Cass those ROCK I just finished mine too, so I know how much work goes into them!

My fiance is finishing his 2nd cycle now, so he is a great source of support!!

So I just read some trip advisor reviews about the beach ceremony that were less than stellar... I'm a little concerned? Seems like it is a waste of $300 for what you get! I emailed Deyanira to ask her what can be done to make it better andmore worth the money, I will see what she comes back with!

hahaha I just checked into this thread, since I feel like its a good place for support! haha I am on day 7 today, and it will be the stretch for me! thank god - I need it after this past week! I hate chest/back day, it really kills me!!

I agree with that as well! I found clothes that didnt fit me before are fitting me, and it feels fantastic!

T Mischaka, I agree with Sapphire; be proud of what you have ALREADY accomplished! Something that has always worked for me is to set smaller goals; myticker says 18 or so pounds left to go until I it my goal, but it sounds daunting all in one shot. So, when I had 33 to lose, I decided to set 5 pound goals for myself. When I hithat goal, I would feel so proud and accomplished that it was motivating! When I hit 15 pounds lost, I told myself I would buy really great sunglasses for my trip... and I did. I bought Ray Ban aviators that I had always wanted. We are all hee in this thread because we are not where we really want to be, so you can be assured you are surrounded by people who understand where you are coming from with your sucesses, failures, stumbling points and frustrations. Keep moving forward!!

B was eating Doritos in front of me last night... I could have killed him lol ESPECIALLY since I had just finished P90X... argh.

wow what a unique idea! I love snowboarding too, VERY MUCH

Have to be honest though- I have probably had one too many cheat meals. I need to just cut it totally down. Only 2 1/2 months to go for us! I know!! I am going to die when the ticker shows 1 month and something... hahaha! That's my thing too - I have cheat meals too often... LOL! But I think now that Friday is weigh-in day, I will probably use that night as my cheat day, since I always get a great work out in on Saturdays! Speaking of working out - I am on day 6 of P90X, and it is killing me but its great! I'm doing some extra cardio in addition to it, since for me here isn't enough cardio invloved. But it does a lot more moves (i.e. chinups on our new bar) that I wouldn't have done otherwise! I think I'm going to get my AHR invitations shamped and ready to go, then take the puppy for a walk - cardio twice in one day! Renee, I will get the picture for you this afternoon, B is working until 4 and then working out himself

Oh ok, that's good! We had some drop outs, then some adds, and I told anyone that added over the 20 person threshold that they would have to pay for their own boat cruise (since it is people I don;t even know, friends of guests).

Oh ok I see! Let me know how that part of it goes, since I will be dying to know! Your guest count has fluctuated? Really?

Wow... at least take solace in the fact this isn't happening a month or two away from your wedding.. that would be brutal! Are they going to throw in anything extra, since it's their error?

Give Cassie's idea a try, since I'm not sure what protocol is when it is international travel. I'm sure SOMETHING can be done... with a little sugar

I am going to send you my scale pic now Renee, and my before pic tomorrow... B was still in bed this morning! lol I was so depressed to weigh myself, only to find I am up 3 pounds in total YIKES! I need to get my butt moving... problem is, I HAVE been moving my butt a lot! Hopefully my body mass is just changing...

I am definitely going to get my welcome books bound, since they are quite thick... so for the pre-travel I might just do the ribbon or something hehe! Elena, there is nothing to worry about! As weird as it may SEEM, they are reputable and didn't run away with our money... haha! ACTUALLY, it cost us more in the long run to send a wire transfer, since that alone costs money... Erin, what are the payment mehtods for the rest? Do the travelers checks cost extra in the sense that they come with fees? As you know, we've all heard that it is not recommended for down there...?

oh and Elena - since we have fish bowl style vases, we are wrapping them in bubble wrap and my mom, my dad and my aunt are carrying them in their carry on

Elena - I am pretty sure that when I was in Punta Cana last year, my Mom said every single day it showed rain showers while we were there... and it only rained for about an hour one day! Don't worry about that too much Toya - can't wait for the pictures of the fitting!! Eliana - NEED THESE INVITE PICS! I'm going to post mine too, I just need to get my batteries charged... hehe! Erin - I actually had a couple of more people book (yay!) and then another couple of dropouts... Flori basically said it didn't really matter, so I'm not worried! I am pretty sure our numbers will be at about 19 ish... so thats close enough for me I am so excited for your planning thread... and like you said, we have probably seen a lot of it, but it is always cool to see it all together in one place! I liked your pre-travel the best, because it covered so many bases it was hard to have ANY questions! I did that all in one evening/night... did you just staple it together? And when did you start your planning thread?

You ladies are sending pictures already? Isn't the weigh in on friday? I'm confused... ?? I did the non-competing category last time, and it is definitely good to have to send your weight to someone every week (read: accountability)! I'm stoked for this to start! I started P90X yesterday, and I am so sore today... yikes! But what's good is that I'm sore in some of the spots that would be trouble in a dress... like the spillover wings! hahaha

and thanks for the centrepiece love Jenn! :hugs2:

I basically took from Erin's pre-travel brochure and kind of customized it to make it our own! But if you've seen her template, it's very similar! (thanks by the way Erin haha)

oh and Erin, that is honestly too funny! I did that with my STD's, so don't feel so bad! I only did about 10, thankfully! But it still sucked... hahaha

YOWZA, that's huge... SORRY!

LOL Toya you sound like me! I always feel like I'm missing something when I make a list! Sooo thanks to the Michaels sale this weekend, I COMPLETELY changed my centrepieces! They had a mock-up on display, and I fell in love with it. The bowls were only $2.99, so thank goodness for that! My Mom offered to buy it because she just loved it so much, and I was being cheap since I already bought mine hahaha Here is what the mock-up looks like:

I'm going to add hot yoga to my routine, and try very hard to cut carbs... as hard as that will be!!!

I got so much accomplished this weekend... wow! I got the AHR invites done, B got his flip flops and shirt, I got all of my under dress stuff and finished our pre-travel information booklet... yay! I feel so accomplished... hahaha
