Congrats Sapphire!! Way to go!

Count me in for another season! Apr 16 is great and Friday sounds perfect. It really made me pay attention to what I was eating this last season knowing I had to send someone my weight every week! Thanks for hosting Renee!!

Hey just wondering if we have any new reviews of Dreams Villamagna? I see there are a couple of weddings fairly recently. I am seriously considering it for our hotel but am stuck between it or RIU Palace Pacifico.

Hey Katie - welcome!! Happy planning!

Yes, definitely it is not the number, it is how you feel!

I wish I could remember this morning why that Cadbury Creme egg seemed like such a good idea last night. And why I thought roasting a chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing was the perfect meal before my final weigh in.... Oh well, not down as much as I had hoped this season but certainly some progress!

Have a great time! I can't wait to hear all about it. We will definitely think of you on Monday.

I am down one pound - yay!!! Almost back to my pre-vacay weight... I finally kicked my butt into gear last night and did Jillian Michaels again and I HURT today!

Gorgeous!!

Beautiful pictures! I love the one in the window where you are almost kissing.

I managed to stay the same this week which is good considering I made no effort at all! Hopefully I can back at exercising and watching the food again this week. How is everyone doing?

Amazing photos!! I love the dress and your colours! You all look gorgeous and so happy...Congratulations!!

Arrghhh...I am house sitting for my parents. I remembered to bring my computer but forgot my camera. So no weigh in pic for me this week. I will email you my weight anyways Tash for the record! I am up two pounds after my vacation last week so I am actually pretty happy with that...kind of thought it might be a lot worse!! Good luck everyone!

Jaime, your dress is gorgeous!! What is it? You look so stunning in it...!

Sounds wonderful Michele!! So glad you had a nice day. Did you use Fernando for the hair and make up? Can't wait to see pics!

Love the pictures Andi!!! I have to tell you that I had a look through all your photos and threads and I want your wedding!! Just warning you so you don't think I am a stalker...! As you know I am already booked for Las Caletas. I am working on Vallarta Palace as we fell in love with it last week. I LOVE your dress... you look absolutely gorgeous! My colours are pink, orange and some lime green... etc, etc! Oh yeah and your photog was amazing!! So....I will be picking your brain if you don't mind!

When you go over to Caletas are you leaving from PV or Nuevo? either way when you are visiting the Vallarta palace have your taxi driver point out the vallarta adventures office in Nuevo (that is where your wedding group will leave from if you are staying in Nuevo). In my opinion that is much easier to get to and find than the one in PV and it is literally right down the street from the Vallarta Palace. (not really walking distance but pretty close). Our group stayed at the Vallarta Palace and we did our welcome dinner there as well! It was nice! Can't wait to hear how your trip goes! Take pics! Hey Andi, I am so glad we saw Vallarta Palace. It wasnt really on my list intially but my TA recommended it. We were treated so amazing there from the moment we arrived. Angeles worked out a one night rate for us to stay there last night too so we didnt have to come all the way down again from up north where we are spending the week. She had champagne waiting in our room and a special table at Mar Intimo with flower petals and a candle. It was so nice! We saw Dream PV and didnt like it as well and agree it is a lot further and more difficult to get to the marina. VP is perfect in that respect too: The RIU screwed up my meeting time with them so we didn{t see it and that is fine...looked too big anyways. I think we are def going to book VP if we can get a decent rate. She said if we have around 20 rooms booked we get free private functions as well so we can have a great welcome dinner there. Andi...where did you have your welcome dinner So happy we did the LC site visit and toured the hotels...couldnt be happier with the decisions we made. Cant find the apostrophe or question mark on this Mexican keyboard...sorry for the typing!!

I just got back from our site visit to Las Caletas. I am so happy with our decision to book it for the wedding!!! It is really amazing and I love Kelley. I am so happy we did this site visit as I feel so comfortable with Kelley now. We talked all the way home about the whole wedding and I am pretty sure we are going to add the extra hour. I think it will just go by so fast too!! I agree that not much decoration is needed...it is gorgeous on its own and it sounds like the put a million candles and torches. I cant wait until next February now!!!

Thanks ladies!! Congrats to everyone on the losses! I am down in Puerto Vallarta right now putting most of it back on I am sure...must go for a run on the beach tomorrow! No weigh in for me tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Congrats on breaking the plateau Natasha! That is great. I just sent my weigh in and there was actually some progress this week!! Finally. However I am on holiday in Mexico next week so will be eating and drinking instead of excercising... oh well, I will deal with that when I get back!

Andi - Swimsuit and suntan lotion...you bet! It is going to be so exciting to see the site! We also have booked visits to some of the hotels we are considering booking. We are going to check out Dreams PV, Vallarta Palace and just waiting to hear back from RIU. Next week cannot come fast enough!!

Congrats everyone! Sapphire723 - yeah, I know it will take a while to see the difference but as you say, not having that pepsi each day has gotta help in the overall!! The big difference I have noticed and my FI has commented on is my breath has improved!! No more pepsi breath as he calls it which is nice! All the sugar I guess..

So, last week, I was really surprised at how much I was down, because I had totally slacked on the gym and eaten a couple indulgent meals out -- Elephant Walk for my sister's belated Christmas present (Cambodian/French food in Boston) and the Melting Pot (Can anyone say cheese, lobster, filet mignon, and chocolate fondue in one yummy sitting?). This week, I thought I did a lot better (healthy, home cooked meals for the most part, and grilled seafood without butter for V-day dinner out), and I was only down a little. Anyone else feel a disconnect in their weight from weeks where they know that they weren't doing the "right" things and weeks where they did everything they should? Maybe my body spent all of this week just trying to fix the damage I did last week? I completely know what you mean! It is so frustrating sometimes. I feel like I will be so careful of calories for five days straight and exercise lots and see a very slight decrease. Then I take a day off exercise and overdo the calories a bit and suddenly I am down a pound!!! I hope you are right and it is just the body playing catch up...! I completely gave up Pepsi (and I was a regular one or two a day) about 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting for the results.

I am so excited! We just set up our site visit with Kelley. We are heading down to Puerto Vallarta next Friday for a week. We get to go check out Las Caletas on Mar 2. Sounds like we go over for the whole day. I can't wait!!

Me too Cassie!! I have been sick a couple of days and it makes me so hungry...it is hard to be good! I just started the 30 day shred and LOVE IT! Go for it!!
