i guess you could get some extra flavor from the candle too.....LOL All my candles are FOOD (ie. banana nut bread, vanilla cupcake)

HI All, Havent checked in for awhile I leave in 43 days.!! Im getting nervous....YIKES Well since Jan 3rd I have lost 12.5 pounds, now that might not seem like alot but i now weight 122 pounds.!!! Boy has it been tough, (last nite i had two pieces of pizza....LOL.......gotta live a little) Now i want to tone my BUTT, i think that is going to take longer than 43 days. I know you arent suposed to work a body party more than once a week, but how am i gonna get a hard rock but by only doing legs once a week???

Bella, I had problems getting my deposit acknowledged!! It took forever and they just werent in any hurry. But she always assured me that she would hold my day. I just kept on her. I cant imagine how many emails she gets a day. So I try to be understanding that our sense of urgency isnt her sense or urgency. Oh, I also contacted the woman whose name was on the deposit information as well.......I called and emailed her and she answered right away that she HAD received it and i then forwarded those emails onto Cecilia and that was super helpful. Let me know if you need the contact's name. PM me if you need it. OK so, here's my lil dilema. I have the simpliest wedding, only 8 ppl no frills or music or fancy dresses or decor........nothing!! I went with the basic package!! Nuttin extra. I did get an outside photographer, we r getting married at 3pm, pics until 6pm......DO YOU KNOW, i cant have my wedding dinner until 9pm when everyone else is done eating........it was either 6:30 or 9pm were my two choices...... I AINT Happy bout that!! What do you guys think? what kind of reception time do you get??? (but then again, im not paying anything extra, its just a dinner with our cake and champagne, guess im not special enough)

I can understand your frustration with gaining weight and the scale. No matter what all of us say sometimes iT just........."SUX"".....SOMETIMES... BUT we all know we have these days..........and they will pass!! But its OK to feel like that knowing that tomorrow is another day and you wont always feel like that!!

Hey all brides, I only need 6 Raffia fans for my wedding... Anybody have extra lying around they wanna get rid of?? I hate to buy bulk in them if i dont have to, i can only find them online and none in stores in my area. I live in Pennsylvania !! thanks

I agree with Hazels, i ran into this problem myself, people complained about the resort being too cheap and "older" so I switched to a newer more expensive resort, they complained it was too pricey. People will bitch no matter what. do exactly what YOU want and dont let others tell you where to have it.......I had so many people say if i picked a nicer resort, they would come, and guess what?? Those ppl arent coming cuz its too expensive but are the same ppl who didnt want the "older" resort. You just cant make everyone happy. Def. pick the one you love. As far as honeymoon, we are staying at our resort for 7 days. I envy the brides who can do that and STILL go on a honeymoon too......so another big decision for us was our location WAS our honeymoon too. good luck.......

I like set #1, i think they are more modern and elegant....... Altho, its gonna be a tough one for you Go0d luck

we are too............we get married May 5th I know that we go to our County courthouse it costs 75 bucks for the application, we then have 60 days from our certificate to get the license officiated.......we are going to go to our local magistrates office 3 days before we leave, that costs 40bucks.... thats the best way so far that i have found that really doesnt make it feel like we are "getting married" ya know? And no one knows either.... We are gonna go next week and apply for our license.........that way I have that "checked off"

I love my protein drink, its 30G of protein, 3 G fat and 160 calories.......i think its only like 10 oz. I get it at Costco..........its just called Kirkland Chocolate Protein Shake. What takes just as good is the Muscle Milk Light Chocolate which is about the same ingredients.....Give that a try, i really like it. It comes ready to drink, no mixing or powders......i drink after my workout......i have it in my gym bag, i dont drink it every day tho....

My advice, although i am sure others will give you their advice too. LEG LUNGES...........when done properly KILL by thighs and BUTT, I cant walk....... I recently started adding weight when i do my lunges. At my gym I go in the Raquet Ball Court and go from one end to the other end 3 x now with 5 pounds in each hand. I know there are a ton other exercises, but I like the Leg Lunges I feel them in my butt and legs... Keep it up, and switch it up.......... Keep on,keeping on........LOL

Yeah, where can we do this is our hometown?? I was gonna just go to the Magistrates office....cause i dont wanna feel like we are married (does that sound stupid??)

Hey Cole, I believe the other bride answered you, and she is sooooo right!! Yes its more expensive, but I originally picked SANDOS PLAYACAR. loved the WC........but rooms were outdated, it was a super large resort, you have to wear wrist bands, use a towel card, and other things...........it was prob. $800 less per person. But i still think its an awesome resort, i also like GRAND PALLIDUIM but they didnt have my week available, my family has been there and love the jungle atmosphere, but beach was choppy and rooms just OK, but AGAIN, good outweighs the bad........those are my two cheaper resort reccomendations... But SM is fantastic..............in my eyes anyways!!

Pryn, Oh my gosh, i am so very sorry to hear about your situation. What CRAP!!! I get mad at Ceilia alot cuz she is wrong often. There HAS TO BE a way to do this, brides get married there all the time right??? Have you posted out on the GENERAL FORUM, a bride has to be out there that is going thru this also... I dont have anything to ship, I am a NO FRILLS wedding, LOL...just my dress on the plane.......Only 10 ppl including us...

