    Big Twilight fan right here! When I started reading the first one, at first I didn't see the big deal.. A few days later I picked it up again and ended up pulling an all nighter simply bc i lost track of time and couldn't stop reading! lol.. My fave book is Eclipse. I love hearing about the whole Cullen family and how they each ended up as vamps.. And as far as picking a Team... I think I need to be Team Switzerland b/c as much as I love Edward, I feel like he can be a bit overwhelming, whereas I know if they existed in real life I'd end up picking someone more laid back like Jacob! Either way they're both fantastic to look at haha!

    I'm Team Guy-Who-Almost-Crushed-Bella-With-A-Car. ;)

    I enjoyed the first book, loved the ending of the second book, got bored 1/3 of the way through the third book...and then stopped reading. :laugh: But for the movies, I liked "New Moon" better than "Twilight", and I think that has a lot to do with the changing of directors. Still need to see "Eclipse", though. I find the movies entertaining because I laugh at inappropriate moments - wrong I know - but I do really enjoy seeing the words come off the page and be translated visually onto the silver screen. And the scenery is GOOORRRGEOUS. And I like seeing the cast build out. I wish Evan Rachel Wood had been cast as 'Bella' - I can't stand Kristen Stewart and Catherine Hardwicke had previously worked with Evan on "Thirteen" (along with Nikki Reed), sooooo yeah.

    And while I don't think that Robert Pattinson personifies 'Edward' the way I had envisioned him, I'll let y'all salivate over the fact that I spent a day with him (goodbye hug and all) thanks to my old job. :tongue:

    Good luck, everyone!

    I would love to look like Bella for Breaking Dawn... I fear I will be looking at losing half my bodyweight though... I am sure that is doable in 55 weeks!

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh EDWARD XXXXXXXXXXXXXX I love the Twilight saga. Hence the user name, lol. Team Edward all the way. Jacob is nice too but eye candy. Edward is deeper and a more complex character. Oh if only I was 20yrs younger!!!!!! Haha.

    And would stay 20 years younder!!

    someone came to our halloween party dressed like victoria, and i told them, 'i am so stealing your idea for next year!' they looked really good too, but they had to use a wig because they are blonde - i'm just going to grow my own hair out long. we went up to visit forks, wa (we live in north carolina, so that's pretty far from us) and had the *best* time driving all through the olympic peninsula - it was gorgeous, and we did not want to leave! we're trying to make plans to go back and spend more time there. and la push beach was just amazing - even more beautiful than described in the books! even if it was not twilight related, it was the most beautiful scenery i've even seen - it even trumped greece and the mediterranean, if you can believe that! and, fyi, before we drove to washington state, we stayed in astoria, or for the 25th anniversary of the goonies! it was pretty cool - i got to meet chunk!

    in forks, we ate at the lodge, which had a whole twilight themed menu (i ordered the esme burger). we also visited bella's house, the cullen's house, the hospital, the sporting goods store where mike and bella work, forks high school, and la push, of course! i got my books stamped with from the official twilight store of forks, too, so that was kind of cool. i actually couldn't stand the movies with the exception of eclipse. i was so excited to finally like one of them! but i *love* the books, so i figure the movies kind of come with the territory just to see how everyone looks on screen - but i'm pretty disappointed in their choice to play siobhan from the irish clan - she's supposed to be hugely overweight - the only overweight character in the whole book! - but they are using a smallish actress. maybe not as skinny as the typical hollywood ideal, but too skinny to be siobhan! oh well...what are you going to do? it's hollywood...

    I LOVED the books, movies are ok but I am impressed how well they hit the major spots in the books. Team Edward without a doubt but Jacob is cuter in the movie LOL.

    ditto - love the books, hate the movies. but i'll still be attending the midnight showing of breaking dawn as victoria! i forgot all about this thread - i've lost about 25 more pounds, so i'm about halfway to victoria-dom! i already ordered my 'kiss me i'm irish' t shirt to wear - i'll probably wait to get some more for the costume until the fall, after i've lost even more weight! so excited!

    I think I love those books a little too much. As soon as I finished reading them, I turned around and read 'em again! hahaha I am Team No One because it all works out in the end, right? Unless of course you haven't read the books. The movies are pretty good for what they are, but I find myself getting mad when I watch them because of the little things they changed from the book. I realize they can't include everything, but why change the stuff that they did include?

    I thought New Moon was the movie that stayed most true to the book. I love the movie Twilight just because we get the first glimpse of Edward and all of his sexiness, but thought they got way too many things wrong. And the leg hitch in Eclipse was super hot :)

    I am a twilight fan....Team Edward here....I was hearing rumors they were gonna make Breaking Dawn into two movies, but I didn't know it was finalized. I dont think there is any need for that.

    One nice long movie would have been fine.

    Anyway, goodluck on your weightloss journey

    It will be 2 movies. I figure the first one will end either right before she becomes a vamp or right after she wakes up. I think it should show the whole thing and then have this big suspensful music going, she opens her red eyes and BAM, black screen, TO BE CONTINUED...

    I LOVE the books. I got the first one as a bday gift and had never heard of it and tossed it on my dresser and didn't thin of it again. A few weeks later I was recovering from surgery and figured "why not". A week later I had bought and read all 4. I am on my 6th time through them now....my husband is pretty sure that Bella should have just been eaten in the first book and that would have put an end to things real quick.

    I am totally team Switzerland. I can't decide who is better, but for real life looks I would have to pick Jacob. Yum.

    I cannot stand the movies though. I have seen the first two, won't watch the rest.

    :laugh: We are split in our house TEAM JACOB for me but daughter is Team Edward and even has a life size cut out of "Edward" (she'll kill me for telling this!!) It was bought as a birthday pressy though she didn't buy it herself.

    Haven't read the books yet but I am looking out for them.

    once you read the books you will be team Edward! I have found that team Jacob people really haven't read the books, class act jerk in the books!

    I am sooooo into this! I've made it a goal to get to my goal weight by the time the first Breaking Dawn movie comes out. lol Whenever a new Twilight movies comes out I always wonder to myself "Oh crap...what if Robert Pattinson shows up or something?? I need to look hot!" haha! Good luck ladies!

    By the way, LOVE the Team Victoria-eat-Bella thing! :laugh:

    this rocks that there are so many people on board now! i originally posted this last november - maybe a little too early. we should start up official trackings and charts - all that jazz. let me know whose interested and i'll get a list going. we can do trivia and fun vamp-type stuff - so excited!

    if i *had* to choose team edward or jacob, i'd be team jacob for sure. i've read the books 6 or 7 times at least and am so happy that my mom is *finally* giving them a go! i let her borrow my twilight book that we got stamped in forks, so i've told her i will have to send out the volturi to take care of her if she loses it! :tongue:

    yay for vamps!

    If you love Twilight you should read Vampire Academy, I think it is 10x's better.
