    only 25 days to go until our wedding!!!! I'm starting to get so excited, but I am nervous about getting everything done. I am going to be extra careful about logging my food to keep with the program!

    Hope everyone else is doing well with their planning. :bigsmile:

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Well none, I finally logged my actual weight. I only gained 2 pounds after vacation and TOM so I am pretty ok with that.

    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Bought my Wedding Band!!!

    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): I have some really lame bridesmaids that are just totally bumming me out and have me questioning our friendship. sucks!

    4. Any wedding news updates: I got so much done the last week! Invitations received and already sent out, candy for favors picked up, wedding band bought, and we finally registered for gifts!

    5. Weekly wrap up: I want to have another productive week and also continue to eat healthy. The gym of course is the one thing that gets put off when I am dealing with wedding stuff and car issues, so that sucks, but as long as I eat healthy I should be ok!

    Have a great week everyone!!!

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: down 3 lbs on Friday, but I didn't do very well this weekend so I don't want to see the scale again until friday!
    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): my mom who has breast cancer finished her first round of chemo, they did a ct scan and said that she is a super responder and that her mass has shrunk significantly and she should just have 2-3 more rounds of chemo and then they think she'll be done! :)
    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): started my last year of grad school last monday and I'm already stressed with how much I need to do. I feel like there isn't enough time in the day to get all my school stuff done, work, work out, and try to plan the wedding. I'm usually pretty bad at procrastinating so I am trying to stay focused this year!
    4. Any wedding news updates: officially booked our reception venue and got to see it all set up for a wedding. Unfortunately there are two different rooms we could choose from, I loved one but my fiance hated it, so we're going with his choice :/ of course I have a picky groom lol
    5. Weekly wrap up: I have 46 days until the day I go dress shopping for the first time, and 48 until our engagement pictures so I really, want to do well these next few weeks! I cannot afford to go crazy all weekend long eating everything in sight. I just need to stay focused and work hard!

    @bditbobcat that's exciting about your dress and about the rsvps! can't wait till I'm at that point :)

    Hope everyone has a good week!

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I am starting to track this week. Measured & weighed myself since I forgot to last week, and since I'm new.
    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): It ended, LOL!
    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Having issues with my brother... he's kinda selfish
    4. Any wedding news updates: Met with photographer, & caterer last week and picked out groomsmens' tuxedos! Also decided on our honeymoon... St. Lucia!
    5. Weekly wrap up: I didn't exercise really but I was really good with my calories. For the first time in a LONG time I actually stayed within my goal every day. I think I got off the extra couple of pounds that I had gained over the past few weeks, so I feel like I have broken even, and if I can keep up this pace, I'll have a loss for next week! Yay!

    3. Lowlight of the past week: I found out I have a kidney stone =(
    4. Any wedding news updates: Finally set up my online weddingwire.com and liweddings.com account
    5. Weekly wrap up: I'll have to take it easy because of the kidney stone but I'm hoping to at least lose another pound! =)

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 2 lbs. so excited because I didn't do well last weekend and last night I went out for Mexican with my parents so I was pretty pumped to see a loss!
    2. Highlight of the past week: Having today off from school and work :) and getting to spend some time with my parents last night
    3. Lowlight of the past week: attending a two and half hour meeting yesterday to discuss a fundraising event that I'm helping plan and finding out our location double booked us so we have less than a month to find somewhere else to fit 400 people and also having to decide to switch from a half-marathon to a 5k for a race that is in 3 weeks because I haven't been training properly :/
    4. Any wedding news updates: working on finding a dj, the one I wanted is already booked for our date. Also getting the hotel rooms blocked since most of our guests will be coming from out of town
    5. Weekly wrap up: Finished my second week of classes and was fairly productive... although I already seem to be losing motivation this semester. I felt a little tired and sluggish this week so in the coming week I am really going to try to find some energy and have some good workouts and get a lot of stuff done in school and for the wedding. Plus I am really looking forward to this weekend, my fiance and I are going to spend the long weekend with his parents and hopefully do some swimming and boating. Hope to keep my eating under control this weekend!

    hope everyone has an awesome weekend and a good labor day! If you are going to cookouts or anything, stay strong and resist the temptation! Just think wedding dress... :)

    5. Weekly wrap up: I need to get back on track with exercising next week.

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I am not weighing in this week because it's TOM and I don't want to be discouraged, but I took my measurements on Monday and I had lost about .2 to .5 inches from everywhere that I measure :)

Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): My mom is going through chemo and she has been the sickest I've seen her since she's started this week, and also my dad is a type 1 diabetic and his blood sugar has been either in the 400s or the 30s pretty much all week, he eats really healthy and has been to about 10 different doctors and none of them can figure out what's going on. :( so scary. I just wish I could do something to help them

    4. Any wedding news updates: looking for a DJ, asked my fiances little cousin to be our flower girl and she was so excited, she is four and she told me she has a red dress that she can wear, but I told her she might be a little bit bigger next year lol, but then she asked if my fiance and I were going to kiss at the wedding and I said yes and she said I might throw up

    I don't think anyone has. I didn't even realize that this one was for August. I was wondering why no one was posting anything new.

    I made so many friends on the Brides on a Mission thread, that I thought it would be nice to have a place for all of us to go AFTER the wedding.

    I'm trying to get a Newlyweds on a Mission thread going, but there have been no takers so far. If interested, please go here:
