  1. Thanks! I figured someone should start the trend, and give everyone else the break to be brave too. Terrifying, but your positive responses have been a blessing. Thank you! Awww body twins haha. That's cute (and we'll both change them too!)
  2. Thank you for being brave & posting your number as well! Gave me a chuckle that our numbers are inverted... but just goes to show me how much work I have to really put into the next little while!
  3. Agreed. The number on the scale this morning was higher than normal- but it's what I am dealing with today. The weekend consisted of a whole lot of horrible eating (my birthday on Saturday and Superbowl yesterday), so that number jumped up a few pounds from last week. I think you are brave simply talking about it, and knowing what you have to do to fix it. For me, putting it all out there makes me more responsible and means I can't hide from it (like I like to do). So for me, this is how I will have to keep myself accountable. It's not for everyone, and trust me, it was terrifying typing it, and hitting submit. Took me about 15 minutes to do it. And then I had to talk away for a moment, so I wouldn't go find a way to try and delete it.
  4. Alright, I am going to be very brave and post my weigh in weight out here. If I don't do it, I will hide behind a wall of shame, and pretend it isn't there. That it wasn't what it was. So here I am, embracing all the ugliness of the scale this morning, and vowing to make me a lot better! And I don't have a single excuse for it- no baby weight, no illness. Just pure gluttony and laziness. So there, my big fat (ha!) secret is out there. And here are two body shots from this morning. Okay, it's out there, so now, it will all change. To health, happiness, and a skinnier me!
  5. Hey Ann, Sent you the money through paypal! Was becoming a challenge to get to a bank just to get $10 USD, so I found space on a CC! I will send my weigh in tomorrow. Today is going to be a bad eating day :s
  6. I am so excited to use this thread and all the deals just from here! Thanks for posting ladies!!!!
  7. Congrats and best of luck with everything! Welcome to BDW!
  8. I'm excited! I think having the support and knowing I am accountable/ in competition with strangers will really motivate me! (not that we will remain stranger for very long!). I'm trying to eat well the next couple of days, as it's my birthday on Saturday and I know there will be cake (ice cream cake at that!), so..... eat well, exercise and get into that habit. Oh, and the Superbowl on Sunday... man, this weekend is going to be just one bad snack/meal after another! Looking forward to Monday!
  9. I see both sides of the argument. Yes, it is not ideal timing or location, especially if you wanted things to be different. However, because it is a family property, and she is your sister, I completely understand that there shouldn't be an issue. It's obviously a beautiful piece of land, that allows both your dream weddings to come true. I think it's perfectly fine to have a moment, and be upset. But like inloveinkorea and cherina both pointed out, she is having her wedding after yours, and will be in the shadow of your wedding. I think you both might look at it as an amazing opportunity to bond. Your both getting married, and embracing this exciting time in your lives. Take some time, think about how you feel, and if it is still really bothering you, then be honest with her. However, don't expect her to change anything. And be prepared that it might cause some friction between the two of you. You can't force her to change her mind, but being open and honest about how it is making you feel can only open the door to further communication about it. IMHO only.
  10. Super cute! And would be really fun to wear at the reception!
  11. MY FI wants to do the same thing! Did your husband end up doing this?
  12. I read this entire article and it was just amazing! Well written, and something I will not prepare myself for!
  13. ha! That is hilarious! Oh don't you just love mothers hahaha
  14. I guess I am in the same boat as not minding the word. My fiance and I have been together for 10 years, and lived together for 7. So we actually "demoted" each other when we got engaged, from husband and wife, to fiance/e. It's hilarious. We just used whatever word came to us in the moment, if we needed too. I often wondered why he would refer to me as "wifey" or "my girl" so often to people who have known us for years and know both of us very well. It's not something I tend to do, once people know who we are and can identify us by name. I guess to each their own! Not sure what I will call him when we actually do get married- only time will tell!
  15. I was in a similar situation. I was the MOH to my fiance's brother's wedding 2 years ago. I actually "quit" because of how stressed out I was with everything. They had endless parties/ events for them, in which we were both required to attend/ bring gifts and/or money too. We both had just graduated from school, weren't working at the best jobs, and were barely making ends meet. After a debacle of a day going bridesmaid dress shopping, and having Erin tell me that because I was MOH, I could wear whatever colour I wanted, she turned around, lied and said she never said that, and made a big deal about me trying to take over their wedding. I don't lie, I'm far too much of an honest person, and I wouldn't have lied about that, so when his brother called me to ask me why I was being so rude, and why couldn't I get it through my head that this was about them, not about me, I flipped out. I called her, and told her I couldn't do this anymore. I was tired of being made to feel horrible, and that this wedding had become bigger than life, and that I wasn't into it anymore and I quit. Of course, then I got guilted back into doing it, but both my and my fiance hated every second of it, and could not wait for their "big happy day" to end. It put a serious dent into our relationship with them, that we never got over. It ended up being a beautiful day, and we had an amazing time, and forgot all about our issues, for that one day. I think you need to stand up for yourself and let her know how you feel about the situation. But be prepared to continue moving forward, and celebrate their wedding with them. Sometimes, you just have to be the bigger person, and realize that sometimes people act completely irrational in the moment, but they see their fault later on. We can't control other peoples actions, only our own.
  16. My name is Jenny, and I will be getting married at Dreams Puerto Vallarta on September 18, 2014!
  17. Hey! I know there are some of us here, and just thought it would be a cool place to all catch up/ post our wedding locations & ideas!
  18. Hi alirea! Welcome! Congrats on your engagement! Take some time and go through the forum. There are an absolute ton of posts and threads with reviews and suggestions. It can be really overwhelming, but just go slow. You have plenty of time. Have you been to DR or Mexico before?
