We usually are early risers on the cruise. Can't stand to miss anything. I also stay up late, can't stand to miss a thing! It's nice to meet you too!

I am afraid there is not a slimming undergarmet they make in this world that would help me!

Becka-you are too much.Honestly, I don't get hung up on that stuff! Just love me for who I am.

we are the same way...early up and late to bed.

Speaking of shapewear What do you guys do to tone thighs & gluts?
I am 39 & holding mother nature back but she is winning!

 

[becka]

We are early up and early to bed so hopefully we will not bother anyone. We went to bed after that second show most nights although on this cruise I imagine that DH and I may take turns after the kids are asleep checking out some of the later night activities.

You will laugh but...my DS has a little 10 foot pool. We go out every day. He splashes and swims and I exercise in the pool. I do crunches, leg lifts, push ups. At first I thought it would be really easy but the water actually adds resistance. I feel like I am at least doing something other than just sitting in a little pool. I am trying to lose the baby belly. It is a slow process!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

I must go and call my travel agent. I will chat later.

 

[Castlepixie]

Nice to chat with you all. Time to leave for the lake. I will try to catch up again this evening. Have a great day everyone!

Hey Castle - I'm right behind you at 38 - best/easiest thing for lower half is walking lunges = ooowweee (but they work!)

Oh - and Patsy - that would have been very clever screen name for a musician!! If it makes you feel better, I can read music and play piano/flute!!

I walk back and forth to the fridge.
Guess that's why I'm having a hard time finding a dress!

 

[MrsMork]

The stuff I've heard of is called Spanx Shapewear and evidently you have to watch where the extra fluff goes. Or, you'll end up looking like a mushroom!

Since we are sharing secrets.... I have outgrown all my slimming undergarments. So, Drhug thinks we need to get busy and lose some weight before the cruise....I think I need to buy bigger slimming undergarments!

I have a better idea. Let's just provide rose colored glasses for everyone else on the cruise! (That includes the photographers)

I bought some Spanx - Target sells a version of it as well, it' actually the same exact thing and made by the creator of Spanx but it's far cheaper, called Assets (Here's an article about it... http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archives/ultimate_guide_to_undergarments/spanx_launches.php)

I've bought both the Spanx brand and the Assets brand and they are the same exact thing. They're very tight but do smooth your shape under clothing.

I do a ton of squats and lunges but after all my body's been through even those aren't toning me as much as I'd like.

Thanks, I'll head to Target this afternoon.

Good thing the guys aren't online!

I found two shirts on Ebay that I really like and I think would work for pirate night but I guess I am just a cheap-o when it comes to this stuff because I hate to spend $40.

Ladies, What do you think of this necklace?

 

[becka]

Also have any of you ladies tried to search on Ebay for women's pirate costumes? There are some "interesting" costumes.

I hate to spend the extra money too. That's why our costumes can do double duty as everyday wear.
I love the two shirts, they should be great!
Where did you find the necklace?

 

[MommyMinnie]

If search is working , search for pirate costume on the main board. There are lots of cute ideas and some links to less expensive pirate costume sources.
