Wow, I'm surprised that Disney allowed them to go topless. I know a lot of European girls (Brits too) like to go topless, but knowing how Disney is, I'd have thought that they may want everyone dressed more appropriately on the ship

Hey guys,
My good friend is a large woman and she wears a tankini and i must say it is not a pretty site. I commend her for the self confidence to wear what she wants and think she looks good but sorry to say it doesn't. Thank god she doesn't know i chat on here or she would kill me..

They were topless girls--I'd say the oldest I saw was about 12 at the Mickey Pool, but I didn't really hang out at the adult pool so I'm not sure if there were any topless women. I guess I could ask DH is he happened to have seen any with his eagle eyes. I wasn't really looking for them, but he may have just happened to have noticed (and um, not told me for some reason).

DS10 did notice one very large woman that had bikinis on each day and sarcastically wanted to know if her butt sucked up the bottom of her suit. I almost wish I'd taken a picture of her, but I try very hard not to mention weight in any way to the boys and make sure they never use the "f" (fat) word. DS6 is only 42 pounds and has kids his age/size on wrestling whose parents actually have them cut weight. I think it's ridiculous not to mention unhealthy.

I do not eat seafood at all - can't stand the smell of it!! GROSS!!! I give you credit for making it for your family even though you don't eat it - I won't even open up a can of tuna over here!!

Some of the WW meals aren't horrible - I'll usually pull one out of the freezer when DH is working at night, I'll eat that, and the kids will have some kind of frozen pizza or something....

Laurie < -- still hasn't broken the seal on the exercise video!

WOO HOOO!! I had to share - we got opening day tickets!! SO excited, remember I am in Philly country here - and opening day is Mets/Phillies - so, we NEED to go and watch them WIN! I hope!! We had to buy a 6 pack of tickets in order to get the opening day tix -

The end of last season was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially for us being down here!!!!

I like the ice cream varieties of the WW desserts - the ice cream bar w/the cookie crumbs... ya know, no WONDER I am not losing weight, all I talk about is food, then I go eat it - it might be low fat, low points, whatever, but I KEEP EATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I would love to go see opening day (and you know this will be a great game...revenge hopefully) I was thinking of buying the 6 pack too but DH's coworker has season tickets with great seats so DH would rather just buy some games from him. I really also want to try for Billy Joel at Shea tickets that go on sale Saturday!
