Ok girls I need some help!!! As you know we haven't picked a date but we are working on that now. So my question is What do you think about Friday Weddings? My venue is cheaper on a Friday but is it more of a hassle for all of our guests (80% are out of town guests)? Is it tacky to have a Friday wedding because of the cost??? Needing advice now!!! Thanks

I'm doing a Friday wedding, it's becoming more common now to do them and I don't think it's tacky at all. Saving money is important when getting married, so do what is best for you two as a couple to achieve the goals you want! 0 -
I thought I'd share my excitement that my fiance and I have tentatively scheduled our wedding for 16 May 2014!
Yayyyyy!0 -

Hi Team! I lost my motivation a little bit last week, which is such a bummer. But I'm getting back on track now!
I wish I was on track with wedding planning, though! The most I can tell anyone is Spring 2014. And everyone keeps asking if we've set a date yet! We got engaged on Christmas, and people were asking within a week if we'd set a date. Do people normally plan that fast? I feel like I'm so behind!0 -
Congrats, Black-Eyed Susans!!
At the halfway point, you’ve lost a total of 70.1 LBS! Considering you are the smallest team, that really IS awesome! Oh- and you're ranked #1 overall, so YAH!
According to your goals, your team has 124.7 LBS to go. It may sound like a lot, but it’s only about 21lbs/week. For a team of 11, that’s around 2lbs per week. Can you each commit to that much per week??! I know each and every one of you can do it.
This may be hard to read, but next to your name, the order is Starting weight (1/6/13); CURRENT WEIGHT; LBS LOST TO DATE; % LOST TO DATE; GOAL WEIGHT; STARTING % TO LOSE; CURRENT % TO LOSE; LBS left to lose; and TARGET LBS per week to lose. I’ll post the spreadsheet tonight so you can read it easier
Oh- and you all are ranked according to percentage lost so far, so congrats to your FIRST HALF WEIGHT LOSS LEADER xstarriexeyezx (Jess)!!

CONGRATS to everyone and keep up the good work. Even if you’re struggling, realize that you’re halfway there and you still have 6 weeks to kick it up a notch and reach your goals!0 -
Where are all the black eyed susans?? Has anyone nailed down a date yet? How are weightloss plans going?0
-
I'm here! We haven't chosen a date yet but we've decided on Spring 2014! So hopefully that means I have plenty of time to plan everything! And plenty of time to lose weight!!!
I stalled a bit this past week....well, to be honest I just didn't hold myself accountable and kind of had a bit of a free for all last week. Luckily when I weighed in I hadn't gained, but I hadn't lost either, so I'm getting back into it for this week!
How is the rest of the team doing?0 -

Good job getting back on track and getting a timeframe in place! My fiance and I are doing spring 2014 too, May 16th to be exact. My weightloss is very very slow. I haven't had much energy to devote to the gym so that isn't helping but 2 other girls at my work and I started a new thing where every hour during our 9 hour work day we do 20 ab exercises and 10 push-up or we do 20 squats and 20 alternating lunges! Hopefully over time it will help out 0 -
I'm still here! Just hadn't been checking the discussion forums much.
I need to figure out my exercise plan - I've been doing 30 day shred here and there but sort of will finish that up by next week, so am back to figuring out what I want to do next.
Our date is May 17 2014, so I figure I will probably be dress shopping late summer - definitely don't want to be embarrassed or stressed out by my weight when I go dress shopping, so even though the wedding seems impossibly far away right now, I need to get a move on! 0 -
I am still here!!! I have been trying the 'eat more to lose more' method and I haven't lost anything but haven't gained either. We will see how it goes, having a hard time figuring out what has been stalling my weight loss and I have an appointment May 11th. I suffer from IBS and have issues with my cycle so trying to balance everything and lose weight has been difficult but I am still working hard.
I can't complain with 16 pounds and 6.5 inches (down a whole size). Logged in to mfp for 60+ days in a row!!!!
Date and Venue are SET! Sunday July 26th, 2014 at the Contemporary and Modern Arts Center in VB! WE can't wait!!!!
How is everyone else doing?0 -
Hello all!
My date and venue is set too, has been since the day after I joined the BES actually! lol 8th November 2013 at low parks museum in Hamilton then onto the Bothwell bridge. I went for November as its a bit cheaper plus you can't rely on a Scottish summer anyway. At least in November you expect the worse and anything other is a bonus!
Glad to see we are all doing well! I lost 2lb this week taking me to 7lb off total since challenge started. I have another stone to go to goal but now I am a third there since January I can see that it IS manageable and we CAN all do it!
Lets do it ladies 0 -
