Glad she found a dress that everyone liked! I thought they were all pretty, but what in the heck do I know (sitting here in my sweatpants, sweatshirt, white socks, and crocs)! LOL!
Keep up the good work on losing weight. We've cut back here, but I'm afraid to get back on that scale. It doesn't like me...
Brenda- Wondering if I would hear from you....tart!!!Hahaaa...
And Yes, MEN Always seem to do much better when loosing weight...it's just not FAIR!!!
Don't forget to stop by!!!!!hughugs
Donna- Hahahahaa....I'm STILL in my housecoat and I Don't think that's going to change for the rest of the day!! Getting ready to pop in the old movie Vibes with Jeff Goldblumn and Cyndi Lauper...cute!
Happy weekend!!hughugs
I think after one hour shopping I would fall down and never get up again. lol.
Yes we need to get some weight off, keep on going
I wouldn't know the least thing about dress shopping since we had all boys..and now grandsons. I'll have to live vicariously through you. Good job on the weight loss...How are you doing it? Just low carb? I don't think I even know what that means..haha..xoxo
The dress is beautiful. Roy and I are on diets. I am starting on Monday and going to a gym and working out. I will see how long that last. lol
By the way, this is Dawn from FB.
Dick- You said it! 20 lbs, here I come!Hahaa...Have a wonderful weekend!
Daniela- All boys Would present a problem!LOL...LoCarb is Easy! You Have to eat and it's GREAT for people with diabetes. Most diabetics can get off their meds if they loose the weight...and they DO! Look up, on the internet, George Stella.com
That's whose diet we follow!
hughugs
Dawn- Thanks Girl! So Glad we've reconnected!!! Have missed you! Enjoy the day sweetie!hughugs
Pretty!! Like I told Crystal, though, they'd both look good in gunny sacks! Such beautiful girls. :)
I don't wanna hear about no diets; you don't need to lose weight!!
So, what r u wearin' to the wedding? :)
WOW! Crystal and Samantha look like daughters not Mum and Daughter!
I just one either of the girls figures!!! Iwill werar any of the dresses...LOL!
Sally-Hahahaaaa...ME?? Pajamas...I told Crys I'd think about That After I've lost my 20lbs...LOL
(((HUG)))
Cupcake- Thanks sweetie! You and me Both! Hence the diet!!Hahaa...for all the Good it'll do...night girl!hughugs
Dress Shopping is difficult! Especially if you have many bridesmaids that are different sizes! It is however, one of the most favorite activities I do with my daughter! Seems she is in ALOT of weddings these days! I think it is the age! Your girls look beautiful!
Looks like a fun day of shopping despite having to go out in the cold.
Congrats on the 4lbs. I wish I had the willpower to diet. I can never stick with it.
The first of my three sons will marry in May. His beautiful wife-to-be was wonderful enough to invite me to join her, her mother, and her maid of honor, last fall to shop for her wedding dress. She figured, with three sons, I might never have the experience. I wrote about it on my blog...forgot the title now...but it was simply a wonderful day and I love her for including me in that special occasion. I thought the wedding would never get here but we are only four months out now.
Laura has asked me to write a poem for the reception so I'm already starting to work on that. I'll probably cry the whole time I try to read it!
I love the pictures...looks like a beautiful dress. It's cold here, too. All I wanna do is stay inside where it's kind of warm.
I liked them all and loved Sam's expressions. I hope you stayed warm today and that headache went away quickly. (((hugs)))
Don't hate us guys too much because we put it on faster too. :(
So glad you found that perfect dress! I've not had the pleasure or pain of doing much dress shopping since I have the 3 boys. We're headed toward wedding #2. I did get to attend the caterer's taste testing yesterday! That was fun.
I so love that you're documenting this and even more love you sharing it with us!
Donna,
Wedding planning and shopping is always fun!! :)
....and-yes- it's a bummer the way men can lose wt. so much quicker than girls! Life is SO UNFAIR,isn't it!!
Keep warm -
(a weird winter all over-must be that Global Warming thing!!)
Hugs))
Junie
I can't wait to start looking fer my next dress! Just kidding, have fun prepping for the wedding!
Aw how fun! I remember trying on dresses for proms and my wedding and stuff and I loved it!
Samantha looks good in anything, I think. As for men and weight loss, you're right, it just isn't fair. I dieted before I started this trip, but since I'm walking so much now that I'm a tourist, I'm taking the view that I don't need to diet at the moment, so I'll just take another sip of beer.....
I remember shopping trips like that with my girls.
Enjoy your day and stay warm!
Hugs,
Donna
