I'm here ladies!!! I didn't forget about you, just been insanely busy. I started a new job (for the same company but a different position) so it's been crazy learning new things. I don't have much to say about my weight. I haven't been to WW in a cpl of weeks because, well, I have no excuse! lol My mom and I are going this Friday, for sure! I also started going to the gym again this week, which i forgot how much I loved. I'm really happy to get back into it. I see that lots of things have been going on here in the last few weeks. Beautiful diamonds have been bought, lots of weight has been lost, new WW members. Wow, it's getting hard to keep up! lol Congratulations to everyone, I'm so happy to read all the great things! On a side note, just today, we got our confirmation for our wedding. So we're booked for Jan 6, 2010. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (had to share the great news) Anyway, that's about all for now. Have a great week everyone. I'll try to write more often!

Wow those are great! I think it def will be an option. Will have to head out shopping this weekend, how sad!? lol

Wow that would be great, thanks! I just went to the Riu website to get my date from them first. I do have a travel agent, but figured that I should book my wedding with Riu first.

Well we did choose Riu Negril and have booked a date online, but we haven't heard anything and it's been over a week and I'm starting to worry now! I think there are a few other ladies getting married there soon, so we'll have more reviews.

Hi Inunez! Pearlygirl just got married at Riu Negril so look for her review in the wedding review section, it's great! I'm also planning a wedding there for Jan 2010 and looking forward to it. Did you book your date yet?

Just wondering about the first dance on the beach. First of all, I think it's an amazing idea. Secondly, how did you organize that? Did you work with the WC or just decide to do it on your own? I think it's a great idea and I might be stealing it! Hope you don't mind! lol

Has anyone booked for 2010 yet and gotten a response? I see the girls that are going to ROR got responses so I was just wondering. I'm getting anxious here!! Let me know!

We're planning our wedding there for next Jan. Good luck on the big day!

It's so hard to close off family during such a family oriented event....but I know it's the best choice. It's just hard.....stupid drama!! I just worry about questions on the day - where is your mother? your brother? I just don't want to get into it. I think I'm more worried about that then I am about the whole wedding.... Try not to worry about that too much. It'll be mostly your family I'm sure and they know what the situation is (I'm assuming). If they knew what was good for them, no one would say anything! lol

Great job everyone on the weight loss or staying the same. Don't forget, it's better than gaining!!! I'm weighing-in on friday, so I'll post an update after then. Have a great day ladies!

I have the same problem. There will be a band of beading right across the neckline and I fear that things won't match. I'm having a hard time actually finding a necklace that I like. I think that I'll just stick with some great earrings. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with the "short neck syndrome" lol I'm not too sure about the hair thing. I guess that would be something a hairdresser would be able to tell you.

Just wondering if anyone DIDN'T wear a necklace and just earrings for their DW? I'm sorta short between my neck and wear the top of my dress starts (dresses with straps look ridiculous on me!) and I've been debating wether or not to even wear a necklace. Chokers are out of the question because they feel too restricting on me. Anyone have any ideas/input on this? If you have pics, that would be great help too! Thanks gals!

those are AMAZING and worth it! don't worry about it, he'll get over it! lol

OH and happy Valentine's Day as well ladies!!

Just a quick update. I weighed-in today and lost 2 lbs! WOO HOO!!!!! I'm still not back to my 17lb loss, but getting there. At least I'm on the right track! I'm soooo happy!!!! :) On another note, I spoke with my physiotherapist about exercising and she said that I could do whatever I wanted except for running and aerobics(too hard on my knee right now). SO, I plan on joining the same gym as my FI to get myself into shape. I'm looking forward to starting up! Hope that you all have a wonderful week! *hugs*

sounds like a great plan! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

I know, I was soooooo excited! Just waiting to hear back from them now. Any of you hear anything yet? We booked for Jan 6 2010!

I've been WAITING for you to get back!!!! lol Great review. I'm so super excited to hear that all was well (except for the crazy hair lady lol). Anyway, I have tons of questions, but can't think of any right now! lol Pics are amazing! Expect that I'll be contacting you for things! lol Congrats again on the wedding, it's such an amazing thing!

Everyone is doing amazing! Yes it's difficult sometimes, but is easy other times. I'm still stuggling right now, so it's difficult time for me. I used to be SO into the whole WW thing, but for some reason, I can't get back into it. The FI has now lost 50lbs, which is so amazing and I'm so happy for him, yes I am so mad. I'm mad at myself because I could have lost that much weight too, but instead I was a slacker! Anyway, I'm trying this week so hopefully it'll be better. Wishing you all the best, keep up the great work ladies!

Trip prices aren't even up on websites yet....... We are looking to book the first week of Jan 2-9 for our Wedding :-) That's the same week as us, except that we're headed to Negril instead!

I've tried twice now to book at Riu Negril and twice I've been told that the prices don't come out till march. I have to wait I guess.

ok well i'm not too sure why the writting is blurry, but it isn't when i look at the file. sorry about that!

Well I've been playing around with ideas for about a month now and driving myself crazy! lol I think we've finally decided on a monogram. The date might be changing as that is not booked yet. Anyway, here it is! What do you ladies think? Attachment 3178
