Wow! You look gorgeous!
Thank you so much...0 -
Jaylee.... I know how you feel about the sweets. What i have started doing is giving myself one chocolate snack a day. Actually most the time I don't even eat it. I really like the Chex Mix treats or someone makes a granola slice with chocolate on bottom. they aren't very high in calories so I just eat it as a snack.
My calorie counts per meal.... 200 bfast.....150 each snack ... 400 lunch ..... 300 dinner
After living overseas for most of my life I learned lunch should be your biggest meal. I typically try to work out before lunch then my body burns most of it away.0 -

4.Style of wedding dress you want/already have (Since this was such a hot topic already last week!): I kinda want a fitted one since i am working so hard to lost this weight, if you want to see here is a link of one that i really like: http://www.davincibridal.com/images/large thumb/8376FM.jpg
I also really like:

Eaglesfan, I really love the second dress. Both of them look almost like a corset that cinches you in. I love the drama of the second one... all of the details are amazing. Did you try either on yet?*curious* I guess it depends what look you're going for... simple or fancy?;-)
Shannon
I haven't tried dresses yet, I am waiting until i lose more weight since my goal is so large and my wedding isn't until 2012. I know that I will know more once I am able to try stuff on. thank you I love the second one a lot too. I will be sure to keep everyone updated if i happen to try on or get a better idea of what I will get.0 -
For those who have already gotten their invatations would you mind sharing the website/place you got them from?
I got mine from David's Bridal when they were having a 20% off invitations sale. It ended up being about $300 for the invites, envelopes, response cards and response card envelopes for 100 invites. Here's a picture (and I can't figure out how to make it smaller so that the whole thing shows... its chopping off the right side):
Probably could have done them myself for cheaper but have too many other things going on right now and just wanted them done :-)0 -
I went to a craft store such as Michaels and used coupons to buy my invitations then i got them printed by a local invitation shop I ended paying around 120ish! U can always print the invites at staples local print shop usually are cheaper! (or a friend who's good at it!) I hope it helps!0
-
PS: When I went to a local print shop (all invitations) she printed on my response cards, invites, envelops wtc for 75! All I said was well Im not willing to pay over 100.00 for it lol.0

1.Weight loss/inches lost: Weigh in is on Friday morning and since that's so far from when these are posted I'll just do my last week numbers... so as of last Friday I lost 2.2 lbs! That was my total loss from before the holidays since this was my first official weigh in since before Christmas.
2.Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): I ordered my wedding favors! Originally we were thinking about doing mini cupcakes but the cost was just getting too high so we ended up doing mini jam and jelly jars from Mrs. Millers Homemade Noodles company. We're going to personalize them with tags that say Thank you for coming and possibly a piece of fabric on top of the jar tied with a ribbon... I'll post pictures when they are done :-)
3.Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): CHOCOLATTEE! I can't stop eating it! I told my FH that if he doesn't take it with him to work tomorrow it's going in the trash. I have NO self control!
4.Style of wedding dress you want/already have (Since this was such a hot topic already last week!): Cosmobella 7387... it's a V-neck with a deep back and soft pick ups in the front. It has a bit of a dropped waist and is rouched in the middle. It's also this crazy light fabric.. one of my biggest concerns was having a dress that was too heavy to enjoy my June wedding!
5.Do you have any wedding money saving ideas to share: Haha I've been doing so bad at this... Everything I thought I would save money on I've ended up blowing my budget but you only get married once right (or that's the way it SHOULD be!) I did go with a venue that does the catering for you and I *think* that it was cheaper that way... And we booked our DJ, photographer and videographer through one company which definitely saved us money!
6.What do you do for a really intense work out: Any Jillian Michael's video is intense enough for me! If I want to make them even harder I pick up my 8 lb weights instead of my 5 lb weights... kkillerr!
7.How did you do with the week 1 challenge (drink at least 8 cups of H2O/day): I think I did pretty well. I'm usually pretty on during the week while I'm at work but then don't do so well on the weekends.
8.Weekly wrap up: All in all it was a good week. Finally got past the 148 mark that I'd been lingering around since before the holidays. Feel like I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things.
And just a side note... I type a lot. My apologies. You should hear me talk :-P0 -

not even close to that good! i had an apple and some grilled onions and peppers in my dinner (but probably not enough to count as a full serving)... I've already decided that today when I get home from work I'm going to munch on carrots instead of chocolate! My personal goal for the rest of this week is to not touch any chocolate! I've been out of control!0 -
I am really struggling this week with exercise! I just keep shying out of it! i am being too lazy and I am getting annoyed with myself. Eating/diet wise we are on track but to actually get my trainers on and do something is realyl hard.
Some tips please! some inspiration! just a big kick up the butt will do!?!?!0 -

Try something different that you haven't done before or in a long time. I find myself board with the same old type of exercise sometimes....and therefore I dont want to work out. Also, my YMCA recently got new machines that have TVs attached to them! I often go just because I can catch some TV time too!
Have you done any group fitness classes before? I find when I do a class I push myself more and I stay the whole class....I dont want to be embarrrased by being the slow person in the group or the one who leaves early.
I would also suggest putting a picture of your dress (or a really bad "fat" picture of yourself) in the kichen. That way you can see your dress and what you have to look forward to and why you should go work out! Good luck!0 -

good job! I am struggling with this one.
I need to go out of my way to eat those veggies sometimes. 0 -

Good job at losing weight during the holidays. I was trying to just maintain and ended up with a 5 lb gain :blushing:0 -

I ordered mine through WeddingPaperDivas.com I waited until they had a coupon and free shipping. I originally would of paid $330 for my invites but I ended up paying $140. I got my invitations, with the folding inner pocket envelopes and response cards. It was a great deal!0 -
I went for a fitness assessment at the YMCA this morning....
Push ups: 19 (average)
Cardio-heart test: very good!!! I was super excited because I know I can do more but I dont always push myself, now I really can!!
Body fat: 38%, under the very poor section! The trainer said that my body is in really good shape, but it just has a layer of fat on it. Once I get rid of the layer (she said to bump up my cardio and stick with my yoga for strength training) I will have a rockin' body! She said that my abs, arms, and thigs are so solid....I felt great! It makes me want to push more and more to see what I have under my fat lol!!!0 -
Wow! You look gorgeous!
Thank you so much...
lol sorry. I didn't mean to sound creepy... I really love your gown.
Don't worry... it's not creepy. It's actually nice to hear people say they like it because I didn't have family there to help me pick it out. My parent's are stationed in Germany so my mom couldn't go.0 -
Hi everyone. I just started MyFitnessPal last Monday (January 3), and love using it through my phone. Would love to add new friends for accountability, and if anyone is in the eastern part of PA, would love to get a group together for group walks/hikes/etc once the weather is nicer!

Are you printing them from home? Or are you having a company print them?
I am thinking about making our wedding invites too.
I purchased the paper cardstock, envelopes, ect. from Staples, but I'm printing them off on my home computer. The invitation set that I bought from Staples has a website where you can get templates.

so I just ordered my wedding favors and I was wondering what other people are doing for wedding favors or if you're doing them? We were originally thinking about doing mini cupcakes made by the same lady as the cake but opted for the easier and much cheaper option of mini jam/jelly jars from Mrs. Miller's Noodles... they were only $1.05 each and we plan to add a tag and a ribbon of some sort to dress them up! what is everyone else doing for favors?0
