Love your pics! It's so nice being over the wedding hump though, I'll be honest, part of me wishes I'd had a cheaper wedding, so I'd have more money for a downpayment now! We didn't know we were goin to be looking for a house so soon after the wedding, but I think we're actually placing an offer on one today! Anyway--it's…

Thanks, Jill! There were lots of other little details (eg. place cards held in corks) that I didn't post, but I really think they were a huge part in the overall feel of the wedding. We just did it little by little and it turned out great. :) Can't wait to see what details you add to your wedding!

Our wedding went great! I really think all the little projects and creations came together in the end. Here's an overview of our whole day! Our photographer was amazing! :) We cut the wine bottles ourselves and built, stained, painted, and stenciled the bean bag toss boards ourselves using our university colors.

Hey Brides! It's good to be back! Between the wedding and honeymoon, I got up from 163 to 173, but I'm already back down to 167. My goal for this cycle is 155. 158 is my lowest weight on this WL journey! We've started marathon training, so if I keep up with that and stay on target, I should be at a better racing weight in…

I'm definitely in! Only 4-6 weeks to go!

I pledge to get back to 158 (-6lbs) by the end of the challenge! I'd love to aim for 8#, but my bachelorette is right in the middle! Had my first dress fitting today--gotta keep on keeping on!

We wanted to go away for two weeks, but have a tight budget, so we're driving to Charleston, SC! We're hoping to spend a day or two exploring the city, then rent a condo on the beach (so we can also save money by cooking in some days) and the a few more days camping in our tent in a local state park (ON the beach)! FH…

I'm doing LLBean monogrammed tote bags with a bottle of wine inside. :) Hopefully the bags will be something they can enjoy and use for years to come!

I'm still here! Just keeping on trucking! I'm so excited to have seen 159.8 on the scale this morning! My lowest weight since starting with WW in 2009 was 158 (last May), so hopefully this time I can get in the 150's solidly and start aiming for the 140's!!! First dress fitting next Tuesday! Here's hoping the dress fits…

I've tried to cut costs by doing things ourselves, though with all my school work, I haven't had time to DIY as many things to cut costs. We had a friend make our invitations and we made all the centerpieces and things. For our rehearsal dinner, we're doing a barbecue instead of a huge dinner party... oh and I got my dress…

I really wanted a dark gray chiffon dress for the girls and couldn't find anything like what i had in mind that wasn't going to be a million dollars from j. crew, so I ended up choosing one off Etsy! It's not quite as dark gray as I wanted, but I really like it! It's got the chiffon I wanted and a strap for my ladies who…

I went with the paper RSVPs because I just fell in love with my madlib idea and thought they'd be a fun keepsake after the wedding. Plus, like tandksmommy, I don't think a majority of my family would've done well with the computer stuff!

Got our first RSVP back! I'm so excited! I'm really happy I went with the mad lib idea and also asked for song recommendations--it's going to be fun to see what everyone else fills out! :)

My weight has crept up the last three weeks. I pledge that this week I will lose at least 1.5# and fully participate in the challenge. Hopefully this will get me out of my funk post dress fitting too tight.

Aww! Don't feel bad. I gained a pound last week and then lost 3.9 this week. It's all about staying with it for the long haul! You can do it! :)

We're doing a classic "I just can't help falling in love with you," but covered by Ingrid Michaelson--one of our favorite singers, and also one of our first big dates. We wanted to make sure to pick a classic so there's a good chance of it still being popular years from now and us accidentally hearing it somewhere and…

Oh Liz, I've totally been there. I actually woke up once and thought I'd gotten married and that somehow it really had gone down the way it was in my dream (i.e. ALL wrong). That said, I just can't wait to for it to be over! Bought some more stuff today, so it's SLOWLY coming together!

Pretty, Jeskya! I ended up ordering ours from GotPrint and can't wait to see them in person! My goal this weekend is to print out the envelopes on the printer--I made a cute template for them!

Thanks for being our fearless leader, Liz! Checked in on the scale today and if things keep going how they are, I should have at least a 2 pound loss to report! Makes gaining 1# last week worth it!

Thanks ladies! I switched my calories from slightly active to sedentary to change a little for the coming week, but other than that, I'm just going to keep on keeping on!

I'm sorry ladies! I'm actually up a pound today! I'm down 3" since last week so I'm trying to focus on that (product of my weight lifting), but I still feel like I've let you down!

Yeah, I think when it comes down to it, I might very well end up at staples! I love Vistaprint and did our Save the Dates there and want to get Thank you postcards as well, but they aren't an option for the Invites, since I want to use off-white paper! Oops!~ You all have such lovely invitations!!! Can't believe it's…

Those are both beautiful! I might have to use the envelope template from that first one to do our envelopes!!! So pretty!

I totally feel you with the $$$! I'm just trying to figure out how to print invitations a friend designed for us and this one company wanted $500!!! JUST TO PRINT THEM!

I have the book too--I just need to get a trainer or someone to coach me through a proper dead lift. I know a few people who've hurt their back doing them and I REALLY want to avoid that!

Here's my dress: It was EXACTLY what'd I'd envisioned--though I really don't love this photo of me in it. I'm still trying to figure out jewelry and the veil--any suggestions?! :) I'm also debating making the sash close int he back vs the bow... but I'm not sure!

Here's mine! :)

1. Name: NIcky 2. Wedding Date: May 11, 2013 3. Home State: Cincinnati, OH 4. Current Weight: 171.3 5. Goal Weight for 12 week cycle: 158 6. Overall Goal Weight: 145

Congrats! Feel free to add me! We're getting married in May and I need to drop the 10# I've put on slowly since buying the dress. OOPS.

Sounds yummy!!!
