    @kalebsmama07: You look great!!!! I definitely don't think it is too short. You totally rock that look by the way. Are you wearing your hair up or down? Jewelry?



    thanks...as i was alittle unsure of the shortness and heels....no idea with the hair any suggestions....???? and jewelery all set i have a rhinestone on my shoe that im matching for jewelery as i hear shoes should match jewelery...so its white gold im goin with and diamonds...=) and just curiouse stupid question but what type of underwear should i wear ??????cuz never do i wear a dress

    hmmm underwear... I would just wear skin color boy shorts or hipsters, but I am a bit conservative when it comes to short dresses and the possibility of seeing the goods. hehe! Hope this helps!

    Welcome to the newbies!! :) Glad to have you!

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: nada zip nothing :( so sad.
    2. Highlight of the past week: an extra day off work!! :)
    3. Lowlight of the past week : frustration with no loss :(
    4. What are you doing for a bachelorette party: n/a
    5. Any wedding news updates: n/a
    6. What do you eat for an afternoon snack: usually popcorn (100 cal mini bags) or grapes
    7. How did you handle the Easter holiday: Okkkk,,, sunday I was wayyy over and still over on Monday. Friday and Saturday I was under. Back to the grind this week :))
    8. How did you do with the week 16 challenge (Drinking water): Great! Getting much better. goal this week is min. 12 cups a day
    9. Weekly wrap up: Not a bad week but I am getting frustrated not seeing the loss come quicker. :(( I realyl want to get back to the 160s before summer. That would put me at about the half way point and would also make all my summer close fit better ( don't really want to buy any more "big" summer clothes. not worth it as i keep losing weight. Set some goals for this week, hoping it will help:

    Goals for the week:
    --Tues-Sat, I want to bike/jog/run/elliptical 15 miles. (and stick to min. 2-3 weekday workouts and 1 long weekend workout. In this I would like to inlude the full 5k distance at least once)
    --NO POP
    --12 cups of water daily
    --under on cals daily
    --at/close to sodium goal
    --spreading my cals throughout the day

    I'd like to join in this thread but I'm a tad bit overwhelmed and confused :-) can someone let me know what I need to do? some of the posts don't make a lot of sense :blushing:

    :-) I'm a B2B, getting married 8th April 2012... but I want to lose weight for good not just for the wedding - I'm sick and tied of every summer coming around and feeling sorry for myself because I don't look nice in summer clothes or because I'm not healthy enough to take part in cycling and wot not...

    Look forward to hearing from you :smile:

    Brides on a Mission: week 16
    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I went to the Dells and gained 2+ lbs but I am already down since yesterday (I am thinking its a lot of water weight,) but I didnt count it this week. Is that cheating? lol

    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): I went to the Dells with my fiance and had a great relaxing time together.

    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Nothing really, maybe my Oreo binge...I had 6 on thursday night and 7 Friday for lunch :blushing:

    4. What are you doing for a bachelorette party: I have no clue yet!

    5. Any wedding news updates: Thinking about getting a wedding planner....

    6. What do you eat for an afternoon snack: cheese/crackers, fruit, yogurt

    7. How did you handle the Easter holiday: Um....portion control was rather good but choice were rather bad. I didn't eat too much but more then I noramlly do and I felt so blah alll night long

    8. How did you do with the week 16 challenge (Drinking water): Good!

    9. Weekly wrap up: Just still busy studying for my nursing school exit exam coming up in 3 weeks. Getting nervous and I hope I dont gain stress weight. I am going to workout extra this week and really stay on track with my eating to make up for the holiday, my oreo binge, and Dells trip.
