I have the same problem. I one alarm clock next to my bed and another across the room. Both alarm clocks have two alarm functions. I set them to go off every 5 minutes until I turn it off, one is a buzzer and the other is set on static (extremely annoying). I some how manage to hit the snooze button through this. I also set the 3 alarms available on my cell phone and have that plugged in across the room. I'm sure this will be awful fo you but it works for me.

Good luck girl. make sure you get out and walk around yourself and not just let your girls bring stuff to you. also, if you have walkie talkies, TAKE THEM. We were in a real basement in chicago so no cell service. Let us know how it goes

Okay ladies, here are the pics of the dress. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to posting pics so forgive me if you get my complete album of 450+ pics.

Here it is Amy http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t24220-2

you can rent them, I think they're $35 per table. One of the other DT brides is doing it as well (can't remember who) and got the quote from Landy

I think it's perfect for a TDD shoot and the price is right

That's just what I needed to get me back on track. I might never eat out again

OMG!!! This is like a gift from heaven

Great Job ladies! I am completely off track this week. I've been eating and drinking like I'm going to "the chair" I must be on crazy pills or something because I just bought a wedding dress that barely fits and I've got 4 months to get myself in to it comfortably. Tuesday on top of all the food I had to create a base for the night of drinking I had planned for myself....I had 2 whiskey sours, 3 mai tai's and bill on my credit card statement for $50 (I'm suspecting shots for my friends but I don't remember) Yesterday I had a burger and fries for lunch and 10 Mojito's (count them 10 Mojito's) for dinner WTF? So of course I had to have a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast today and now I can't stop thinking about what I can have for lunch. Oh and I haven't been to the gym all week because apparently I'm on a bender!!! Good Grief, I think I'm just gonna let it go this week and start fresh on Monday. We're going to Lollapalooza this weekend and we've got cabanna tickets so it's "all you can eat and drink" for free. I don't see myself having any restraint until Monday. Keep up the good work Congrats Erica!

Just getting caught up on everything. Love this new thread. Great Job Stephanie!!!!

Hi Ladies! Well I think I completely undid all the hard work and weight I lost last week over the weekend. Instead of going to the gym like I promised myself on Saturday I ended up going on the annual girls canoe trip. I managed to work my way through an entire case of beer as well as an entire bag of salt-n-vinegar chips (Family Size) and I'm sure some other stuff that I can't remember due to the case of beer. Then Sunday I parked my behind on the back of the boat and drank Mai-Tai's all day. I can't even imagine how many calories are in that!!! Of course we were all too tired to cook so we had to have Taco Bell on the way home I feel absoultey HUGE but I'm tan so I've been calling myself Fat-Tan-Stic!! all day. Hang in there ladies! You're all doing great!

I know, I know, I know. We actually didn't take any pics of me in the dress becuase once we found it we just wanted to the the hell out of there. I did take a couple pics of the dress on the hanger at my mom's house with her camera. I'll have her email them to me and post them tonight. FYI, I barely fit in it. The dress give me back clevage!!!! I need to really get my rear-end in gear with the BDW biggest loser season 3 contest! I think I gained all the weight back I lost last week over the weekend.

The last two days were doozies I ate and drank like a fool. It started out last night with a 1 1/2 bottles of wine followed by anything edible in the fridge and cupboards. I had to be up at 4 a.m. to go to the annual Running of the Brides at Filene's Basement. So of course I had to have coffe with real cream and a dozen donut holes to give me strength to get through that craziness. But I've got my new motivation aside from the cash prize. I found a dress today and it's TIGHT (back clevage tight) So tomorrow it's back to the gym. Keep it up ladies. You're all doing great