Kiwi, I also live by my food diary. Without it i dont think i would have done so well It really keeps me in check with my food, I use an APP on my droid fone and it has a UPC Scanner which is fantastic... I stay about 1200 - 1500 calories, i make sure to give myself that space so i dont obsess too much. I also went the extra step and bought a BODYBUGG which I wear 24/7 and it tells me how many calories I burn at all times. (even sleeping) I do the gym 6 days a week, usually atleast 30min of cardio and then a body part with heavy weights. My FI helps me! At first i didnt see any changes...... But now its like all the sudden things just started to change overnite, I have been doing this since Jan 3rd. I am down 9 pounds and inches too......, i know weight 125.5 (i use two scales, one at gym one at home, so the 125.5 is the HOME Scale - i shouldnt have done that) We all have to just keep it up and have faith that it is working, if you eat well and keep MOVING things hafta change!! My problem is my lower belly....urgghhh, it wont go anywhere ( i had twins 15 yrs ago)...

I too want to do the Raffia Fans, but dont know where to buy them yet...........so i am still waiting to order those.. Where did you buy them??? I think any ribbon would do..............i will have to make a trip to PatCatan's a craft store here to look for ribbon.... I also bought all my TULLE on ebay for the chairs, maybe give EBay a try. (they dont have any RAFFIA fans reasonable tho ...)

I have a new found love for exercise and i watch my calories now and what i eat.......(Geez a PBJ sand can be like 400cal..Damn who knew??) Anywayz, have been watching since Jan 3rd and def. that part is the hardest for me.....Food selection....WE LOVE to eat out!!..Thats where my 15 pounds came from i think.....so scary how many calories in one meal, enough for 1 whole day and sometimes MORE. YES, I AM NOW LIFTING HEAVER, THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE!! Eating to live......SUX.......i like to Live to EAT...LOL But I am transforming slowing with my attitude, when presented with like French Fries which I luv, I rethink.......oh geez how where those cooked and what value do they have ??..LOL Girls, we are doing it......And as long as we dont expect miracles.........its SOOOOOOOO doable. BTW, what advice to get my lower belly FAT gone???.. My waist is now 21 inches, but my lower belly is stuck (I had twins.....who are 15yrs old now)

Awwwwwwwww, thanks for the clarification..makes sense.....

Me too wedding at 3pm only slot left. You girls ever wonder if the entire time you are on your wedding/honeymoon you will have to dodge other weddings and brides all day long?? Kinda makes me go.............HHmmmm??

KIWI im sorry i am confused.........your wedding day says 11-4-11......but you say your wedding day is in 8 weeks......Is that correct? Just wondering if the 11-4 was a misprint is all?? Jus keeping an eye out......i certainly dont mean to offend you in any way........just noticed..

BodyBugg has been telling me that 45 min. on a treadmill equals about 250-275 calories and that is running half the time at 5.0 speed and 1.0 incline. It takes me 50 min of half running and half fast walking to get to 300 calorie burn. I am on day four of keeping my calorie deficit at atleast 500 per day. And running more at gym and lifting heavier....... I will let you know Wed. morning when I weight and measure myself if this damn thing is CORRECT. PPL keep saying calories IN calories OUT.........i eat clean calories......I will let ya know !!

See that..NO WASTE..LOL Awesome!! I cant believe you got that one on Ebay......Crazy I still cant sell mine......even at 99 Bucks!! You look amazing. (im jealous you dont have to diet........)

Common story here I got so damn made cuz my BFF talked me into picking a much more expensive resort and then backed out !!!! So less people are coming cuz of it!!! AND............not to mention the two weddings we were BOTH in last year......spend thousands of money on.........those two couples promised to be there.....and wouldnt you know it.......THEY CANT AFFORD IT.................OH REALLY AND WE COULD AFFORD TO BE IN YOUR WEDDING (ONE WAS OUT OF TOWN)......... I GUESS THE NUMBERS/MONEY LOOKS SCARIER UPFRONT OH LET ME ADD UP THE COSTS OF THEIR WEDDINGS AND PUT IT ON PAPER IN FRONT OF THEM..................BIG SURPRISE!!! ONE OF THE COUPLES WENT AS FAR TO SAY "I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO SPEND MY MONEY ON"!! Rude, Rude, rude !!!! I dont regret for one sec. doing a beach wedding...... we have 10 ppl including us.... Its all good tho............ I would still do it if NO one came......LOL I wasnt gonna do a AHR reception but honestly I MIGHT do it so I that these people gotta give gifts........LOL..... Terrible huh???

Well FI says ya'll are correct.......light weights to slim.......heavier to definition..... Once i lose the weight i wanna go heavier and have definition........ Well day one with my BODYBUGG........... I burned 652 calories in my sleep........i slept in today.......so thats in 8.5 hours. I will let you know how the rest of my day goes.........and how many calories I ACTUALLY burn at the gym...

Diamond Girl you are kicking ass.... Im super jealous and proud at the same time Keep doing what you are doing !!!!
