you're welcome. : ) I struggled with month two and now I realize that it's ok if you can't do everything (that's a tough one for me because I'm a perfectionist at heart ; ). hmmm... what to do next? that's a tough one. I'd say maybe take a week or so off and then bounce between month one and month two for the remaining time. OR if you want more muscle results, see if you can get your hands on a copy of P90X. I just borrowed it from one of my friends, and it's like an hour of weights, which seems BORING by comparison but may give you the definition you want when mixed with Insanity. I think their recommended way of combining both is 4 days P90X and 2 days Insanity, but you can do whatever you like. or you could go take some yoga classes, run, swim, anything active. I'd just taper it a bit before the wedding so you're not running up to the breaking point just before leaving and going to lounge around and drink cocktails all day during your vacation. ; ) (I know, I'm planning to do that, too ; ). if you want to lose fat, I'd stay with Insanity. if you're already pretty lean and want to build more muscle, I'd try some weights and/or P90X. keep me posted with what you decide, and congrats on getting this far into month two!! : ) -kelly

I'm a former bartender and made my own list. if you want to PM me your email address, I can send it to you. actually, let me try posting it here to see if it works. I was planning to send it out as part of a laminated pre-departure brochure that people could bring with them to the resort. these were all the potential RESORT drinks I could think of/find on the internet. I'd appreciate if anyone has suggestions or recipes for the other drinks listed (we can open another forum for this if needed). thanks! Wedding Drinks.docx

I think even if you run the numbers, you'll find that the Free wedding package costs you a lot more, mainly due to the reception fees per guest (unless you were planning on staying in the Master room anyways). we have a much smaller group, so I didn't consider the Luxury wedding, but don't be afraid to whip out the Excel and crunch the numbers per package to see what fits best.

I'll check and let you know. may be tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

I think the best advice is to keep going. try to take a break (e.g. pause the video) if your muscles/endurance need a minute to recover and continue to do what you can. don't be too disappointed if you can't do everything, just try, and I think you'll surprise yourself as you can do more and more. and honestly, I wouldn't be afraid to dip back into month one every now and again to have a lighter day and look back at just how far you've come. I remember the day that being in plank felt as natural as standing on the ground. that was a good moment, but it was a few weeks into month two before it happened. keep going, tropic lover. you can do it!! : )

ok, all meds are really sold now. neiman marcus bags and hand sanitizers are still available.

VERY. the workouts are harder, and they're an hour in duration. even the warm up is a killer. now that I'm doing month one again, I have flashbacks to last year, and the only thing etched into my brain was the few weeks of month two I actually managed to finish. the girls on here encouraged me to stick with month two, but I think it's ok to dip back into month one every now and again. good luck!!

that's about all I could muster the first time I did it. this time I'm planning to skip the easy week and go straight into month two. maybe you can take a break for four weeks and then you'll be under the gun to get it done in 60 days. ; )

hey jamie - how far did you get? it's official, I'm back in for my second round of Insanity (the first one started around April of last year, so it doesn't count ; ). I've been eating well (Insanity-approved meals) since 2/12 and started Month One on 2/15. I had to take several days off in between due to soreness, but I'm hoping it will be consistent from this point forward. I've also asked a friend if I can borrow her P90X so that I can throw in some muscle building as well. has anyone else started recently? how is everyone doing? -kelly

to be honest, I've always thought the lace up back was reminiscent of a lingerie corset, and, like you, I was determined not to have anything that laced up (funny, I don't have buttons either, just a hidden zipper). that being said, I did try on a dress or two that laced up, and the fit was amazing. it was amazingly tight, too (in the 'can't-breathe') sense - why do those consultants tug on them like it's the 16th century?? anyhow, I'd imagine that people choose the corset based on the way the dress fits them, but there are plenty of non-corset dresses out there.

*** UPDATE *** the buyer for the meds backed out. all are AVAILABLE: * advil liqui-gels * imodium * emergen-c thanks!

it comes from Amazon.com. I've decided to return the box that I purchased because it's unused, but you can get it from them for $2 each in lots of 15 ($30 total per lot): http://www.amazon.com/Banana-Boat-Moisturizing-Lotion-Travel/dp/B0035KELDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329842013&sr=8-1

I also am unable to edit my classified posting. bumping this older thread in hopes that a moderator will see it. it says "no permission" when I try to edit my classified ad.

I think I am (provided there's enough time). I'd like to reinforce the Royal's dress code (they're serious about slacks and covered footwear for guys), and I was going to put a list of drinks you can order in Mexico on there. I plan to laminate them so people can have them poolside.
