Congratulations and Good luck with all the planning! I think me and my SO have done things a little backwards...we are not engaged but I just bought my dress a few weeks ago (they weren't sure how long they were going to be able to order the right size in...plus it gives me a bigger reason to get on track with my weight), we know where and when the wedding is going to be, have most of the guest list figured out and got the invitations from AC Moore already. We just have final details such as colors and flowers and dj and photography. Good Luck to you on your planning and I hope your day is everything you have ever imagined :)

I know it wil lwork out for you!!!

We are thinking of going to the court house to be legally married on our 10th anniversary which is March 6th of next year, and then having a wedding ceremony and party for all our family and friends later that spring. no small wedding for us, I'd rather have everyone and feed them ham sammiches than pare down the list :-p

We have picked May 24th. It’s the day we met back in 2009, so that’s pretty cool. I feel like I have almost everything planned, but nothing done! But we finally started moving. We sent in the site deposit, ordered invitations, the dress, and my shoes. So that’s pretty awesome! It’s nice to start actually doing things, you know?

Small weddings are good. We are aiming for less than 100 people. I think it keeps things more intimate and it defiantly keeps prices down, so that’s good!

Still no dice. :I keep getting this message: NIKEGRL688 has made their SparkPage offline and unavailable to other members.
Any ideas?

Found it! Thanks a million. I was going crazy.


I agree, you can't beat the kind of support found here on SparkPeople. I highly recommend starting your own Spark page and chronicling your weight loss journey. It has helped me immensely. And the positive feedback from other Sparkers is so motivating... I can't even describe it!

Plus, then you can add people as friends and stay connected easier.

Well welcome girl!!!!! I know you will get it on track... Best thing I can tell you and learned from this site is "No matter how bad your day was, you can make it better. Just focus on fixing what you can and make the end of the day a success". I know you can do it. I am glad you are getting onto a better track!

Hi! I'm new to the site too, my work out buddy has been on here for years and she suggested I give it a try. I've been attempting to get myself on a better track for a while and haven't gotten very far - here's to better futures and happy (healthy) marriages!

It is so nice to have the community support and I am so lucky to have found this website!!

To get the ticker...
For the weight loss tickers, go to Community - SparkPages - Edit My Sparkpage. Scroll down to the bottom and you're good to go.

Good luck with everything...

Hi! Great to meet you! It's good to have friends and a support network on this site.
How did you get the counter on your page?? I really want one but I can’t find it anywhere!

Good morning all!!

I am a newbie to the site, second day in!! I am not extremly over weight but do have extra pounds on me for my height plus diabetes runs in the family and I want to get healthy now so I do not have to fight it later!! My mom has type 2 and she is my best friend so I am hoping my better choices and getting healthy encourages her to do the same and fight this.

I was engaged in Oct. (to the love of my life of five years) but we have a huge family so the holidays are the busiest time for us so I am just now starting to plan!! I would love to talk to anyone about anything... Wedding, weight, healthy choices... I live in South Florida but am from Michigan originally. Message me, email me... Nikegrl688@yahoo.com

Good luck to you!!
