    yes, this particular company does fresh meals in SF, DC and now PHilly. i just spoke with them and for 7 days (3 meals, 2 snacks) it is $116 - that really doesn't sound like a lot - we spend like $800 a month at whole paycheck (i mean whole foods LOL). there is no committment so you can do a week at a time but the woman said NO BOOZE - she said the booze decreases your weight loss by 1/3. smile27.gif i think i am going to do it!

    yes ann i agree - things change so fast with this wedding stuff.
    at this point - i have 2 ideas
    1. re-design a plain STD w/ logo and date and just send those (the date is not negotiable as it is our 5 year anniversary so we feel that if we find the right place and our date is not available then it is not the right place)
    2. send the hawaii map STD with a letter (we started working on one the other night) basically giving an overview of what we are thinking of doing in Hawaii and asking who thinks they could come

    Hi Christine,

    we did hear back from them - we have everything that we need. the sales manager is on vacation until tomorrow. we are ok with everything except the 1st deposit (it is huge!) so we are going to be negotiating that and it may take a couple of weeks to sort it out (if they are willing to).

    we have always had it in our plan that we would give our guests at least a year notice and really want to follow through with that, especially if Hawaii is in the picture!

    then on a very selfish note, i designed these great boarding pass save the date's with a old map of hawaii as the background

    i really want to use those but feel funny having anything to do with hawaii on there unless we have booked it!smile35.gif

I can't speak for all the food delievery systems but I work with a woman who tried Nurtisystems and she couldn't handle it for very long and the price is high.
    Thus ends my giving of my two cents....good luck with finding the plan that works for you.
    thanks stephanie! i definitely don't want to crash diet - i really just want to get back to my normal size. i am not used to having to diet so hard and am having a really hard time monitoring myself (IE...i don't want to!) so i was thinking the delivery is fresh and homemade and pre-portioned for 3 meals, 2 snacks and 1200 calories a day so i don't have to think about it.

    sorry about the rant but i am conflicted about doing it...

    so ladies (and gents) i broke my ankle a while ago and gained about 30lbs from being lazy, eating junk and not exercising AT ALL

    (i have to admit it was kind of funpopcorn.gif)

     

    i started working out and using www.myfooddiary.com in the beginning of the year, starting gung ho and lost 12lbs, have been tracking food and exercise but had Lasik around July 4th - ever since i can't get it together - i gained back about 5lbs and have been having wine and snacks like i don't have any weight left to lose. i have been exercising pretty regularly but at the end of the day i am just eating too many calories!

     

    i really want to lose ALL the weight before the spring so i can go dress shopping and not stress out.

     

    i have been thinking about getting http://www.diettogo.com/0107web/index.htm

    it is like a zone diet delivery service

     

    i know Jen (jenandbrendanwedding) is doing NutriSystem - (BTW - how is it going?)

     

    has anyone else done a zone type diet deliverey or any diet delivery?

     

    what are the Pros/Cons? Can you still drink wine / eat out occassionally?

    The only problem is you need to purchase $300 worth of stuff. So, if you have a lot guests there is some great stuff for cheap. I wish I could get some stuff, but I do not need $300 worth of anything.
    great site! you know what - you can order good OOT bag stuff and then sell the other half or whatever is left on here, craigs list or ebay - i bet other brides would buy it in a sec!

    Great Item for OOT Bags!

    I just did a search for you

    Buy After Bite first aid products online

    they are having a special - free shipping for over $25 and 5% back so if you have to buy any other drugstore type things this might make sense?

    and here are a couple sellers on ebay!
    eBay - after bite, Health Care, Camping, Hiking, Backpacking items on eBay.com=

    you might want to snatch these up!
