you know you're addicted to BDW...

 

...when you haven't been on in 7 months and it's been almost two years since your wedding and you come running back!

Well first let me say that it is totally normal that you are freaking BUT that the dress can be fixed and everything is going to be great! I like the corset-back idea - is that a possibility? Is there room in the dress to let out the bust?

 

Don't worry too much about the dress - no matter what it can be made to work. As for the pregnant thing don't freak until you hear back one way or another.

 

Just sending you a BIG HUG!

What is a bio-fit?

 

Anyway I hook mine closed and then toss them in the washer. I hang them to dry (I feel like maybe the dryer ruins the elastic?). I guess that's what my mom always did so that's what I do! Ha!

I am glad everything went well! My one tiny bit of advice is to make sure you follow all your "after" instructions from your doctor. I know one girl who did not listen (started exercising too soon I think) and ended up with an infection. I guess in that regard it's like any other surgery right? Congrats - they look great!

Ooops! Sorry I missed the "Shower" part...

I say skip the servers and just have it be buffet! $500 is a lot for something your guests are probably not going to think about one way or another.

My thoughts exactly! I mean what TA "doesn't want people bothering her" when "bothering" actually means "conducting my business?"

She sounds like a weirdo who wants you to do all the work and for her to collect all the commission!

I agree with Morgan here. I think etiquette says that the bride/groom should not put their registry info in with the invite.

Maybe you could do this AND another place and put both on your website. that way people who would rather get you your pics can do that and people who would rather get you something else can have that option as well.

I couldn't vote 'cause I'm sort of in the middle. Plus I refuse to call you a hog!

I would say HOUSEHOLD STUFF! In that I am including doing stuff for our move to WY and travel to Nicaragua.

 

Prior to getting a housekeeper who comes once every other week I think we fought about actual cleaning a lot more. (ie we both despise cleaning the bathroom!)

I would definitely at least try calling to see what they say. Good luck!

OMG! I just signed on and saw all of this!

I am thinking Amtrak or something might be the best option after the RV. This way you don't have to worry about driving or stopping or anything.

I actually think they both look beautiful. To me they're about even so I would go with the first one that you don't have to alter.

Jen - After all your hard work I am so happy that everything was perfect! It sounds like the whole trip was amazing! Congrats!!!

If I could have a second wedding (to the same guy of course!) I would totes get my invites and well everything from Sarah! I love her monograms and if you haven't seen what she's done for her own wedding you have got to go check it out. She is amazing!

Love them! Now let's see the rest of 'em!

A few motivational sayings coined by my WW leader (thank you, Michelle if you ever read this!)

"Think before you eat, not before you exercise."

(I totally remembered this one last night when I was talking myself out of going to yoga class).

"Remember what you want most, not what you want most at the moment." (one of my favs...)

 

"You have it in you to get the weight off you."

Yay Glenda!!!

Holy shit - that is crazy! I am sorry you and your family, and well your sister too, are going through this! Big hug for you!

I gained this week here but somehow when I weighed in at WW I was down. So I figure in my head the two even out and I probably stayed teh same. PLus I had sushi a few nights ago and I think the combo of the soy sauce and PMS might not be working!

 

Is that crazy?

 

Plus I basically stopped exercising for two weeks (yes, I realize that THAT is actually the reason). But I was good with food so I feel like I should have lost anyway! Oh well, cest la vie (is that how you spell it?)

Ok, this post just made me feel very nervous! I have been out of school for about 7 years and this fall I'm going back! Yikes! I don't even know if I remember how to write a paper anymore. I will just add this to what I already know if true - I am in for a big shock!

I agree - keep it simple and elegant!

You are too kind - thank you!

Thank you so much - you are so sweet!

It's Monique Lhuillier and the name of the dress is "Scarlet."

Well the dress is long gone - the bride I sold it to got married in November. i wonder if she kept the dress or sold it to a third

I am all for NOT posting pictures. I was just in yoga pants and a camisol - doesn't sound too terrible does it? Well it is. There is no way I am posting it for the world to see unless I magically look AMAZING in two weeks. But considering my total weight loss so far has been 6 pounds I doubt there will be any difference... so um just look at my signature! That's what I looked like at my wedding this past June and I'm close to that now...

I think that is totally untrue. Here's why:

1. Weight Watchers, the most successful diet around, is so successful because it allows people the ability to splurge a little each week. A donut is like 10 WW points (or something like that) and every person is given 35 extra flex points a week to eat these types of things (or other things or course).

2. Not that you should ever eat this way but if all you ate was one donut for breakfast, one donut for lunch and a donut for dinner you would probably still lose weight. That doesn't mean you'd be very healthy but the bottom line is if your daily calories don't go up (ie you eat the donut but then watch your total calories for the day and keep them the same) then weight loss wise there is no difference.

That being said, donuts aren't very healthy for you. They have a lot of fat and sugar and it's hard to eat just half a donut. I feel like a box of krisp kremes would definitely set you back about a week but one won't kill you.
