I was in the same boat for 6 months. I cried every time I went on the scale! Now a combination of 1200 calories/day, 4 times a week workout (cardio and heavy weights) plus the CapsiPlex has been finally working. Just don't lose hope. You will look great for your wedding.

You look great Veronica. Congrats. My groom doesn't have a suit yet either No worries! We are waiting for my mom's visit in March to do my fitting and buy his suit. She lives on the east coast and we want to make sure she feels "included".

I just went to the extreme last week with a 3500-calories deficiency (1200 calories a day. Cardio and heavy weights 4 times). So hard ... But the scale finally showed a 1.5 lb weight loss. Now I only have to keep it up for another 3 months. Wish me luck

Cocktail hour at 6 and reception at 7. We are actually moving the reception to a ballroom at the resort at 10:30 and party until 2 AM! It was only $500 more + hourly rate for DJ. We are all about dancing too Which resort is your daughter's wedding at? Ask the WC about extended hours.

Our ceremony is at 5:30. Just in time for sunset photos

Really? All that cheese???

I am looking for creative ideas to celebrate Valentine's day without cheating on the diet or breaking the budget. Hmmm ...

Wow! Very impressive. Keep it up

I am on my 4th day of 1200 calories! It is killing me, but I am determined. Wish me luck

I have a funny story to share: My FI who is usually on a pizza/diet coke diet and "runs only if chased", signed up for a tanning salon yesterday and left the house with his gym bag this morning. He said: "It is wedding crunch time" and he doesn't want to be called "the big white whale" in the resort. I was laughing so hard this morning!

You are so funny! I have been wondering the same thing

How does everyone feel about the fat burning supplements? My cousin swears by CapsiPlex. But I just can't trust them .... Maybe for a short period of time? It's wedding crunch time for me, 3 months and 20 lbs to go!

So sorry to hear about all the drama! insurance companies are horrible. They will do anything to get out of paying. I have had good luck with AAA car insurance. You may want to ask for a quote. I think everyone has a few days of stressful events during wedding planning. Let's hope that it has come and gone for you guys. I hope the rest of your week goes better. If it makes you feel any better, I am working 12-hr days, planning the wedding AND we are trying to buy a house by May too. Stress is my second nature now Quote: Originally Posted by rosieposie what a day! saturday night, i borrowed FI's car to run some errands, parked in front of my house on the street and someone hit and runs it. Made for a crappy weekend. Then he phoned the insurance company to report it. told him to take to the body shop - today they call said their estimater looked at the damage and "it's not consistant with that of a vehicle impact - did you run into a pole or something?". No i didn't. Wouldn't I know if I did since it's on the driver's side?? Meeting with them on Thurs afternoon to discuss our options. It'll cost $1000 to fix if they deny the claim. Not the end of the world but it totally sucks and definately eats into my budget. I can't believe it. FI didn't seem mad or anything at me about it, just choked that it happend.....which kinda made me feel bad but.................... THEN, FI calls the restaurant for the AHR asking for some approx. dollar figures and to check max. seating capacity and freaks out when the guy misunderstood what he meant and said the min. charge is $22 800. (I did too since it's way more than what we were originally quoted). So then I had to call and sort it out and see what it was all about, BUT not before FI freaks out at me about always choosing the most expensive "everything" and how this was a poor choice, etc.etc. (we also had problem with them regarding ordering alcohol & bringing our own) what a crappy week - and it's only Tuesday. i'm stressed and feeling depressed. why is it when things seem to move smoothly, a ton of bricks come along?

My friend/trainer has a pretty good blog with some great tips: http://fitnfabyou.blogspot.com/search/label/Fitness She is a big believer in weight training as well. She has been helping me out lot. Enjoy!

SMART Thanks. I will call the TA.

I have a guest who RSVPed "Plus One" without giving me a name. Do you think this is rude? Should I ask who this person is?

My new motivation to stay on the treadmill, AT&T U-Verse shows and Netflix Instant Watch on my iPhone. I watched a whole season of Dexter while working out

I am new to this thread and enjoyed reading all the inspirational comments. I need to lose 20 lbs by May. I have been trying for months with no results. But I can't give up! Cheers, Azadeh

Have a great week.

We ordered our bands last night Guys are so strange sometimes. My fiance wanted a tungsten band with carbon fiber. $40 on Amazon. Oh well, good for me! I got my eternity diamond band in platinum You have to give Blue Nile a chance. Their prices are unbeatable. They have a promotion for Valentine's Day. Code: GIFT11 will get you $150 off any purchase over $1,000. Plus free next day shipping and no tax!

Having a destination wedding has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. It has made the planning so much fun and easy. The only downside is the additional stress of having to have a bikini-ready body. It is killing me

I am going to ask a very stupid question. I apologize: What are AHR's?

Very nice I
