On the weekend my parents told us that they were going to pay for our DW!!!!! I'm sooooooooo happy about that. This way, we'll be able to save our money to stay for a second week possibly or get extras that we wouldn't have bothered with before. Anyway, I'm so freakin' happy!

Has anyone done postcard RSVP? I thought it would be cute considering we're doing boarding pass invites and it would tie in with the DW theme. I thought that I saw something on here about it, but I can't seem to find it anymore If anyone has any info or even a template that they would like to share, I would really, really, really appreciate it!! Thanks so much ladies, you've all given me great ideas!

Congrats!!!!!!! I knew you could do it!! *hugs*

That's men for ya! They don't always think properly. As if he's gonna have a bachelor party when he's already married, what's the point? SHEESH MEN!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Congrats on the weight loss!!!!! Good for you. I am having such a hard time with this right now. I was doing amazing before my knee surgery and now, I just can't get back into it. We had chinese last night, ate out again tonight, had DQ also then popcorn (girls night with my cousin). Anyway, it's very difficult but tomorrow I will get right back into it. I'm rootin' for ya Mrs D To Be!! you can do it!

I've been considering this as well. Thanks for all the tips ladies.

I think it would be great. Love it!

Please help me out with this one cause my FI keeps kidding around that I am going in the water. I had actually been thinking the same things actually. I never heard of TTD until I joined this forum. I think that it's a really great idea and the pictures are amazing. My aunt is making my dress so I can't really see myself ruining it.

I know, it's scary!

Tomorrow we are going to see our TA about our wedding/trip. I'm sooo looking forward to this to see what she has to say! Wish us luck!!

We're not having any bridesmaids or groomsmen. We figured it would be an easy way to save some money as we won't have to pay for their dresses, hair, etc. I was engaged before and had asked some of my cousins to stand for me but now, I probably would ask one of my friends instead. The FI has 2 brothers, so how do you choose one over the other to be the "best man". It's less complicated for us this way. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure will be the right thing.

Thanks for sharing, great site!

I guess with all of the modifications I've made to it I should call it Taco flavored Vegetable soup now...lol I know it probably sounds weird to add zucchini to taco soup but I think it really beefs up the soup and it actually turns out more of like a chili than a soup. Adding more vegetables makes the soup/chili less points per serving too. This recipe is only 2 pts. per serving. Here it is in case anyone wants it: Taco Vegetable Soup/Chili 16 servings 1C per serving 2 Pts. per serving Ingredients: 5 C. diced carrots 1 C. diced onion 4 C. dicedq zucchini 7 oz can Diced green chiles 1 lb. Ground Turkey browned 29 oz can (3 1/2 C.) Pinto Beans (strained) 1 14.5 oz. can Diced Tomatoes 1 can (3 1/2 C.) yellow corn 1 packet taco seasoning 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix 4 C fat-free chicken broth Instructions In a large pot brown ground turkey with onion. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 1 hr. My kids don't like vegetables and even they like it! I usually grab one to take to work and eat it with a sandwich for lunch. I also like to have a cup for a snack if I get hungry in the evening. It's very filling for 2 points. OMG! Thank you so much, it sounds amazing. I'll definitely buy the ingredients for this. And only 2 points? That's great!!!

I don't have the money to sign up for the meetings, but I found an online calculator, and my mom has been doing ww for a while and knows all the rules. I never knew how hard it would be! even the first day it was hard, because I like to snack!!! Kudos to ppl who do it for a long time!!" I was super excited when I saw this thread get started up. I hope it will give me the motivation i need!! When are you guys getting married, and where? Any tips for motivation? Good luck!! Welcome Amelia! St Lucia sounds amazing! We're planning our wedding for January 2010 in Jamaica. I'm getting excited as I'm sure you are. I was so happy too when I saw this thread. It's great to be able to chat with everyone and send encouragements. Good luck with the weight loss!

Awesome! Great job.

X Congrats on an awesome job! Happy belated birthday as well! You'll lose the weight for next week also, I just know it! Good for you for going to the gym. I had knee surgery about 7 weeks ago so I'm still recovering from that so I'm not able to do alot exercise wise. I work out with my physiotherapist to stenghten my legs so that's helping. We do have a bicycle here and I actually used it yesterday so I'm proud of myself for that. Anyway, still watching what I eat and I'm off for my official weight-in on Wednesday. Have a good week ladies!

My vote is for the first one. I also like the one where the front of the hair is pulled back.

That's great! Good for you! My start week got extended until next week. (Crazy insane week). I've been watching though, so hopefully next week will be a good weight in. We're going wednesday night, so I'll update then. Have a good week everyone. What taco soup? Sounds great as I love tacos.

Congrats! I'm planning a wedding for 2010 as well. Good luck!
