DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[pixie dust 112]

Hello Fellow Peeps!
So i had an exciting weekend...I ordered my wedding gown!!!! SO excited about it..it was the first one i tried on and i just adore it! I think it will fit our wedding perfectly and i couldn't be happier about it!! MY mom even cried when i put it on..it was pretty cute, i didn't expect that!
Of course the size they had to order it in was HORRIFYING..but i won't be stuck on the number and I will just hope that when it comes in its A. the right dress/color and B. I am swimming in it!
We also found bridesmaid dresses as well...I can show you those. Here is the link if anyone is interested..its the dress on the left..with straps..and it will be in black. I am going to buy the girls brouches to wear as well in the center of the neckline

How exciting!!! You have to keep us informed of course. I do LOVE weddings! Oh, I wish I was gonna be there taking pictures of you, I bet it will be BEAUTIFUL! And don't worry about the size. I thought mine sounded big too. It came in in January and didn't fit! As in 4-in. gap in the zipper. I started working out and watching what I ate, and it didn't need to be altered by May! It will be fine, and you will look amazing!

We're good today, thanks for thinking about us

Well, ladies, I hate to be a crybaby when others have bigger issues, but today was a carpy day and I need to vent.
DH has chronic pain issues, and he moans and cries out in the night. However, he doesn't want me to sleep in the other room because he misses me. So neither of us gets a good night's sleep, and then he refused to go to church w/me because God's on his poop list. Let me just say, it's a bad day when you have to sit in the crying room with the babies at church, and you don't even have a baby any more.
Then I went to take care of some chores, including taking DD's faulty phone to be shipped by UPS because T-Mobile is too for the good old U.S. postal service. I thought it was my lucky day because there was a UPS store in the same parking lot as the grocery store, but they were closed on Sunday, and they didn't have a flippin' drop box. Gee, do you think the UPS guy ever picks stuff up there? Maybe that would be a good place for a drop box, right? After I grocery shopped, I drove to the address the UPS automated phone line gave me, and it's an office bldg. that looks all closed up, and no drop box outside. I start to leave when I notice a man going inside. I followed him in and the box was inside, in the courtyard. Not so obvious though, you know?
Then there was another side trip where the place was closed and no hours posted, and when I got home and looked it up on the website there's zero helpful information, and I just feel like lying on the floor and throwing a 2-year-old's tantrum.
On the plus side, I dusted off my pedometer and bought a new battery for it. I just read that women who walk 10,000 steps a day lose more weight than women who exercise 1/2 hour a day. Sounds good to me (I'll keep hitting the gym a few times a week, but this gives me a goal for the other days). Also, my eating has been pretty good today. I made a big pot of tomato/zucchini/carot/onion soup. It makes me feel better.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Very excited you found your dress!!!! Was there a link to it? Don't worry about the size of your dress it's usually 4 sizes higher than your normal dress size for example when I got my wedding dress they ordered me a 14 and in a regular store like Macys size 10s were fitting me at the time....Trust me a wedding gown is the ultimate motivation by time it comes in they will have to take it in for sure

did you decide on a honeymoon yet!

Danielle, sorry you had such a rough time of things!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Gina - How exciting!
The bridesmaid dresses are just stunning as well. I love them!
Im sure your dress will be perfect when it arrives - apart from it will be too big and needs altering!

Thanks!! i love the bridesmaid gowns too..i kind of want one!

how exciting! congrats!!!! remember it's easier for a seamstress to take a dress in rather than let it out - so that just gives you something to work for. i love the bridesmaids dress too! very classic.

when i bought my wedding dress it was august and i'm usually at my thinnest at the end of summer. and of course i was younger and much smaller then anyway. to top that off i bought a dress that was VERY snug because i didn't want to have to wear a bra with it - it was strapless and so thick that you wouldn't need one to cover up any headlights or anything. anyway, my first fitting was in january, which is when i'm at my heaviest after the holiday feasts. when i tried on the dress it WOULDN'T ZIP UP!!!! i was freaking out. so i went on a HARDCORE diet and by the time i got married in april, i kept having to tug at the top of the dress because it wasn't staying up very well.

so cute that your mom cried - my roommate cried and he was a guy! he was bored so he came with me and another friend of mine to shop for wedding dresses. and no, he wasn't gay. pretty funny!

heehee..yah i hope not to be tugging on my dress ..that would drive me nuts...but i would much rather have to do that than not have it fit!! I am thinking my first fitting will be june/july

That is exciting. The bridesmaid dress is beautiful! Bet the wedding dress is beautiful too!

