Has anyone ever tried recipes from Now Eat This! by Rocco DiSpirito? I got it for Christmas from my FMIL (I asked for it) and it takes popular recipes and knocks down the calories to less than 350. I have made meals from it for the past two nights for dinner and both myself and my FI really like it so far. I made chicken piccata last night and tonight we had chicken tortilla soup (delish and nice for a snowy night).

So I have started to eat better and hopefully tomorrow morning I can get back into working out. Basement will be done soon so I will have workout space again as well

And we are getting a second pup next Friday so that will keep me moving

I have 11 months until the wedding, so I have time, but I just really want to feel great about myself.

I lost some weight before I went dress shopping and felt awesome. I don't have a ton to lose, maybe 10 pounds, but I need to tone so I look hot in a bikini!!

hey amanda whats the average cal count on the servings of his meals. love rocco disparito book sounds awesome

Anthony Hopkins=Silence of the Lambs

Thanks for the Aisle size to petals needed ratios!

Those freeze dried orchids look great! definitely thinking about them for centerpieces

Very sweet! Congrats!

Congratulations your ring is very unique and pretty!

1st. I'm an American not sure 100% sure about getting to Cuba but, I have heard of ppl who fly into Canada and leave from there, do not know how legit that is though

2nd. I do not see any problem with your adopted Dad walking you down the aisle, I'm sure your bio family is aware what that means to you, but having your teenager walk you down would be a cool way to include him

can't help you wiht the orange dresses in Canada though..good luck!

Wow, that was a lot of effort! great story!

That is so cool, it doesn't even look real!

We starting dating in September of 2008, He proposed on Halloween 2010 and will be married in May 2011 and can't be happier!

That's an awesome proprosal! Congrats!

Congrats! Sounds like a great surprise!

We chose our resort, the Riu Ochos Rios, because we stayed at the Riu Palace in Aruba last year and we loved it and felt it was in an appropriate price popint to ask guest to pay for since we gave them about 6 month notice. This site has a lot of info, look at the pics of other brides, read reviews but mostly figure out what you are comfortable asking your guest to do. good luck!

thanks for the info, super cute idea!

Maybe because I'm 5'2 and they basically could make another dress out of what they removed, haha.

Wow, my weding is only a week after yours and I still feel I have so much to do, mainly flowers and decorations but my dress won't be in until the first week of February! Congratulations on accomplishing all of that planning and good luck with AHR!

I feel bad you have had to deal with that, it is unacceptable and I hope everything turns out well for you

congrats and good luck planning!

Diamond girl I am impressed you do the insanity workout! I tired it for three days and hated it so badly I dreaded leaving work knowing I had to go home to that video..lol...I went crazy this holiday season so I will be going back to what workouts I did last spring for my FI brothers wedding, biggest losers last chance workout, jillian michaels 30 day shred, jillian michaels yoga meltdown, physique 57 and running...I like to mix all those up because I get bored easily and I go to two local zumba/ zumba toning classes per week...I love the zumba classes so fun! Exercise is fine for me, my weakness is sweets, I won't be doing any fad diets, just eating healthy and correct portion size, good luck to all of you! I knwo I will need it!

Love their christmas PJ's! so Cute, Congrats!

I LOVE the dress you have now, beautiful but, if you are choosing btw the 2 new ones I pick the first one, the second seems more for a rustic wedding than beach..just my opinion though

Amazing story

I love the necklace! thanks for the suggestion!

Matt Damon=Eurotrip ;-)

Thanks for the receipe! I'm definitely using this for the AHR, such a cute way to have a little bit of Jamaican atomosphere! Love the tiki bar!

thanks Andrea, that book looks so cute but not super cheesy!
