Hey ladies - sorry I went MIA after the wedding! Things went great, just got pictures back two weeks ago and they are gorgeous! We had two more weddings in the month after ours (with me being in one and my husband in the other!) so it's just been a bit crazy. Now we're looking forward to our honeymoon at the end of January…

Wow - 12 days until the wedding! :) And only three more days of work (literally - I put in my three week notice and will be starting my new job on Sept 16!) It's been a bit crazy because of that and I'm starting to feel a bit of the stress.... SUPER bad heartburn the past few workdays... Still have a few projects left to…

I second that! :) I had my final fitting last Friday so my dress is now safely back at home and my weight MUST not fluctuate too much lol. My seamstress takes these amazing photos of each of her brides in their finished dresses on a chaise lounge. Once the wedding is over, I can't wait to show them off :)

One of my really good friends (and bridesmaids) just got married a little over a week ago. At my bachelorette party this past weekend, she told everyone that she is on a kick of "not wanting stuff or clutter around their apartment", so she proceeded to tell everyone that she has already returned 80% of their wedding and…

Lol - we're going to do a mini-moon at a small resort along the north shore of Lake Superior so I'd say ours is even less exotic than yours ;) Although we do love it there - beautiful hiking trails and gorgeous views of the lake and wilderness areas! We're taking our actual honeymoon in Jan/Feb and doing back to back…

Soo...on the whole RSVP thing, how long should I wait before directly contacting people to ask for their RSVP response and meal choices? I'm very torn. Our reply date was July 19 - as of today we have 60% of our responses back... I'm still waiting on over 50 RSVPS... Everything else is going peachy though lol :)
-
Lol I had that realization this week too! Ours is 9/7 - I've knocked out almost all of my DIY projects and things seem to be coming together pretty well. Minorly frustrated with my seamstress at the moment but I'm sure it'll work out (I called in to potentially move my fitting appointment to a different day next week. The…

Oh no! Sorry to hear that - if all else fails, you can at least call the missing RSVPs and ask them for an answer. Almost makes it easier in a way, as you can give them a cop-out of "I'm guessing your response was in the fire, but could you let me know if you're coming and your meal choice?" :D Wedding planning is humming…

My votes are for Fage 0% Honey and anything made by Noosa. Someone at the grocery store saw me looking at all the greek yogurt flavors and strongly recommended the Noosa brand to me by saying that it tasted just like cheesecake. Sold!! My favorites are (again) the honey and strawberry rhubarb flavors and they really do…

fyi, I found out from some other devious brides (and verified myself) that even though the groupons have an expiration date, the site apparently doesn't track it and they continue to work!
-
I've had my dress all along (I bought a sample that was almost new but being sold for a ridiculously good price since the style was discontinued randomly) but my first fitting is July 19. It fit me almost perfectly when I bought it but now that I've lost some weight, it'll unfortunately need to be taken in on top and…

I got my running shoes at Joe's New Balance Outlet online. The New Balance Minimus shoes I bought usually sell for $65-85 and I got them as a clearance deal of the day for $30 with free shipping and I love them!

We had a wedding crazy last two weekends but got a lot of things knocked off our to-do list. Invites and RSVP cards are ordered, the guys' formalwear is picked out, the address list is almost final, picked our cake design and flavors, finished the necklaces and earrings I'm making for my girls, almost finished the…

Good luck! I really hope it helps you! I noticed that I was stalled out on weight loss for a long time when I was doing the 1200 calorie thing on MFP like a lot of people are. Not saying it will work for everyone but I went through the calculations on the "In Place of a Road Map" post (it's a post here in the forums -…
-
You can still do it - maybe you just need to tweak your settings? I know that you work out a lot, not sure what your calorie goals are. There are some people who dont' lose weight because they are actually eating too low and not too high. Any chance that's the issue?
-
Nice to see some new faces joining the board - welcome ladies! bburg - I second and third the ladies saying to take your measurements. Lol I would also look up wooshes and stalls online - I don't know how much truth there is to it, so take it for what it's worth, but that may be part of what's happening for you. I would…

Awesome! Glad I could help :)

I've heard a lot of friends had good luck with Vistaprint - you can design your invites exactly how you want them, and VP tends to be pretty cheap. They also run groupons fairly regularly, so that can help too. That's the route we're planning to take :) - Also, you can order a free wedding planner pack from them that…

I use the Nike+iPod transmitter (the little round thing that goes in/on your shoe). It tracks distance while running/walking so it'd be great for your training and you can usually find them for $20 or so. As far as tracking throughout the day, I'm not as good of a resource on that as I don't do it - I've heard the Fuelband…

I'm a techie, so I get a silly kick out of new toys. I've been starting to get into running, so I decided to buy a heart rate monitor last night. I couldn't wait to get up this morning at 5:30 AM to try the stupid thing out! I know, I know - I'm a little bit nuts, but it works. I also run with the Nike+ system and I love…

Newman's Own brand has a few that I really like - the Sesame Ginger is my favorite! You could also try a Light Greek Vinaigrette by Wishbone or any of the light balsamic vinaigrette varieties from Kraft.

I agree - it's frustrating when they don't read accurately. I was curious how I could possibly weigh the same before and after a poo so I took the time to read the manual for my electronic scale (Bowflex, if anyone cares). I was surprised to find out that the scale was only accurate to +/- 1.8 lbs at the 144-190ish (I…

Water with a Crystal Light Raspberry Ice flavor packet

That dive park sounds awesome! What is it called?
-
My wedding date is also set for 9/7/13 :) I'm hoping to lose 10-15 lbs in the next 7 months.
-
I agree with everyone else - you carry your weight very well and those arms are killer! Feel free to friend me - I'm the same height and have a similar weight goal.
-
I'm getting married a week before you :) I'm here for the same reason - did Weight Watchers a few years ago, lost my way down to 142 from a high of 168 but gained 13 lbs back when I started dating my fiance. Now I'd like to get at least back to my starting weight, if not further down. I second the comments from PP's -…

PADI Open Water certified since Fall 2011, planning to do Advanced Open Water Diver this summer. What/where has been your favorite dive so far?
