want to try to beat all of you! lol I say let's all just get back on track for this week and let it go. I need you all for motivation. On my own I'll never get anything done. So, I was sick the past week and did nothing but lay around and eat chocolate. I'm getting remotivated and trying to get back on track starting tomorrow. So, I'm sticking to the stairs challenge for the week and I added for myself that I would park in the first open parking space available every time I have to park in a parking lot. That way I'll have to walk farther to the door! Ginalyn, thanks for taking the time to calculate everything each week.

Cassie, great idea for a challenge! So, I gained this week, which I expected since I did absolutely nothing to lose any weight. Oh well, there's always next week! I'm still getting over being sick so hopefully I'll feel better in a day or so and can get out and exercise.

Ugh, so I've been sick since last Thursday. I haven't exercised at all. I haven't done much besides lay around for days. This isn't going to be a good week. How are the rest of you doing?

Hey girls, I just wanted to let you know that Jac has had some computer problems. I can't imagine her being the type of person who would just screw you guys over. Give her a couple days to get back to you. I'm sure there's a good reason for what has happened. Maybe a problem with the shipper or something...

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear that about your dad. Congrats ladies on your losses this week!

Aw Lisa, we'll miss you! I hope everything works out that's going on in life and I hope your dad is doing well. Love the new username! Feel free to jump in any time even if you're not officially in the contest.

A few days ago I was down like 2 more lbs, but then I gained it back. For me this week, it was definitely drinking. I went out Sun and had like 5 beers and then had two glasses of wine yesterday night with dinner. I was trying so hard to just drink water... oh well. Back at it again today!

So, I totally forgot to do any squats yesterday. How'd you girls do? Tonight, I have dinner plans. Hoping it doesn't screw up my weigh in tomorrow. Going to try to be good.

How sad. I hope they catch whoever did it.

I like it too! I'm in for Monday!

lmao too funny

These are so great!
