12 lbs a months is EXCELLENT! :cheer:

it's been slow going for me- the past month I lost 5.25 and the month before that was only 1 lb. but every lb is 1 more lb!

I'm doing the programs Sunday night after we meet with our pastor and I think that's about all I have left to do! only 31 days left- so I hope I didn't forget anything!
My MOH and BM are coming to curves with me the friday before- I figured we'd go get our nails done- I already made an appointment for us at 10 am and then we'd go workout and then go to lunch someplace nice before the rehearsal that night.

I hope you find a good florist! Our's is Chris' brother and Sister in law and she took down what I wanted. she was like "what do you want?" and I'm not a flower girl- I didn't know how many in a bouquet- what I wanted for corsages for the moms and grandmothers... it was like she was rushing me- I thought she'd walk me through it- "this is what we normally do.. " sorta thing. oh well, she'll be family so I can't keep on...

Make sure you post your results!

wow- excellent job! how many inches have you lost total now? the clothes must be feeling a lot better!

(and 171 this AM as you predicted... wanta tell me 170 for tomorrow? :lol: that should get me to 175 with clothes on- my wedding goal!)

Jenn- congrats on the 180s! doesn't it feel good? what are you down to now?

Chris and I went honeymoon shopping last friday and found a couple of cute skorts that I liked. brought in a size 14 and a size 12 because I wanted to see how much further for a size 12. I tried it on first and it fits! and looks good too! bought another bikini too. going crazy on bikinis now after I bought my first one Jan 1st week. I love showing off my body and especially the developing 6 pack! :lol:

got my dress realtered last night. Lady was kinda mad at me for losing more weight and making her fix the dress again, but oh well. It'll be ready feb 25th. She was mad that it's so close- it's not my fault- I called you last week and asked if I could come in. You could've squeezed me in then. oh well! she said this time she's going to take in the zipper. Last time she took in the sides and said that I'd lose a lot of the beads if she took in the sides again... so she's going to take in the back this time. The dress was a size 16- so making it a size 12 (or less because I'm smaller on top where it's fitted) of course it's a pain. She had an attitude about my slip too. I bought a size 16 slip and I asked her if I could just trade- for a smaller one- it's only been worn twice for the fittings, she was going to charge me again!! said keep the old one then and deal! I'm not paying for another slip when there's nothing wrong with this one! but she gave in and gave me smaller one. before I left.

I'm finishing our programs today and going to the printer at lunch time. I'm so excited! That's pretty much the last thing to do.

I think tonight I'm going to go through everything and put everything in trashbags- bring to reception, bring to rehearsal... there's no way I can remember everything. we'll get the reception and not have our cake knife! :lol:

hope you're having a great day!

Jenn- I love callas- they're so pretty!

weight fluctuates- for me too- I went up to 175 over the weekend. back to 173 today. just keep on doing it and you'll make it stick!

I always had tankinis or 1 pieces. and I thought I'd try one when we were up visiting my fam for the holidays. I had to return a sweater grammie gave me, so I bought a bikini. I love it! can't wait to wear it! we're going to Bahamas so defintiely have time to wear it!

I have "thunder" thighs too! They don't make such a loud "boom" now though. :lol: since Curves in June, I lost 17.5 inches off my thighs (that's for 2 thighs, so like 8.75 inches off 1 thigh). Do you have the machine that you spread your legs apart and back and forth? supposed to tone the inner and outer thighs... that's what's doing it for me I think.

great deal about the JP, and the flowers- you'll be able to save them!

those are my flowers- without that big wrap- I'm just having it wrapped with a purple ribbon.

My thighs were 31.75" when I started! so now at 23" that has made a huge difference in pant sizes.

I can't stand having film not developed. As soon as I finish the roll- I take it to get developed and usually 1 hour at that! :lol: so won't be long until I have wedding pics back (from my camera, I know the photographer doesn't work that quick) :(

Yeah, my thighs are the only reason I can't get into different pants... It really stinks! I'd love to have 25" thighs even... that would be great! Lately I feel like I'm getting bigger and bigger (I know it's in my head mostly but I swear I look bloated) :p

This time it will be different with the pictures though because you'll be soaking up the sun in the Bahamas, so you'll have to wait a little while ;)

So do you have all the details settled now? what are you doing for seating cards? are you going to have to make them yourself? Just curious.

ahhh seating cards! I refuse to do seating cards- we're letting people sit where they want (much to my mother's dismay :lol: she hates it!) I didn't want that headache- it's only 63 people and we're having rectangle tables shaped in a "u" with us in the middle so it's not like one table there'll be 15 and 1 table there'll be 2 or something...

At the reception In June in Maine- we have to do seating arrangements- my mom's paying for that one.... so I told her I was going to do a big posterboard with everyone's last name, first name and table number- told her I'd do it nice- put it in a frame or something- it wouldn't be tacky, and she agreed to that.

I took our programs to the printer at lunch- $71 for 100- I wanted extras because the family that can't come down- I still want to send them one and some extras for us...

somedays I notice I'm more "jiggly" than others in my thighs- I thought it was just in my head too... but now, hum.... :lol:

wasn't it a pain to decide who to sit with who? my mom pretty much took care of that for the reception up there- I said I'm not doing seating arrangements, you want 'em, you do them... so she did :lol:

My mom went crazy there for a while during the planning- she threw me a bridal shower and it was purple everywhere! purple table cloth, purple napkins, purple frosting on the cake, purple plates, purple forks and spoons.. :lol: didn't help that her fav color is purple. she's loving it!

she's making me a scrapbook and giving it to me for the wedding- she's not the crafty mom by any means, but one of her girlfriends that does all the scrapbooking took her to a class and she's gone crazy!

she wants a balloon arch at the reception- I think she's having fun because my mom and dad never had a "real" wedding (it was in my grandparents backyard with not many people and my mom just wore a plain white dress- not like a wedding dress or anything) and then they were divorced and all her others (2) just got married at the courthouse. so this is "her" wedding...