Thanks! The cool thing about those dresses is it looks like a solid strap in front BUT the back of the straps turn into 2 little spaghetti straps...it gives it a modern touch

How exciting!!! You have to keep us informed of course. I do LOVE weddings! Oh, I wish I was gonna be there taking pictures of you, I bet it will be BEAUTIFUL! And don't worry about the size. I thought mine sounded big too. It came in in January and didn't fit! As in 4-in. gap in the zipper. I started working out and watching what I ate, and it didn't need to be altered by May! It will be fine, and you will look amazing!

i wish you were there too to take pictures!!! Thanks for the positive words! i am working out like a fiend and seeing results already..so i better keep at it!!!

piglet: You brought back memories. I too picked the first dress I tried on.

awwwww

Hi MA Pigletfan,
My Hubby and I are celebrating 20yrs of marriage in 2010. Not that I want to know how much you are spending but would you be able to PM me on what your travel agent tells you about Hawaii? Like I said I don't want to know what you are spending but I just want to know if there will be discounts ect... I guess what her predictions would be in the future given the economy right now. I have been saving 2yrs now and Hawaii is my dream destination.
If not we plan to travel out east to RI and Mass./Cape Cod! We've been there before a long time ago and just fell in love with the east coast.


Hope everyone has a great week!!

Of course i can i am meeting with her either wed or thurs..i will keep you posted
And i am on the east coast right near cape cod/RI so i can help you there too !

Thats what i am thinking too!!! the 4 seasons looks amazing! We might have a bunch of Starwoods points to use...so that might have something to do with what resort we pick...there are quite a few nice ones there which is great! My question to you is, did you feel like there were alot of people around at your resort? Or did you feel if you wanted just the two of you alone time you could get that there? Greg is afraid that a too big resort would be "unromantic" or something...

So, did you find a photographer yet?

Hawaii sounds good! I want to go there so bad! We're waiting for the DVC resort to open though.

 

[LMO429]

The Four Seasons is a nice size resort..it is by no means huge. When your honeymoon is will be a quiet time of year. (Sept and Oct) those are the slowest months in Hawaii. My husband and I have stayed in some of the best resorts and the Four Seasons in Maui was first class all the way and by far the best. From the second you walk in to the second you leave you are treated like royalty. The staff could not have been nicer or more accomodating. The entire resort has a very calm/romantic feel to it. there were people by the pool every day but I swear you could hear a pin drop it was so quiet and relaxing the only thing you will hear is the ocean waves hitting and the trees blowing in the wind. While you lay by the pool they constantly offer you evian water spritzes and cucumbers for you eyes. The food was delicious!

go on trip advisor they reviews there are great as well. There really is nothing negative about that resort, in every way it was perfect! I wish I could sit here and give you one negative thing about our experience there but I swear I can't

if you would like to see pictures PM me your email ..I took over 300 pictures at the resort alone.

 

[LMO429]

I guess if I had to think of a criticism it would be that it is expensive to stay at the four seasons (and Hawaii for that matter). We were willing to spend the $ and saved for every experience of our honeymoon to be first class so we expected it so we didn't mind that much. but if I had to point out a criticism that would be it...but our attitude was its our honeymoon we are never getting another one so we just went with it

I would do this after DH finally falls asleep

Hey all~

My life is so boring. It's work and exercise; read a bit if I can find the time. It's DD#1's 16th birthday today. I'm not sure I'm ready for 16 yet. Thankfully she's settling down to be a pretty good kid. I wasn't so sure she would since we've had several really rocky years with her. I stayed OP all of last week but my weekend wasn't that great. I had pie on Friday, we took the kids to the movies and out to dinner on Sat (for their birthdays) and Sun an impromptu chicken dinner did me in. I wouldn't feel so bad about the dinner but I have no idea how the stuff was cooked or if any of it was fat-free/low cal. I gained a bit from Fri but it's gone now. I'm still working out everyday. I'm on track to meet my monthly exercise goal!

I have to leave for the gym in a minute so I'll just give generic encouragement......
To everyone, esp those who don't post as often.
to anyone who needs it, I know how hard it is to stay OP when you're struggling in other areas or you aren't seeing much progress
To our students and those working hard to reach their goals
to Gina on the bridesmaid dresses; also those going on vacation...... it's so cold and miserable here, I think a Spring Break is in order!

 

[punkin413]

i weighed myself this morning and i'm up 4 pounds!!!! i'm hoping it's just water weight but that just encourages me to do extremely well the rest of the week.

danielle - hope you're feeling better.

trust me, being a court reporter, i've come to realize that a boring life is a good thing! the less drama, the better.

So, did you find a photographer yet?

Hawaii sounds good! I want to go there so bad! We're waiting for the DVC resort to open though.

Dawn what is that calculation you use again for weight loss. I felt like I wasnt eating enough with the WW points..I want to analyze everything this week using strictly calories on the dailyplate. so I can zone in on what I am doing right or wrong.

I am going to detail a journal of calories in and calories out for this week to see what I am doing right and wrong
