Thanks!!!! It was my birthday yesterday so I had some frozen yogourt and some wine....well, my stomach is NOT use to it...and its not feeling so good today!

I totally know what you mean!!! I have been battling my weight all my life, and 6 years ago lost 50 pounds, kept if off for 3 years and gained 40 back! Some was just me not putting myself first, but some was also medical, so I am working at just FEELING BETTER!!! That for me includes eating right, and incorporating exercise when I can. It sucks when you fall off the wagon, but oh how good it feels when it comes together and you start working on you and feeling good again!!! Keep at it!

Congrats on keeping it off!!! I agree, mixing up the workouts and eating a healthy diet 90% of the time is the way to make it a lifestyle instead of a diet. Congrats on falling in love with working out .....

wooooohooooo....oh man, what I would give to be in Mexico being pampered right now

Great tips....congrats!!!! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about it!

4 weeks is going to fly by!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by jazz04 Hi all I cant believe I leave in 4 weeks! Can anyone send me their detail sheet so I can see if I need to add anything. My email is [email protected] . I'm kind of nervous now about having a legal wedding there but my fiance insists on it. We have also not settled on the flowers because I want yellow lillies and they could not give me any pictures or particular kinds of lillies that they have. Sometimes it is so hard to get any information out of them. So as of now we are going to find them when we get down there.

LOL....me too! weight loss or none, we are all getting MARRIED SOMEWHERE HOT!!!!!

OH wow......they should hire you on this site!!! Thank you so much...I was giving them rates off AS's website, and this sounds better.... I am so happy it is doable, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to come, but now that I know we have options! wooohooo Thanks yet again, Murmel!

Its a beautiful color....love it!

Hey there.... The hormone diet is to try to regulate your thyroid gland (I have hypothyroidism) with food instead of synthetic hormones via pills everyday. I have been on it a week and a few days and have lost 5 pounds!!! I haven't exercised at all, but keep in mind, I need to start (lol), and I need to lose about 25-30 more. The beginning is a cleanse, which is what I have been on for the last week, so it was quite restrictive (no dairy, refined carbohydrates, caffeine, sugar) so I have been living off eggs/protein shakes/chicken salads/turkey burgers with lettuce leafs (totally miss the bun!!!) but I feel REALLY good! When is your next weigh in? Melissa

Is this a package (air/hotel/shuttle) or separate?

Thanks! I was pretty excited about it...any good news in the wedding planning department I will take!! Thats great to hear! Yes, they only want to stay 3 days, but I guess its the flights they are having trouble with...signature is the only carrier (not sure if its the same in the states)...from what I can see they don't have flights out/in on their dates they need....did your guests that stayed 3 days book seperate air/hotel or was it a package?

Thank you!!! Its nice to hear that you aren't the only one going through something that makes you feel so crappy!!! (even though it sucks that either of us has to!!!) I have talked to my Mom, FI and maid of honor, and they all agree it was not cool, and totally understand why I am so upset. I still haven't written her back...but think in time I will give her the address' (if she hasn't got them already)....but that is it. I am going to work on forgetting about those that are so unsupportive, and focus on the people that love and care about me. My FI has been amazing too....he has been saying all the right things when needed. I will keep you all updated....hopefully the rest is drama free!!!! Has yours cleared or are you still dealing with unsupportive family members? I hope not....

YEAHHHH!!! Have a blast, we will all be waiting to hear....

Ladies.... Chris' aunt and uncle are school teachers and want to come to our wedding, but can only stay for 3 nights (so they only miss 2 days of school rather then 5). I am going to check with my TA, but did/does anyones guests plan on staying for less then 7 days? If so, did they have to stay at another hotel? Not sure what their best option is....

YEAH!!! That is great! 1.4lbs down! You can do it, it'll be tough, but work it out....and off! I have been on this hormone diet and its been a week (it sucks)...its very restrictive, but I'm going to stick with it for another week (perhaps 2)....I haven't weighed myself yet, will do it on Monday, hopefully I lose something, or I will be super upset! Good Luck!!!

Hopefully tomorrow...would love to see!

Love it all!

oh man, I hope not......

I am so excited, had to share! My TA just got us $190 per person off our guests total price!!! I explained to her how a bunch of our guests were checking websites here and there, and that the price for our week had dropped, and she was able to bring it down....that is almost $400 a couple they will be saving! They just better be booking with us now and not be trying to go on their own. As so many of you have mentioned, I get the reasons behind it (incase the group needs to move etc.), its just convincing them! Out with the bad, in with the good!!!

Thank you so much for this. It totally helps, and I will remember to try and not get so nitty gritty with some details if they only do it their way in the end. You looked amazing on your wedding day!!!

Thank you all for your support and advice! I haven't responded as I am still a bit hot headed about the entire thing (more upset then anything). BUT, I have decided that I will give her the address' (as you all suggested, very very slowly Thanks again so much, so nice to know their is a place where everyone will be honest with you, and you will feel better talking it out! I'm moving on.....to happier places!

Wow!!!! Looks amazing, as do you and your family!! Congratulations!

Go with your gut....(and the votes for backup)

Please....be honest....am I being a bridezilla??? Some of you may remember the drama with my cousin as my brides maid, not really working out so I had to tell her she was demoted to bridesmaid (which is all good now).... New drama....ANOTHER cousin (we are a very close family) has been engaged for over 2 years, this will be her second marriage (I was in her first). The day I mailed my invitations, she told me she also has decided on doing a destination wedding, in Jamaica in 2012 was all she said. She asked for some tips etc. and I was fine with it at this point. Until she emailed me yesterday asking for all the families address' to help her save time as she is sending out her invitations by the end of this week!!!! I can't believe she is going to send all of our family (over 30+) invitations to hers when my RSVP deadline hasn't even passed!!!!!! Its not just that (which in my opinion isn't right)....its that she knew for sometime (MUST HAVE...if she is sending out invitations 2 weeks after she told me she has decided on a destination as well) and didn't share with me! I feel a bit deceived (not sure if thats the right word). I wish she and my aunt/uncle etc. would have just been honest when I was asking if they could come to mine, obvioulsy they can't if she is planning hers. I always thought she would be at my wedding, and while she hasn't RSVP'd as of yet, I am pretty sure she can't afford to plan hers and attend mine. This process has made me really disappointed in my family....I thought we were closer then this, and I am left feeling unsupported by them, when I have supported them all, through all the most important days of their lives. Sorry...just had to get it off my chest...so upset....
