LOL! I have spent more money on Etsy lately that food I think

Lindz - I too love food and LOVE healthy food, I do all the cooking so FI's gets what I cook and actually doesn't complain P90X just so you know is 6 days a week minimum, the 7th day is optional. Do any of you ladies count calories? I've been a hardcore calorie counter for 5 years now and used to keep a online food diary every day, I recently got rid of it because I do the calculations in my head now that I'm used to how many cals things are. That alone will help you lose weight even if you're eating pizza every day. I love your inspiration board Lindz! I want to do one but couldn't figure out how to do it! Katie - 12 hours a day? That's a very good reason, that's a long work day! I used to do 10 until the law came in and said 8 FI and I are obsessed with True Blood too! It was actually a last minute costume I came up with on Sunday, figured it would be easy and fun, I just need to practice my LA drawl now!

I've been looking for like 5 months so far with no follow through as of yet! Especially since what looks best on me is the last thing I imagined so now I'm especially weary!

Lindz at least you're not under 200 days, that gave me a heart attack when I came back from NY... I was like "how long was I gone!!!" Now I almost forgot what I was doing wedding wise when I came back, arg!! Choosing a honeymoon hotel has been a lot harder than I anticipated but guess what Lindz, Le Blanc is where I think we may end up going! Man I love that hotel so much... it's beautiful and where I wanted to get married but out of my guests price ranges unfortunately You made a good choice! Lindz your workout plan sounds perfect! I may wait to do Insanity next year, or at least I'm trying. I'm doing P90X again now and was planning on doing it for a month and then doing Insanity so I could do my BD shoot and then I was going to just do Insanity / P90X again until my wedding which is crazy. But I'd rather be able to fit into my wedding dress which has no leeway on size, it's a button up, not a corset lace up so I have no choice but to work my butt off... my measurements were taken at my absolute smallest and taken tightly so I'm pretty worried but I'll be fine. I think I'm just talking myself through this, haha Have any of you seen/read True Blood? I'm dressing up as Sookie and FI's dressing up as Bill Compton =)

jdrewett - Those are so adorable!! I just ordered custom passport covers as well for my bridal party

Yay! I can't wait to see it

B2B - IslandBride317 - fabulous girl all around! Mrs - KatKen - always so helpful with any questions I have!

Hey Lindz! P90X is 90 days and Insanity is 60... I would take a break in between if I were you but either do some cardio in between or don't take a long break like I did. My break lasted too long and now I'm really paying for it with how sore I am! Awesome! I'll go accept you now

Courtney - I did buy my dress, a different designer though, I went over my budget but got what I consider a good deal for the dress I got and had such an amazing experience I decided to splurge on myself Mikaella is much more inexpensive than Alvina Vallenta, that's for sure. I'm currently looking for an inexpensive TTD dress on one of these sites!

LadyTrunck - I have those shoes in black!! I love them, they're so hot!

courtney - You've got good taste girl! It came down to 3 dresses for me and the other two my dress contended with was a Mikaella & Alvina Vallenta! The ONLY knock of Chinese dress site I thought of that has both is Buyer100 BUT I have never been able to find supportive reviews and I myself am too scared to buy from them so sorry if this isn't at all helpful but it's the only website I've found which has the most designer names... good luck!

Thanks Katie! I did update FB a lot didn't I Good for you, joining a gym is always my last resort too but it turns out that I work out better and more often with my DVD's (which is what P90X is). Having to drive and park and pay for parking is too much to fathom when comparing it to being able to stay in my living room and pop in a DVD. The downside of that is obviously doing it at home, once I'm at the gym I'm inspired, being at home is not as inspiring. P90X is a program, telling you which DVD to do which day and comes with a whole meal plan and all that. After being on a hiatius for about 2 months, being lazy, sick and on vaca, I'm back to the daily workout and I'm in so much pain... I've been limping for the last 2 day so I think I'll do some upper body stuff tonight Good luck Katie!

Awesome! Love it so far

Ohhhh I love my P90X.... Since I started and completed it I got 5 people to purchase and start it from the changes they saw in my body alone, didn't really sink in until I put a little weight back on and saw pictures of me in a bikini from my birthday... didn't even realize how toned I was until I got soft again, LOL!! I'm doing P90X to prepare me for Insanity... which as you can imagine is crazy. After Insanity, once I look like a Victoria's Secret model (crosses fingers, oh pretty PLEASE!!!) I'd take my BD shoot and suck it up until May If you start doing P90X again, let me know!! I love having a workout buddy to check in with even if it's a virtual one

Advntrs1 - Your dress is gorgeous!!

Thanks Lindz & Amy I did come back broke and exhausted!! Ahhh I had so much fun and ate so terribly, back to P90X for a week before I start my insanity. I do keep track of every cent I spend in a spreadsheet categorized, I have a few of these but lately I haven't been. I just have to update it but have been avoiding it knowing that I'm a little out of control. I did order the custom passports from Etsy, Etsy is my sick, sick addiction!!!

Hi Ladies! ~ I've been gone for a week, ahhh it was so wonderful. I spent a week in NY with 2 of my best friends, we do a girls vacation every year to NY to shop and just let loose. I couldn't believe that I didn't think about my wedding ONCE, no interenet either, I just needed to get away for a bit. I did miss this thread though and all of you of course! Glad to be back feelilng fresh and renewed. Now I don't know where to start. I came back to my desk and there were 8 packages on it... I need to calm down on my internet shopping! I had custom passport covers made for my girls I'm going to give them with some other travel stuff right before we all leave and I received my BD lingerie and shoes. Nicole I can't believe your wedding is so close!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Everything will be perfect Happy Friday I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Congrats and welcome Renee1811!! Happy to have you

Welcome Advntrs1! The funny thing is, I think Bree is in IT as well

Seahorses are one of my favorite things, I have tiny ones in the corners of my monogram which is my avatar

SuzyQ - I have a square logo! You're not alone It's my avatar "stamp"

Heather I love your color scheme and style of your weddding! It's going to be gorgeous, can't wait to see the wedding pictures!

Nicitica, I love it!! Sooo unique!

Thank you ladies! Try it and see what happens, it's hard to be the bigger person sometimes or the one that stays calm but it really works if you can do it. Good luck!!
