Lisa - wow congrats, that is awesome news!!! My favorite thing about losing weight is fitting in to clothes I haven't worn in ages, it feels soooo good hey? To keep up with positive news, this is day 3 for me being back on track with the diet and I am happy to report that I'm down almost 3.5 lbs from my saturday weigh-in, woot!! It's hard with the cravings but that is keeping me totally motivated right now. oh and I have a new egg recipe for the a.m. that my PT recommended I try: - 1 whole egg - 1/2 cup of egg whites - two slices of back bacon (I like to chop mine up in to small pieces) - green pepper chopped - 30g of low fat cheese So it sounds like an omlette only I did it scrambled...it tasted amazing! First time I've enjoyed a non-cheat day breakfast in a loooong time! You sautee the bacon and the green pepper then throw in the egg/eggwhite/cheese mix and cook them like you would scrambled eggs. I topped it all off with a bit of salsa, it was amazing!!! I highly recommend this!

Congrats and welcome back! Thanks for sharing your thorough review. I'm glad the Grand was amazing (as it should be!), and you're right...there is definitely a lot of huge differences between the Grand and the rest of the resorts. The rest of the resorts are good but the Grand sounds fantastic.

I'm getting so bored of my eggs + egg whites for breakfast every morning...what are you ladies all doing for breakfast? I'm referring specifically to low carb days.

I don't know what the etiquette "rules" are on this but I didn't invite my MIL to go dress shopping with me. I think it's a very personal experience and that if you aren't comfortable having her there, then don't. Also, since your own mother won't be able to share this experience with you, I don't think it would be right to share it with your FMIL either...but that's just my opinion. I think my mom would be hurt if I had gone shopping with my FMIL and not her (my mom lives 3 hours away, so I know how you feel). Best of luck to you!

Congrats again Amy, that's so exciting!

this is an awesome giveaway, someone is sooooo lucky!!

that dress is stunning, it looks like it was made for you!

So DH and I went to see New Moon this afternoon and I thought generally it was done much better than the first movie. I felt it followed the book a lot more closely, minus the imprinting which I wish they explained but I have a feeling they're saving that for Eclipse maybe. Anyhoo, here are some of my observations/thoughts from today's outing: - Kristen Stewart is better in New Moon but that's still not saying much, I feel like she over acts certain things. Like when she's having nightmares after Edward leaves her and she was screaming like someone was stabbing her in the stomach. That's just not how I imagined that when I was reading the book. - Edward's makeup just looked AWFUL, imo. I thought they made him look pretty ugly in this one, he looked much better in the first movie. - Taylor Lautner's performance as Jacob was pretty damn good, he definitely did the character justice and the other wolves were so perfectly cast. There were many points in the movie where I smiled and thought to myself that they portrayed it exactly as I had envisioned it in my head when I was reading the book, so yay! - Though it was a small part, Dakota was perfect as Jane...loved it! - You girls were right, Rob Pattinson has some weird nipple-age going on there wtf? - When Edward first appeared on screen at the beginning, girls were cheering out loud! lol Some screamed in unison "We love you Edward!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the books but that gave me secondhand embarrassment lol. I was really happy when some guy shouted loudly "shut up!" after that haha. - More hooting & hollering from girls in the theater when Jacob takes off his shirt to wipe Bella's blood from her forehead lol. - Did anyone else notice that in the first Twilight movie, Jasper speaks with a plain accent and in New Moon he all of a sudden has his "Southern Gentleman" accent that he should have had in the first movie due to his backstory of coming from the South originally? I'm glad that they made the change but it irked me that they didn't do it for the first, wtf? I did a double take when I heard it today! - I thought the old lady dream scene was well done, so that pleases me. - The girl they cast to play Emily was perfect. - They cut out the part about how Bella ends up with the motorcycles, not a big deal but still, I don't see why they couldn't keep it...oh well. Hmmm, I'm sure I had more stuff but it's late so that's all I have for now. Totally unrelated but I just picked up this book called Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and I am really liking it so far....if any of you are looking for some new stuff.

Everything looks awesome Jill, love your dress! Congrats!!!

Great review Heather! Your pics are so beautiful, kudos to Fer!!!

haha thanks for the poll Carly! Can we add a Team Switzereland to the poll? I still have equal for both of them, too hard to chose just one!

Lisa I'm glad your aunt can do the alterations in time! I don't think the flower on the dress would be too much even with you holding the bouquet. I like the flower!!

I'd like to see your dress!

By sheer willpower and determination? lol This is why I hate December, it's always all about amazing food...makes dieting impossible!

Thanks for the encouragement, Katie! Lisa - good luck girl, I know you can do it! I'm back on track this week too...so far! lol Welcome new ladies!

Those are beautiful, your band goes perfectly with your e-ring!

Addict over here too

Awww I know it's hard not to stress, but for your sanity you totally need to de-stress! Anyhoo, I really like the first dress on you and I do not think it is a hot mess at all...that being said, I do love the second dress on you as well and I think the color really compliments your gorgeous skin tone. I hope this helps you a little!
