I think this is the LAMEST policy ever, but I wanted you to be aware so you're not surprised like I was. -

All right girls, I'm checking in after week one! I weighed in yesterday, and had lost 2 pounds. Not a lot, but definitely much appreciated (especially after being stuck in plateau for a MONTH!). I'm sticking with it this week, but will be adding in cardio as well, so we'll see if that helps.
Still feeling really great! I'm taking a few liberties with the diet...like I'll be having strawberries for snack today instead of celery/tomatoes (I hate tomatoes and am really tired of celery, to be honest) but mostly I'm sticking straight to it.
I'm officially 18 pounds away from my goal weight, so even if I only lose another 4 or 5 pounds on this I will be SOOO much closer!
Did anyone else start this last week?
-
Lindobride those are FANTASTIC! Seriously, they look amazing and are packed with great info. Way to go girl!
-
GOSH yes!! Next month I'll be engaged a year, and it totally feels like it has zoomed on by...but then I think about how much longer I have until January and I just want it to hurry up and get here! I need a vacation, BAAAD

I'm actually doing this to get me out of a plateau. I've lost 20 pounds since December, but the last month or so have been stuck...haven't lost any more. So I'm hoping this will kick my body back into gear as far as upping my metabolism, and then after the 3 weeks are up continue to eat healthy (with maybe one cheat day per week).
I haven't weighed myself yet, since it's only been 4 days...I will be weighing in on Sunday morning so I'll let you know how that goes. I can tell you that I FEEL thinner. I'm wearing my normal jeans today and I keep having to pull them up....they're falling off! So that's a good sign! Most importantly though...I just feel really good. I'm not falling asleep at my desk after lunch, and I wake up feeling really rested every morning. It's worth it just for that!
I still have 25 pounds to go before I get to my goal, so if this works I may do it for the 3 weeks, then take a month off (still eating healthy of course) then do it another 3 weeks..until I get to my goal!
Good luck to everyone else!

My dress is corset-back, which I liked because I bought it back in October and am still trying to lose another 20 pounds before the wedding. That way I can just tighten up the strings if I get to my goal!!

Yep, I definitely do as well. When I was doing Weight Watchers, I refused to weigh in when AF came...but after I was done, I was always at least 3 or 4 pounds less than the week before. Gotta love water retention! (Or not!)
-
All right so I'm on day three...and I seriously feel amazing! Day one was the hardest. I couldn't stop craving carbs...and then I got home and FI was drinking a beer. I swear I thought about tackling him for having the audacity to drink that in front of me (I heart beer). But yesterday and today so far have been really good. Not hungry at all. I have lots of energy (and no caffeine!) and I feel way less bloated than normal.
Definitely gonna stick this out for the whole 21 days!

Yep, super lame-o. Their reasoning is that they have negotiated these contracts with the Mexican photographers they use, and that to allow other Mexican photographers in the resort would be a breach of that contract.
I've made arrangements for another photographer they work with, so I've got it all sorted out, and deposit paid -

This was about the photographer situation...how my resort won't allow outside photographers from Mexico. We either have to use the resort photogs, or bring one from the States who must stay a minimum of 3 nights. Ivan was my preferred photographer, but they won't allow me to use him (even though he is GREAT, and I highly recommend him for any of you other brides!!!) -
I paid $450 CND for a package of 4 (french) bikini treatments so far. the laser hair clinic i go gives 25% off when you purchase 4 treatments at once, which is like getting 1 free, otherwise its $150 each session. i'm doing underarms next and that will be $225 for 4 or $75 each. Can mix and match if need more treatments to get desired results.
these clinics are getting quite competitive in town here but i don't know if you'd be interested in driving across the border into Vancouver every month to get it done though (noticed you live in Marysville, WA).
find a place you like a check it out
Thanks Rosieposie! Actually, my parents live up in Blaine, so I could always go stay with them and make a day trip out of it. I may make an appointment for a consultation near my house, though...I'll have to see how much they charge.
Thanks for all the info ladies!

Hey ladies! I'm super interested in doing laser removal for my bikini/underarms...how much (approximately) does it cost? I realize it will be different depending on where you go, where you live, etc...but what's the average??
Thanks in advance
-
All right ladies I started this diet today...I'll check back in in 3 weeks and let you know how it went!
So far so good...not really hungry because I'm eating every two hours or so. I've been to the bathroom at least 5 times already this morning (sorry if that's TMI) because of all the water I'm drinking.
Hoping this works...I have 20-25 pounds more to go before I get to my goal!

Oh, I'm totally sending the link for the review to everyone in my wedding facebook group...I hope you don't mind!

My FI and I are getting legally hitched in July. His grandparents, whom he is VERY close to and who are not going to be able to make it to Mexico, will be our witnesses. They will be the only other people there. It was really important to both of us that they be included somehow in our wedding, so they don't feel left out.
We're going to keep it on the DL...I don't really plan on telling anyone, although we won't lie if we're asked. I'll still call him my fiance until we have our ceremony in Mexico, because that's when I'm considering it "for real". We already feel married...we own a house and have two dogs...he tells everyone I'm his "better half" (he's right...hehe) What's going to make it real for me is walking down the aisle in my white dress...I cannot wait!!!
-
Yep, lindobride....those shoes are hot hot hot! Seriously love them. I'm terrible on heels, so it's barefoot for me (during the ceremony) and then some fantastic sparkly flip flops during the reception

Meredith, I also wrote a review on Andrew:

It was SO good to see how the resort went above and beyond to make your day as special as possible (besides the minor mishaps). It makes me feel 100% better about choosing Azul Beach, even with the (minor) dramas I've had so far. I can't wait to get there!!!!!
Wendy, you ROCK! -

I went to Mexico years ago (I was 12). We stayed in Cancun. Unfortunately, everyone in my family other than me got the Montezuma's Revenge...but honestly, I think it had more to do with handling the money than drinking the water.
To be safe...just drink alcohol instead!!
Any 2011 Brides out there?

We are actually thinking about changing our wedding venue/location because of the private vendor charge. I am disgusted that this was not disclosed to us until after we signed and paid our deposit. I don't like feeling hardballed and pressured into padding their pockets by using their "friends." Photography is something that is HIGH on my list, almost as high as the venue. I'm headed over to the TA threads to see if I can find us a TA who will provide a nice query of potential venues as opposed as someone who is just looking to book brides where their company will get a hefty kickback. I don't mean to sound like Debbie Downer, I just don't want to be forced to select vendors I don't like. End rant......back to happy place. :-)
I would say find the section of your contract the points this out, and see if you have better luck. Who is your WC at Azul Beach? You may have better luck with some than with others.
I will say that Azul Beach, from what I heard, is an amazing top-of-the line resort, and that the brides who have been married there don't regret the decision at all. I stuck with AB because of that.
Also want to point out that bringing someone from the states and paying for 3 nights stay may very well come out costing less than Elizabeth Medina would be charging...just something to think about. But I also understand that it's the principle of the matter, and super disgusting that they have that kind of policy in the first place.
