Those were funny!

I LOVE the pink dress! The details really pop on the top. I say go for it!

Just PM me and I can send you my email address. I won't save them down, I will merely move them all to a folder in my inbox. I don't mind if you are clothing-covered in the pictures as long as you aren't wearing super baggy clothing and I can tell that you are the same person in the before and after (and hopefully you all will have acheived super fantastic results!). Is everyone ok with that? I am open to suggestions, so if anyone else has any thoughts feel free to speak up! Ok, this works for me. Face and all. lol

These photos are so great! Congratulations.

Ok, so for the before pic we send in full body and I do have tattoos so I'm leaving my head off. lol Ah, and my dh said those damn tattoos would never come in handy. Although the cellulite on my thighs might also be an indication the pic is me. Hopefully by the end that might go away~ it would be a miracle!

Question~ in regards to the photos we are sending to Ginalyn, do they have to have our faces on them? This might sound strange, but I'm not sure how I feel about sending someone I don't know a picture of myself, unless I'm totally covered by clothing, which would prob. defeat the purpose of the photo. I've posted photos on the forum before showing my weight loss, but they had my head cut off. lol And I deleted them shortly after. Just wondering what you guys are thinking for your photos?

I really have no time to even get anything done there. School has started again and between that and I work I have no time for anything. Not even BDW. Thanks for asking! Ok, really, I'm getting off the computer and doing some homework. lol

They would be things like goal for the day: drink only water today, or do 100 crunches and 100 push-ups or do 45 minutes of cardio today. They weren't anything official in the contest, just a great way for us to keep each other motivated. I've participated in the past few seasons and I have to agree with Jackie, it was frustrating when 30 people would sign up for the contest and only the same 6 people would post to the thread each week. The best part of the contest is learning what others are doing to be successful and/ or hearing from people who know what you're going thru when you're having a bad day/ week. I don't know if that will happen this time since there isn't any money involved so those signing up are really here for weight loss and motivation. p.s.~ I think the dates for this contest are great! It will stop some of my crap eating at all those holiday parties at the beginning of Dec.

Ugh, me too! I gotta go search for that BL thread. I confess that I have a 6 page paper and a 2 page paper both due tomorrow after noon and I haven't started either yet. It's 8:30pm and here I am on BDW. I'll be up all night.

Girls, have you seen the new diet mountain dew commercial. The second I saw it I thought of this thread. The last shot of the ferret cracks me up! YouTube - Diet Mountain Dew Ferret Commercial

I think you should have your BM talk to your MOH directly since its the moh's responsibility to throw the bach party. Then maybe they can get on the same page and do something jointly or atleast your moh can give the ok for the sorority only party. I know if I was the moh I would welcome help and ideas from the other members of the wedding party. If you only have a handful of friends outside the sorority it might seem silly to have two parties. jmo

It would be great to try to motivate each other. I'm going to look into the cost of an elliptical machine for our basement. I'm sure I'll have another excuse not to work out though. School starts Monday and that'll take up all my time... lol Quote: Originally Posted by Sloan And another thing -- why does there need to be so many bloody mirrors?

Its so gross and so not going anywhere.

I'm so excited to not have to email, fax or call our mortgage broker EVER again! Now, on to cleaning and painting...

Hey girls, just wanted to update you after my latest vents~ we got our house! Yay! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...249#post950481

Hey everyone, I'm sure you remember my numerous posts about what a hard time we had with our mortgage. Well, we finally closed on our house today! Thank you all for your support in my other threads. Its great to have a place to come to vent and see that others have had similar situations and know that we weren't alone. I really appreciate everyone's supportive posts. Our new house

I wanted to add that if you have chosen the resort you love then that's where you should hold your wedding. It may be a little more expensive and that may mean that some guests may not be able to afford it and have to stay home. Dh and I chose our resort and knew that it may mean some people couldn't come. We loved our wedding location, had a great day with great people and wouldn't have changed a thing. I agree with Amanda, no matter what location you choose you will NEVER make everyone invited to your dw happy. So, make sure you and FI are happy.

Not one of my guests even considered looking into another resort. Part of the fun is being on vacation together, not just on the wedding day. Hopefully your guests feel the same way and will stay where you are. I wouldn't really give them an option. Just say this is where the wedding is, this is where we're staying, here is the TA info to book your trip. If someone decides to choose another resort explain that they will have to pay a day pass fee to get to your wedding site. If I were invited to someone's dw I would expect to stay where ever they were staying.

This is the best story ever. I got goosebumps. I'm so excited for you JM! I can't wait to hear about your 6 days with her. I love a good love story.

Thanks everyone. The party was lots of fun! And the girl who worked for me made a lot of money. So it worked out.

I have to say that I'm actually embarrassed for these women. I would hate to have that behavior replayed on tv for years to come. They act like high school teenagers. I thought that Nene jumped from liking Kandi to calling her ghetto pretty quickly too, but I agree that its a little scripted. Those things where they are just talking to no one is generally really them talking to a producer who has asked them a question. So, its definitely pointed in a certain direction.

Carly- I know exactly what you mean! I have decided that I'll definitely be able to work out at home once we move into our new house because I'll have more room. So, that's been my excuse for the last two months. Before that it was I'll do it when the semester ended... after vacation... etc etc. I always have a plan, but then move the deadline. For our wedding I was at my lowest weight, but since then I have gained and lost gained and lost. The BL competitions on here somewhat kept me on track, but since the last one ended I've gained again. In total, I'm probably up 10-12 lbs since our wedding. Blah.

Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride Oh no Kelly!!! I know it doesn't really seem like it, but you will be in your house eventually! You've hung in this long...just a little be longer hun! I'm not 100% sure what is delaying it. The attorney is telling me that the lender couldn't get them the documents in time and the mortgage broker is telling me everything was all set, but my attorney decided they couldn't do it today. So, right now its scheduled for Monday. Idk if I mentioned this before, but our original closing date was August 10th, when our loan wasn't approved and we couldn't close on that date we went into a penalty phase to keep our contract. So, since August 10th we are paying $100 PER DAY to keep the house so they won't sell it to someone else. So everyday that it gets delayed is costing us alot of money! Otherwise I wouldn't care so much. So, here's hoping it happens Monday. Thanks for your support girls.

We always had indoor/ outdoor cats when I was little. Now I have two indoor only cats and they are perfectly happy inside. I don't think I would ever have an indoor/ outdoor cat again. They tend to come back with mysterious injuries which sometimes equal large vet bills, plus they are more likely to have ticks or fleas on them (even using frontline). The worst part about having cats that go outdoors for me was that 2 of our cats just never came back (after many years of going outside). Its terrible wondering what happened to them. So, for those reasons I vote indoor only.

I facking knew it. So, I confess that if I owned a weapon I would introduce it to my mortgage guy today! Ugh, so annoying. I don't know how people can just straight up lie about things. It makes me so mad.
