    I agree, planning for me has been difficult as well. I'm in KY and my mom is in TX where the wedding will be. I'm also a full time doctoral student with two jobs...it is hectic.

    we have photographer, hall, dress, bm dresses, favor ideas, save the dates, dj, recept. food, ceremony-done, just finished registering.

    two languages would be really tough!

    just getting a list from my inlaws was a huge task in itself. wedding is in 4 months so we really need to get it into gear. we are looking at 100-150 ppl

    Hi I'm new and I want to join in. I started yesterday and want to lose 20 lbs. I am 5'6 and 194lbs and want to get down to 170 before my wedding which is May 30. I am having a hard time grasping the concept of eating all the calories I burn off at the gym. It sounds so backwards to me. But I am determined and willing to give this my best shot. We'll see!!!!

    Hey, can I join? I am already married, but I had to have a fast wedding because my house came up for sale before we thought, so our belief system told us to get married before we moved in together. I really didn't mind it, but it has been making things really crazy.
    So, I have been married since 8-16-08, but the next wedding is 8-22-09. I want to be down to 160 by June (dress fitting). This next wedding will be the big ceremony. I am all excited. I don't even remember what my dress looks like.
    Here are my stats:

    sw-210
    cw-195
    gw-160

    As you can see, I think I am starting to get the hang of this. One of the major things that I have started to do is really listen to my body. Don't eat if your stomach isn't telling you. Cutting back on all of the junk food and only allowing one can of pop and one chocolate a day is helping a lot too.
    I also have a better scale and I was thrilled to find my new weight was less than I thought it would be. I am also going to be getting back to the gym. It has been really crazy with two children, three cats, one husband who has one full-time job, two bands, and a dj business. Plus, keeping up with the housework. Personally, I like going to the gym because that is where I go to unwind and destress. I take out all of my agrivation on my work out machines. HEE HEE.
    Anyway, that is just a little bit about me.
    Good luck to everyone.

    BTW:

    Receptional Hall: Booked
    Photographer: Booked
    Invitations: Still need to get
    Church: Working on it
    Dress: Bought
    Flowers: Made
    Bridesmaids Dresses: Being made
    Tuxes: His job
    Cake: Friend's making it

    I think that is everything. :smile:

    TTFN.
