Oh man, i've never seen that show but HAHAHHA that's funny. Yah, my poo has been weird no smell hahaha ok TMI I had my burger patty for lunch, cooked it in the oven on broil yummy! Tonight I will have another with onions and tomatoes. Can't wait!!

You can definitely do that! I handed mine out before, well we are leaving next week. I handed them out a month ago. I wanted everyone to have them ahead of time so they don't get double stuff. Like I gave them aloe vera gel and I didn't want them to buy some since I provided it.

Everyone is doing so good!!! I just got back from the gym and I am down 7lbs! I can't believe it, it usually takes me a month to lose that amount. I just caught up on the thread this morning. Celina- I'm so sorry you feel bad hopefully eating the soup bland today will help out. Jill- down 6lbs, thats great! I'm about to make Worcestershire beef patties with garlic and red pepper MMMMMMM tomorrow we will have steak. My stomach is growling!

I know I'm getting sick of the soup. BUT it's definitely worth it and it's getting me back on track to eating healthy.

OMG I spoke to soon earlier hahahah I thought it had gotten easier but I'm HUNGRY I'm about to make a banana shake. I didn't go to the gym so I didn't get to weigh myself either. I'M WITH y'all I CAN'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW!! BEEF! YAY!

That's so true I did good on the South Beach Diet because there's not a whole lot you can have.

I'm starting to get quite used to this diet and it seems to be significantly easier! I plan on going to the gym later and I can't wait to weigh myself again.

Thank you You girls are making me feel better!!

There is always the chapel (unless your group is large) Good luck! oh thank you I'm keepin' my fingers crossed too! Yes, we have a small group so the chapel would be gorgeous if we can't have the beach The times I've been in Mexico when it rains it's usually only for an hour SO I really hope that's all that will happen.

Really cool! I want one!

I just looked at the weather forecast for next week (we will be there Wed. the 25- Wed. July2nd) and my wedding is on Fri. the 27th. WELL the forecast shows scatterted t-storms 60% chance! on not only the wedding day but the whole time we're there! UGHHHH!

My FI had to work a 24 hour shift yesterday and we he comes home from those shifts he ALWAYS has fast food. This morning he came home with McDonalds, I could have killed him! I said couldn't you have eaten that in the car! I made a spicy bowl of soup and was happy

That is so amazing!!!! I'm so happy it is working so great for you!!!. I'm going to do the banana shake today

Where do you get this yogi tea, I want some I had a banana and skim milk this morning. I LOVE bananas so this day should go well for me BUT I can'twait for tomorrow's beef.

That was one of the most beautiful passages I have ever read for a wedding! "You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way. All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks - all those sentences that began with “When we’re married†and continued with “I will and you will and we willâ€- those late night talks that included “someday†and “somehow†and “maybeâ€- and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “ You know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed- well, I meant it all, every word.†Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another- best friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, and even teacher, for you have learned much from one another in these last few years. Now you shall say a few words that take you across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between you. For after these vows, you shall say to the world, this- is my husband, this- is my wife." I love this! Thanks!

I don't have enough power to look at them eat desert! When do you girls weigh yourselves? Morning or night? Gosh that would be SO hard for me!! You're awesome and I give props to you

I wanted to find out the costs envolved with that. - Any chance you can find out for me and let me know when you get back? Thanks a lot in advance, Anna Yea, sure I'll ask her. For about how many people? I'm sure she will ask that.

LOL MOnica - 9 days OMG!!! Good luck with dinner! I know It's really 6 days before we leave!!! It's been hard because all I want to do is go out to eat and celebrate because we are so close to leaving I'm excited! BUT nope I'm sticking to it and plan on after this is over to be somewhat strict so I can keep the weight off. mainly just going to cut out bad carbs- hope it works

I like the new idea. You have my vote!

His hair looked totally greasy and nasty. But the rest of him looked damn good! I saw that and I saw him on a boflex commercial. FI thinks he's just an actor not a personal trainer. I told FI he lives in Hollywood I'm sure he does lots of things! FI is just hating on him cause he doesn't have that body

I'm pretty laid back about things so hopefully everything goes well and I can report back with a great review and pics!!!
