So I'm getting back into this... I joined the BDW boards what seems like a million years ago... now my wedding is next month! AAAHHH!!! Getting excited... and stressed. Anyway... I'm getting married at Beaches Negril on November 13.

Hi Girls, I think I'm going to have to drop out this time around. My life is just too crazy right now to have to worry about one more thing. I lost my job and am on the search for a new one, I have a big exam I'm studying for, and, of course, I have a wedding to plan. I just don't have the time right now to give this the dedication it deserves. I might try to join up for the next round if things calm down a bit. I wish you all the best and hope everyone acheives their weight loss goals.

Congratulations, Marianna! Great job this week girls! A lot of big losers for week 4. I had a rough week, but hopefully I can pull myself together this week. That is assuming I can avoid all the superbowl junk food!

I think I hurt my leg yesterday working out! I'm a little worried. I don't know if I can keep up my weight loss if I can't work out regularly. Hopefully, it goes away after a couple of days, but something definitely doesn't feels right today.

Great job everyone! Keep up the great work. Now if only the temperature would get over 0 degrees today. I might want to leave the house to go to the gym. I guess I'll just be doing some home workouts again! I'm sick of this Chicago winter weather!

We're getting married at Beaches Negril on November 13. I can't wait to get down there. It should be a blast! I can't be of too much help right now, but I'm sure I will gain some experience with them in the next few months. So... if you need any help, feel free to ask. -Carrie

I finally worked out yesterday for the first time in months. I was sick all last week, so I opted out of the workouts. I've been eating pretty good though. Eating my yogurt for breakfast. For those who might be interested... the Eat This, Not That books (I have the original book and the grocery store guide) are wonderful references for eating out and what to buy at the grocery store. Its not a diet book really, but they really inform you about easy exchanges you can make in your diet without having to completely give up things you love. Good Luck girls! Week one is almost done! -Carrie

I'm in! I'm sick right now, but as soon as I'm feeling better I plan to give it my best!

Hi All! I'm new to the BDW Biggest Loser. I think I might just try this. I've been needing some motivation. Maybe money on the line is the way to go!

I ran into the same problem with Beaches Negril. However, I have written permission from the wedding coordinator that our "family friend" who is a photographer will be allowed to photograph our wedding. However, this photographer must be a guest of the resort, so we are flying ours in from the states.

I can't wait to see your review. We're leaning toward Beaches Negril for our wedding next year. You're first hand experiences will definitely help us make our decision!

Hello all! We're planning on getting married in Jamaica in November 2009. Location TBD. I'm open to suggestions. Negril interests us most right now. We're looking for an all inclusive and accomodates children even though most guests will be adults. I'm really excited to get started here. -Carrie
