I found one recently at Papyrus (don't know if they have that store everywhere) which I will only send to close friends that says "That's Senora Bitch to you" on the outside and is plain on the inside. I think its funny. LOL. Of course I would never send that to family. But this store does have cute cards if you want to check it out. omg glenda, that is hilarious, will you send me one if you have an extra? i totally think theres nothing wrong with sending a photo of yourselves, in fact i love the bubbles pic and as soon as you get your photos from jason you could see if you have enough cute ones to make a collage. otherwise you can just do the one pic and they could double as both thank you cards and wedding announcements to the people you didnt invite/didnt come.

awesome thanks morgan, im going to have to show this to my DH!

carly i think you totally CAN do another photo card of some kind - just not a postcard. i personally LOVE photo cards and prefer them to regular old thank you cards any day of the week! i saw some cool stuff when i was browsing through the kodak gallery products, check that out and see if you like anything.

you ought to go to your corporate HR immediately and tell them you feel discriminated against because youre planning a wedding and your boss gave that as reason for your termination - if you can prove that you were not slacking you might be able to get something out of it

just remember, alli negates 25% of the fat you eat, so you need to be eating some fat to get it working. if you are only eating stuff thats 4 grams of fat total, you're only going to lose 1 gram of fat from taking the pill. actually i found an amazing breakfast item that makes you totally feel like you are cheating on your diet! sara lee makes these reduced fat egg mc muffins (you can ONLY have the ones with the canadian bacon, the sausage one has way too much fat) that you can find in the freezer section of the grocery store, and you can eat 2 of them and its only 12 grams of fat!!!! if you eat only one, its 6 grams of fat so you can eat something else too! a regular egg mcmuffin from mickey d's is 12 grams of fat too, but only for one, so you cant have two. if you get 1 egg mcmuffin at mickey d's, you can also get a small chocolate milk and that all adds up to 15 grams of fat. actually last week i had one egg mc muffin for breakfast 4 days in a row, and until i blew my diet by not taking any pills all weekend because i ate like a cow at all the restaurants we ate at (especially the 4 seasons for brunch sunday), i was losing weight every day because the egg mcmuffin is high in protein and with alli, is only 9 grams of fat (or 4 grams of fat if you eat the sara lee frozen ones).

congratulations and welcome to the club looking forward to seeing your mexico pics when you get back!

Yesterday I had a light yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and the lowest fat bear naked granola, I think that came out to around 5 grams When I was buying the granola I looked at all of them and chose the lowest fat one, but now that I see that my breakfasts are usually pretty low in fat, I didn't really need to do that, I could have chosen one of the others, that looked really yummy, lol! a couple things: use lowfat milk instead of skim, youll get more vitamins and junk from it and it will make alli more active because theres a little bit of fat in it. also, when it comes to fruit in your cereal, fresh berries are better than bananas - especially fresh blueberries - there are tons of antioxidants in blueberries. bananas can raise your glycemic index quite a bit so i usually stay away from them. as for the granola, if you are going to eat the bear naked, i recommend the high protein one otherwise its like you are eating all carb granola. theres a little more fat in the high protein one, but mixed with low or no fat yogurt, it is perfect for getting the alli going in the morning. i am NEVER hungry between breakfast and lunch when i eat that.

Congratulations Abbie & Doug! I hope your symbolic wedding in Cabo is everything you wished for and that the beach you wanted to use is open and easily accessible! Have a great day and I can't wait for you to return with some photos! xoxo

yes jill, i still take a pill at breakfast even if my meal is only about 4-5 grams of fat. it helps jumpstart the weight loss for the day because by lunch you already have some of it in your system so it's already working. the weeks where i didnt take it at breakfast for a few days, i didnt lose as much weight. what are you eating that is so low fat?

melissa, i know exactly how you feel - its such a blessing to have wonderful inlaws!!!!

please look at the date of the original post before answering questions like this --- this thread is almost 2 years old!!!! There is some incorrect info in this thread too -- Capilla Josefina is located at El Encanto Inn in downtown San Jose del Cabo. Here is the link to the hotel (which has photos of the chapel): El Encanto Inn - Hotel & Suites (my parents are staying at El Encanto Inn for their entire trip for my wedding in 3 weeks, I will ask my dad to photograph the chapel inside & out thoroughly for BDW) and a recent member got married there in March - coreyphil (her name is Corey) - here is her return post with a few extra photos of the chapel: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17543

i vote for a spa day and some booze. i am going to cry when i turn 30. my DH totally cried on his 30th bday too LOL. i think a girls getaway vacay sounds like a great idea too - even if it's just into the nearest big city for a night in a hotel and a spa day. something thats special and out of the ordinary routine, KWIM?

rebecca, what does the book look like done with the plastic covers on the front and back?

great review barrie! i have to read it again because im sure i can come up with a couple questions to ask you

i wouldnt recommend windy city travel only because they were overpriced and wouldnt return my phone calls. i was so ticked that i just decided to not use a TA, and everything has been going perfectly fine without one.

thanks! ive been looking to see if i can find anything cheaper than oriental trading co, but so far havent.

morg, just curious where you bought your organza bags from

for newbies

everything looked great barrie, congratulations i am so glad everything with the westin went smoothly!!!!!! i cant wait for my wedding there in just over 3 weeks!!
