    Thanks for starting this up again Suzumichan!

    Brides on a Mission: August
    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: gained 6 lovely pound of water weight
    2. Highlight of the past week: I haven't really had time to have a highlight or lowlight. I'm just waaaaaaaay too busy with the wedding coming up, home renos, and getting ready to move in 6 weeks.
    3. Lowlight of the past week: See above
    4. Any wedding news updates: RSVPs are starting to come in (finally!) and it's looking like the final guest list is going to be really skewed in his direction (I'll have around 30 and he'll have around 50) but that's ok. It's still super exciting anyway! :)
    5. Weekly wrap up: Just keep swimming...

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I'm yo-yo-ing since returning from my parents house about a week ago, i think i'm up 1 or 2 pounds. Cutting all alcohol out of my diet would really help! But it's just so nice to have a beverage in summer!

    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Found out I'm having a surprise wedding shower (haha, my mom has a big mouth, still don't know where or when, but i know one is happening), picked up wedding bands - OMG I want to wear them right now!!! i still have 6 months to wait, registered for the bridal shower which was lots of fun, it's like buying things for FREE! We're also moving in 8 days (also a lowlight) but i can't wait to have a back yard for the puppy and a king sized bed, woohoo!!!

    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): my hubby-to-be refused involvement in the choosing of his wedding band and all he would do was find out his size, and of course he got the wrong size. we're still 6 months out from the wedding and he's hoping to lose a bit of weight so he wants to wait until closer to the day and see if it's still snug...gah!!! i don't wait until the last minute, doesn't he know me?! haha, it's only 1/4 of a size too small, but i'm hoping not to have to pay to have it sized. another lowlight, i'm living in a land of rubbermaid tubs!!! we're moving in 8 days, and i hate being so disorganized!!! Oh and the dress, see below!

    4. Any wedding news updates: Had my first bridal gown fitting which was super stressful. I hadn't seen the gown in three months so I was relieved to see I still love it. I'm tall so I didn't even need it hemmed, but I'm having it taken in, and having the bustline altered and having some of the length of the train chopped off, alterations came to $500!!!! OMG not even going to tell my Mom after what she paid for the dress, she'd lose it! Engagement photos this Thursday and I'm nervous about the weather and the FH behaving himself, haha.

    5. Weekly wrap up: I'm stressed out!! Can't wait until post-move. Feels so much better to get organized anew rather than tearing the house apart to pack it all up. We closed the sale and purchase of old home/new home in the beginning of June so we're sooo ready to move at this point.

    Allrighty ladies I went AWOL for a bit.... (see lowlight) but I am back! I went on a couple of vacations (yes i know i am a spoiled brat, hehe!). I gained about 5 lbs...yeah that is what happens when you eat icecream every night. I have to get back on track, the wedding is a little over 2 months away and I really would like to lose about 10 lbs. I definitely need you guys' help! Hope everyone is doing well!

    Brides on a Mission: August
    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: blah, see above. I will honestly record my weight this monday. TOM was here and I was too depressed to input it this monday.

    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Went to SC with sister and bestie. Had so much fun, the rain did spoil a little of our fun, but it was still a great get-away.

    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Just in a funk. Backstory: I dropped off of here early July because my grandfather passed away and ever since then I have just been depressed. Add in this weight gain and I am just generally bummed, BUT I know it is now or never. I have to do this. I have to feel 100% confident on my wedding day.

    4. Any wedding news updates: Hired a travel agent to plan our honeymoon. So exciting! Also started working on favors and might be buying my wedding band tonight.

    5. Weekly wrap up: I want to do this and I have to get myself out of this funk!!!
