Any info is appreciated =) Check out the other Dreams Resorts.. Dreams Riviera Maya, Dreams Puerto Aventuras.. etc. I have only heard good things about them

I also replace my yoga day with a hot yoga class.. my office offers it free, so ya can't beat that!! Hot yoga feels great after giving your body such a beating with these work outs!

love! the color pink?

I second that! You are very fortunate to do a site visit! Your feedback will be very helpful for brides to be!

Hi Laura!! Congrats and happy planning!! I like the Dreams Resorts.. from what I have found in my research, they have the most options for weddings.. They do weddings all the time at there resorts and I wanted to go with a resort that was experienced.

Would someone mind emailing me the brochure [email protected] I have had some of my guests ask me about the security in Mexico as well. I did some research and if you go to state.gov. There is a ton of information regarding traveling outside the US. If your resort is in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, you should be fine. That area is 8+ hours away from where all the crime has been going on. Also, I am making sure all my guests are traveling to and from airport and resort during daytime hours. Hope this helps!

Hi Lola! I'm new myself and I to have already found this super helpful! Congrats and happy planning!!!!

Are there any more September 2010 weddings other than me?

Thank you for the TA advice. I had a pretty large crowd coming, some of whom are older folks, so I think I made a good decision by getting one. Thanks!!

Thank you!!! Yes, I eat pretty much the same thing everyday. Im on a mission!!! I switch back and forth between fish and chicken and season it differetly as well. I also use different vegetables like spinach, asparagus and broccoli. I have been losing 2 lbs a week. I have been doing it for a month and am down 7 lbs. I have worked out since I was 18 and am toned, but have never been successful with losing weight. I used to work at a gym and had free access to PT's, but it I now know it is all about the diet. You really are what you eat!!!

I started using destinationweddings.com myself and got my $ back after the lady assigned to me wouldn't get back to me when she said she would. Anyway, I am using Elite Travel Group now and so far so good. They specialize in destination weddings and they also help me out with the planning at no additional cost. Great pic by the way!

I got "okay" results the first go around. That is only because of the diet part though. I only missed 2-3 workouts throughout the whole program. I can't express enough how important it is to eat right and use portion control!! That is where people don't see more results. The first time I lost about 7-8 lbs., but you also gain a lot of muscle, so I would say it was around 10-12 lbs. of fat that I really lost.

See attached pdf file for the plan. GOOD LUCK!!! Diet Plan.pdf

I do some additional cardio, that is when I can fit it in!! Although, because all of the workouts are pretty much fast paced, you can consider it a cardio workout. As long as you heart rate is up, to me it's cardio! Nutrition is the key! I attached my diet plan to, it works!! Good luck!! Diet Plan.pdf

Thank you all!! I'm so glad I found the forum!!!! I can already see how much it is going to help me!!!

Is anyone going to DPA going through a travel agency

Thank you Danielle! Congrats to you!!!!!!!!

Hi Taghan! I LOVE those pink shoes!!!!!!!!!!! I see that you have already sold them, but wanted to know where you bought them I have been searching for weeks now! I spent two hours last night searching online for them and couldn't find them, I googled Anne Michelle. Please help!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much echo! Congrats to you and good luck!! I will look forward to hearing how everything went!!! Im sure it will be beautiful!!!

This is my second go around with P90X and IT WORKS!!! I got mine on ebay for $75. The first go around I followed the 1500 calorie diet plan in the book and still got results, but not as much as I wanted. This go around (I finish on April 24, 2010), I am using a different diet that is 1100 calories and am seeing much better results. You are what you eat!!! Its SO important to eat right when your doing this workout program. Eating right will give you the energy you need and let you lose the weight you want to at the same time!! I am doing it with a friend to, we work out everyday after work. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to give up, but because I had her support, I felt like I owed it to her to stick with it. Good luck with your goals!!!
