I did 45 minutes of turbo jam, kind of half ass! I don't know why, but I felt like such crap this morning, I had a really hard time getting moving. I think its my allergies.

Thanks Karen!

Its really not that hard, you have a points slider which calculates the points in each food, its actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it. And yes, the points are calculated based on your current weight and as you lose weight you decrease points based on the chart they give you

Yeah, I was gonna say, 19 points, you really don't need to lose anything! Tara is right though, load up on low point items, I've also been trying to eat less carbs so more protein and I have been soooo much less hungry. I eat fruit & yogurt for breakfast, cottage cheese or veggies & hummus for lunch, some type of protein & veggies for dinner, its been much easier! The carbs were killing me, I was always hungry!

Congratulations Jen! I'm so glad everything was perfect, can't wait to hear all about it!

Thanks girls! I think she will be really reasonable, I saw a couple on her site that I really liked for 399 & 499, so if she can make mine for 7 or 8 hundred or even less, I will be soooo happy. And I'll just sell the one I have. I swear it was a miracle. I've looked for dressmakers several times and never saw her ad. She was so nice and you could tell she knows her stuff. So I will let you know the details once I talk to her!

Alright, thanks for the advice. So I just went online and found a dressmaker about 20 minutes away, and I just talked to her for about 20 minutes! She's been making wedding dresses for 25 years and she sounds like she knows her stuff! She even has a website with some dresses that you can order and the prices are sooo much better than at the bridal salon! I'm so excited. She did tell me that she can't exactly copy a designers dress, so she asked me to send her several that I like so she can create a sketch for me that incorporates a couple of dresses. I'm so excited! Gotta go pick some dresses to send her, I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm about ready to! I'm driving myself nuts!

I wish I could figure out where to find a dressmaker, there doesn't seem to be too many around here, I'll have to check again.

haha Lisa, I'm the same way, by the time I get to friday its pretty much done until monday, I need to stop doing that!

Thanks girls. I've been going back and forth about this. Its not that I think 1500 is crazy to spend, but I guess for me I think its more than I should spend. I know I can sell the one I already bought. I'm so undecided, I look online every night and have seen so many beautiful dresses, I think I'm addicted to wedding dresses! Anyway, I don't even know if I'm going to have enough time to order it now, I'm down to about 19 weeks, yikes! And I wish I could try it on in the white, so I would know for sure what it would look like!! I don't know what to do, FI wants me to get the dress I really want, why can't someone else make this decision for me!

Thats a great story! Congratulations! Have you started planning yet?

I know, I know, it just seems like one more thing to add to the "to do" list and one more thing to stick in the damn overflowing budget, hahaha! I'll have to talk to steve about it and see what he thinks. I probably should have asked him if he wanted to do them, I kind of just made the decision on my own!

Good Job Jules, thats great!

Nicole that is fantastic! What a great deal! I was wondering where the pics were too, but I guess we won't have to wait too much longer since your wedding is so soon!

Good, I'm glad he's sticking up for the two of you and your decisions! I know you must be happy you're not the one arguing with her right now, haha! I think it would be even harder for you to argue with her because you wouldn't want to offend her or step on any toes. I hope everything works out!

Those came out fantastic!! It makes me kind of sad that we didn't do any I love how you incorporated your dog too!

the jergens natural glow kind of scares me, a friend of mine used it, and she's pretty pale, and she had orange streaks & spots on her legs. I'm sure thats from not applying it evenly, but thats one of the reasons I get nervous using self tanners because how do you know if you applied it evenly?

Love the revised version!

Glad to see you Jules! I'm glad you got out of that horrible job and the elliptical is a great find!

Tammy, we have to ship one of our puppies to Florida, we are using Continental, they keep the animals in an air conditioned area, so they told us that the temperature didn't matter because they have air conditioning for the animals.

I voted for #1, I like that it comes from your heart and doesn't sound like traditional vows.

Thats cute Kate! I think he wants me to write " please sign our donkeys ", although it doesn't sound the same written on the sign as when he says it, lol!

SO...even though I'm in trial I got up and went to the gym before work. Did 40 minutes of cardio and as much weightwork as I could squeeze in. I feel so much better!!!!!! Good Job Kate, doesn't it make you feel so much better! I got up this morning and did turbo sculpt for 40 minutes, I'm so sore!
