AshleyMichelle

Packing too! Leaving in 4 days!

Tell me about it! I thought I was the only person to ever gain weight before her wedding but I guess I am not....So much to do so little time.....I am slowly going crazy!!!!! eek!

If you are sending out copies can I get on that train? [email protected]

Im getting Married at Grand Velas in October! you all are correct its super expensive but IMO worth every penny! The group is smaller but that is totally fine with us! We framed it as a group vacation and gave people tons of time to save and get ready! While it is expensive i must say you get what you pay for and when we went down last year they treated us like royalty! Im so excited I have like 2 months and I will be a married lady!

I am actually having my wedding there in October and we went and checked it out and it was really great! I have only heard great things about the place and the service so far has been great! I was kind of bummed that my original wedding planner Karla was no longer my planner now since she left the resort but other than that everything has been good. The wedding site with the Big white square things is what sold me! I feel in love with it as I was walking up! Its just beautiful! After October I will have more info for you!

10-30-10 in Puerto Vallarta Mexico!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!

Yesterday was the first episode I have watched in ...well forever! What the heck was wrong with Chima or however you spell her name? Why was she so upset and refused to wear a microphone or listen to the voice thing? I was really confused and annoyed with it but figured I had missed something major since she was acting like they had done something terribly wrong to her.

Planning is going great, I have worked with Richard who set everything up at first got us the contract and all and now my wedding planner is Karla who I really love! She is so great and attentive. My experience thus far has been a very positive one and I am actually going down there at the end of this month to do a site inspection so I will have pictures and more stories to tell you then!!!

I happen to love eggs but now I am getting a bit tired of them. I have been doing the protein shakes and what an improvement!

I haven't been on track as I'd like in this second round of P90X but I figure I still have time since my wedding is in April 2010...those last 10lbs WILL go!!! Thanks! 10 pounds lost and I am in my rest week! I thought I would be really happy about it but its still kinda hard LOL! I did the Core Synergistics and that was pretty hard. I am starting to love Kenpo and I love the lower body workouts (probably because I think I need to most help there)! Yoga though is not my fav at all. Speaking of Yoga I am doing that tonight! I want to lose 30 pounds but to be honest I dont care about the actual weight but the inches/size!!! So heres to me shrinking even more

I am starting on my 3rd week now! I think I will agree with the guy at the gym, at first they seemed really hard but I still could do them. Now its like only a few that I think are super hard. I think thats just because you start to really get into it and enjoy it and become better. I LOVE this so much and I have lost 7 pounds and feel so much better!

Thanks so much Mel!

I did a search and this was the only one I could find. I will keep looking! Thanks!

Do you all know of any airlines that offer group rates or discounts? I have checked out Kayak and they have some pretty good deals but I just want to make sure I am not missing anything better for my family/friends!

That sounds more like something that could work because I really do not see any politicians wives doing something like that.

I am such an odd one! I can eat some cucumbers and celery and peppers all day though! I took my before pics and could not look at them, I just looked at one today and talk about motivation!!! I am so excited about this program I encourage everyone to do it. I am coming up on finishing up my first week and I have already lost 5 pounds! Woot I love it!

lijessicam let me clarify, eating lots of fruits for me equals like one serving, I am the strangest person ever but I can't eat lots of fruits! But yes I am going to try and do the food plan they have suggested! I can't wait to see how I look after it all hell after 30 days

KLC77 I am in my first week of the classic (should I be doing lean? is it better than classic?) Today I am scheduled to do Legs&Back, Ab Ripper. I did the yoga x yesterday and man I can't believe how tight I am now especially since I used to be into yoga big time! OH well.....As far as the diet I am not really doing that so much, I am just eating fruits and veggies and and no crap. I might have to revisit the nutrition plan this weekend so I can get the maximum results!

I will chat with her and see what she can offer me. I am going to the resort this October to do our site inspection, part of me wants to try and get my hair done there and see how they do with me hair and if they are good I will just have the resort do my hair, I know it would save me much more money!

That is so exciting to hear Jen! I want to stick with it for sure! The works outs have been super hard but I feel so great after each one! KLC77 I promise to do it if you do too! I will be checking in on you to make sure you keep it up

I wanted to bring my hair dresser to the wedding but I am not sure what I should offer her. Do I pay for her entire stay and flight? her flight and just one night stay? I am really not sure what I should be doing here. Any suggestions!!!

Love Love love this show! Watch it like all the time since its on TBS, Cartoon Network and Fox all the time!

I totally just bought this and am doing this as a way to get in shape for the wedding and just life! I dont know if I want to look like the people in those commercials but I do want to slim it down and tone up for sure! I am currently on day 5 and kinda want to cry LOL in a good way though! Anyone here tried it or doing it now?

Someone posted an article about this on Twitter yesterday, Since I am living in this area its kinda cool, but I also think they need to slow it down a bit.
