katie and marcus stayed at the grand mayan we did the shoot there. had we had more time i would have gone down to old PV near the cathedral and shot around town. also i saw what looked like an abandoned and old bullfighting ring. thats where i really wanted to go but katie and marcus' schedule didnt allow for it and they are really beach people and wanted it there. we didnt trash her dress but got some nice pics that seem to be really who they are.

michelle - are you doing any set program? the reason i ask is cause i always thought i wasnt eating much until i started doing weight watchers and counting everything. i had no idea how many calories i was eating, even when i thought i was being good. otoh some people are just slow losers or slow starters. do you watch the biggest loser? i cant believe those two gals in their 20s - losing 2-4 lbs a week with all that work they are doing? do you think your metabolism is slow? dont get discouraged. i know hard to do. the best reward is seeing that scale go down but are you losing inches? it will come off just hold steady!!! or could it be youre not eating enough?

my husband and i walked down the aisle together.

refusing to weigh! i did pretty good considering but am ready to hit the ground running again. and i dont really travel again until rebeccas wedding in april. in fact WW said i will be at my goal weight by then. just thought id share. nice to see everyone success!!! and thanks kash for posting that recipe. im really hoping WW will get me back to cooking again. have a great week everyone!

i shot a wedding there a few years ago. i dont think i have anything online anymore but i will look. its a nice place definately!

gotta love it! my mom would look at me and say "are we going to eat that?" its no wonder i dont have an eating disorder. i did for a while. if only i had the discipline now!

well that may not be of much help then. you probably want to find something sooner than that. but i will come back here and post the pics from palmilla in may i think im going to be there for about 10 days cause i have courtneys wedding one weekend and then the palmilla wedding the next. probably wont bother with coming home. and i saw the most beautiful ad for palmilla today in town and country weddings. made me want to be there RIGHT NOW!!! but at least im off to puerto vallarta tomorrow!!! do you have any palmilla weddings stored up? i love to see weddings at places im going to shoot if i havent been there before. i have the sweetest little bride whos getting married at the rockhouse in jamaica and sends me links to weddings there all the time. shes so funny! happy planning!

congrats thats great!!! what a way to start

oh and probably a bit of a motivator for me was the entire time i was in memphis for christmas my granny kept making snide remarks about how fat i was. gotta love her!

well thanks ann. with both kids i seemed to have gained 10 lbs right off the bat before i even realized i was pregnant!!! definately within 8 weeks. so with that second one i only gained another 17 lbs the other 7 mos. yeah i hear what youre saying about passing the hubby. down these 10 lbs now i know i weigh less than ryan does again - thank goodness! i want to get back into all that sexy stuff you wore at your chicago shoot that fit me at one time!

dont worry too much about your weight gain. listen to your dr. i gained 60 lbs with the first one and 27 with the second. my second dr threatened me within an inch of my life about my weight every time i went. probably because of the weight gain with the first one and the fact he was almost 10 lbs. he just didnt want me developing the problems that can come along with a lot of weight gain and a bigger baby. wanna hear the worst thing though....when i started weight watchers i weighed 1 lb MORE....yes....MORE than i when i was 9 mos. pregnant with my 10 lb baby - blech!!! youre pretty active and healthy. youll be fine. just watch your diabetes stuff. do you have special appoints for that while youre pregnant? and of course some of my motivation is we want to have a baby and I AM NOT gaining 30 lbs in top of where i am and breaking the 200s while pregnant!!!

ive heard nothing but good things about the palmilla. whens your wedding? im shooting a wedding there in may and can report back after that.

week 2 down - 4.8 more lbs for a total of 9.8 just checking in and being accountable. if you have any travel tips id love to hear them. im off to PV for katie and marcus wedding tomorrow - yeah!!! and yikes (about the eating!) nic is on the same diet as my husband. the ice cream and beer diet. but im really going to try and be good and go for another 3-4 lb weight loss this next week.

im doing that too christa - good luck!

ann they have about 1000 calories and 55 grams of fat. hard to believe! sad but true.

im really not down about it. most days i cant even seem to get all my points eaten! i like this weight watchers better than anything ive done.

yeah i dont think its going to ruin my week. im still down from my last weigh in just up from what i weighed yesterday morning. and i didnt drink all my water yesterday. im drinking tons today. if i eat them again i think i may immediately dump 1/2 of them in the trash if i cant get my son or my hubby to take them off my hands. 1/2 would have been plenty but they tasted sooooo good

i save 14 points from yesterday and used 10 extra weekly points to have the movie nachos last night. guess what? today up 2 lbs. i didnt drink all my water yesterday either but anyhoo...not sure if they are worth it even if i did do it "legally"

i didnt want one either. but it was like a runaway train i couldnt stop. we settled on a dinner out. with beer. just a few friends. i dont have any family here so i was only fending off friends. no relatives. id just tell her youre not comfortable with it but sometimes its easier just to give them the little stuff and move on.

no way am i giving up my soda!!! not right now. i only drink water the rest of the day though. and 2 - 12 oz cans of diet pepsi MAX. good luck!

i think its about $17 a month. i dont remember if theres a fee. im horrible about signing up for stuff and not canceling when im not using it anymore so i had been paying for it for a while but not doing it.
