It lasts for about 3 or 4 days. Mine wasn't a do it yourself, I went to a place that did it for me. I didn't lose too much, total 6 inches off my whole body but it was like 1/4 inch here, 1/4 inch there. NONE off my thighs which need the most help... arg. Kind of a waste of money for me, things do look tighter and I did get an inch of my waist which is cool but honestly I don't think I look better. Other people have gotten fab results from it though! Thanks for the lip scrub I'm going to totally do it this Saturday before my BD shoot.

I bought some from Whole Foods! I actually got the moisturizer as I figured I'd get better use out of it and it was only $16.99. My legs look better already, thanks so much for the recommendation!

Lindz - LOL! I can't believe we both did this... I've been wearing loose pants, thongs and doing the cream thing. It's pretty bad and scabbed over now, sorry if it's TMI!

It's hard not to panic... they look terrible!! I was hoping for no airbrushing as idiodic as that sounds. Hey Katie, when's your BD shoot?

Joanna, how exciting! I can't wait to see your pix! I'm sure you're FI might not even notice that you are wearing darker makeup than usual one he sees them

Anything to get this gone, it's sooooo ugly!

Ok ladies I have a dilemna... My BD shoot is this Sunday and last night I got a bodywrap for the first time. I love to exercise so I stayed on the Gazelle truckin' it the whole 50 minutes I was mummified. It was uncomfortable on my legs because the wrap was really tight and I actually rubbed off skin on the back of my thighs righ below my butt. It's really painful and red and a little puffy and I need it GONE by Sunday? Does anyone have any secrets to healing dumb wounds?!

AmyB - Thank you!! I'm just going to get a Costco membership as they have a Costco in Cancun to take advantage of. You can go to Target or the Dollarstore for mini stuff OR here's a site that has pretty much anything you could ever think of in a mini size: Minimus.biz - for all your travel size needs

Woo hoo! Good job, 3rd time's the charm right? That should be perfect timing and motivation for you

People just always think that they can find a better price! I told everyone about direct round trip flights when they were $238!! You think people bought tickets? I think maybe four of them did... Anyways, thank you!! I'm trying to stay positive, I know it will all work out fine

Lolo, I think your bouquet's look great!! Very pretty Also I think the cups are wonderful, personalized and obviously took time and a lot of thought. Your guests will love them! I've been engaged for nearly 2 years so I've had WAY too much time... ugh, spent too much too. This whole process has lost it's excitement but thank you, I am organized because I'm paranoid, LOL.

INSANITY - Fitness, Nutrition, Diet, Weight Loss Official Web site It's a high impact intense cardio program, no weights. It's difficult but effective, really core based, lots of jumping and pushups. It definitely works!

Lady Di - I'm in the spot with people booking, I actually think people are ignoring me and I've lost 14 people in the last month. I'm freaking devasted... I only have 2 bridesmaids and one groomsman booked out of a wedding party of 12

I totally agree with you, I totally didn't want to do one either, I thought, what's the point! I bought a guestbook tree which is a PDF I'm printing out at Kinko's and it's a bare tree and guests make their finger/thumb prints the leaves with the green ink I bought and they sign their name then I can frame it. It's really cute and I picked out the fonts and everything of our names and wedding dates on it. Then I thought about doing a poloroid guest book using a vintage looking chalkboard, my BF's dad has a camera I can use, just need a chalkboard. Then I was going to buy some props to play with. THEN a few weeks ago my photog sent me a guestbook with my engagement photos in it! I didn't pay for this or ask for it, he just sent it! So there you have it, I went from wanting none to having 3

Lindz that's so awesome!!! I'm excited to see them!!

Katie thank you! I got really lucky, I have a friend who works for a corporate gift service so I got the 1,000 quantity pricing for like 15 beach bags and everything else so it was all soooo cheap. Lindz - Well I wish I was a size 2 I'd totally make you some custom Converse, they are my favorite thing I've done so far!

Oh these are amazing!! I love your shoes, these picks totally rock! Congrats!

Congrats ladies!!!

Nicole that's an awesome gift! My BF did something similar, just gave us all an empty picture frame before the wedding and the picture after.

I'm doing my BD shoot this Sunday which I'm freaking out about! I'm waiting for my invites to be completed so I can send them out Trying to get people to book, so frustrating!