Well ladies, I'm back. I did it, I survived the running of the brides at Filene's basement and I found THE DRESS!!!!! It was chaotic, stressful and fun all at the same time. I would advise any future bride who are thinking about subjecting themselves to this craziness to abstain from having too much fun the night before. I think the excitment of us all being together and having the next day off of work thought it would be fun to celebrate (a bottle of wine each) but god did we pay dearly for it. 4 a.m. comes very early to those who stay up late and over indulge. I had 6 girls with me (myself, mother, best friend as well as maid of honor, future mother in-law and two of my future sister in-laws). We all wore matching shirts that I had painted some of the features that I wanted in my dress (strapless, sweetheart neckline and A-line). We also brought a full length mirror and had security check it in for us. FYI, this was the best thing we did. There was no way you could get near a mirror unless you were one of the first 100 people in line. It ended up being a great bargaining tool to get dresses. "you want to check youself out in my mirror? Give me a dress" We got in line at 5:30 a.m and there were at least 250 people infront of us. By the time the store opened at 8:00 the line was 2 city blocks long. When we got into the store all of the employees were cheering where we could start running and by the time I had got to the racks they were EMPTY I was shocked, heartbroken and just stood there about ready to cry and my girls had all disappeared. I bet I stood there for 5 minutes like a zombie feeling guilty that I made everyone wake up at an ungodly hour in the morning for nothing. Then I heard someone screaming my name and I looked over and Tara was waving me over. I guess my girls were way more prepared than I was because they all went to task once they got in the store. One went and grabbed the full legnth mirror and the other 4 started grabbing dresses out of reject piles. We set up shop in a corner with a couple other teams and started trying on dresses. Side note: wear appropriate undergarments. There are tons of men there. Mostly security, employees and news crew but it was creepy. Thankfully I wore yoga shorts and a camisole but there were there in thongs!!!! We kinda developed a super-team with two other groups near us. My girls figured out what kind of dresses their brides wanted and grabbed those too when out searching for new stuff and then the other teams started doing that for us as well. So instead of having only 10 dresses to try on there were at least 50. Lukily we all had different styles we wanted so there was no fighting After about an hour I had 3 dresses that were in my "maybe" pile and I was feeling like I kinda needed to make a decision about what I wanted to do. My girls were tired and delirous (one kept bring me the same dress over and over that I had said "no" to). I finally realized that "maybe" wasn't good enough so I left Tara to guard the dresses, sent my mother, andrea and barb out to hunt for more and Jen and I went walking around the store so I could see what was out there. Up until this point I had just stayed in one place and let them bring dresses to me. So now I'm walking around a store in downtown chicago in my bare feet and spandex! I have to plead temporary insanity on this one as I have no other excuse except for that I'm on a hunt for "The Dress". We get all the way to the other side of the store and I see a girl holding a dress. I want it and now I have to figure out how I'm going to get her to give me the dress. I have no bargaining tools with me. We left without a dress to trade so I look at Jen and say "that's it, I have to have that dress. what are we going to do?" Jen is a pro. I'm so glad I have her with me at this very moment because she can talk anyone "in to" or more importantly "out of" ANYTHING!!!! Jen walks right up to her and says "do you want that dress?" and the girl replies "do you have anything to trade?" Jen says "we have tons I'll go get you one right now" I completely freak and scream "No Jen you can't leave. I can stay here with her but if someone else comes along and wants this dress and has a dress to trade I'll loose it" I'm totally hysterical and shaking and I think I'm about to have a nervous breakdown (which now I'm going to play off that it was dehydration from too much wine the night before mixed up with 4 cups of coffee this morning ) Jen says to me "calm down" and then looks at the girl and says "can she at least try it on to see if she even likes it?" The girl complies. A minute later I'm in the dress and know she can't take it back now. sneaky and mean I know it but that girl was going to have to knock me out in order to get the dress back. I say to the girl "come with me, I have tons of dresses and you can have anyone that you want" When we got back to my spot I just stood in front of the mirror staring at myself (how vain!!!) and say to her "you can have them all" and I started crying. I didn't think I was that type of girl but it is true when you find the one you absolutely know it. I was the 15th person to purchase a dress and we were out of there by 9:30! It was amazing and I'm totally psyched! The dress is a very light ivory silk A-line strapless with a sweetheart neckline. Very simple with Pleating on the top part. It's dirty on the bottom which is fine because I'm short (5"2) so it needs to be hemmed about 4 inches anyway. The best part... It was $499!!!

hey, where do i get the BDW BL3 logo? I want one

Well, after a week of eating rabbit food (veggies, fish, turkey & chicken) and going to the gym everyday I lost 5.6 lbs. Pretty good except for the fact I'm feeling totally guilty I'm pretty sure that I picked a fight with my FI on purpose so I could stay in last weekend and avoid the bars. Meaning that if I went out...I would drink to much (extra calories but fun), eat too much (oh how I love bar food) and be too lazy to go to the gym. So....me, myself and I had a little reality check on Monday and decided we were going to chillax a little bit. I can't keep going the route I was otherwise I'll end up skinny and no wedding right? Great job ladies and good luck this week!

LOL yay!!! you did it with room to spare I'm so happy for you that I went out and bought some for myself. I'm sure you'll be absolutely georgous for your big day darling
