Wellllll I tried on about 5 or 6 dresses yesterday and the first one was the one I bought. I tried on size 16 womens dresses because the last time I was there I couldn't fit into a 16 or an 18. The 16 wouldn't zip and the 18 was too big. I don't have money for alterations so I was stuck. I decided I would try 16 womens which is what I should have tried on last time. The 16 women's was too big. Some of the 16 fit me some did not. BUT I found a corset dress that is a 14 that fit!!!! It doesn't have a huge gap in the back it actually fit. It looks nice. My phone is charging right now so I can't post pictures but I will as soon as I get some pics downloaded on my computer. I am still stalled and stuck at 180 but I think the stall is breaking because I am down a pound from my 181. SOoooo that's good. I'm happy that I could fit myself into a size 14. I know it is because it was a corset but I don't care. She told me that I could gain ten or twenty pounds and it would still fit me and told me that I could loose the same amount and it would still fit me So that means it's about a 14 that fits me in that style dress. I'm right in the middle of where the size fits. I'm so excited I got the dress yesterday. My daughter took a video of me saying yes to the dress. LOL. I don't know if any of you have been to David's Bridal but when a bride ( that sounds so funny to describe me ) finds the dress that they are buying, they close their eyes, make a wish, and ring a bell ( because when a bell rings an angel gets their wings and WE are the angels ) My daughter took a video of this process. I also found a dress for my two daughters as well but we may be renting their dresses instead because their dresses were pretty expensive and we couldn't find one that fit my younger daughter. They were either too big or too small. My older daughter found one but it was $200 and my other brides maid would need MAJOR alterations IF she could find one that fit. She is around 4'9 and 150 lbs. So we are going to Peebles to try renting one for each of them. 

Yesterday I had a protein shake, one and half tacos from taco bell ( i ate the shell ), and I had about a cup of salad from Subway with chicken on it. I think I did good yesterday eating except I didn't get all of my liquids in. I probably on got about 42 oz yesterday. I'm paying for it today cuz I can feel I'm swollen and constipated :(

The salad will last me a few days cuz it's pretty big So I will be eating that today for dinner as well. This week at work we have protein offered each day for lunch so I should be good with that. And as I said I should be able to make the salad last the next couple days. I don't even know if I will be able to fini**** before it goes bad. :D This is my first time attempting lettuce since the surgery. I am one week away from being 6 months out. I hope I break the stall before then. I would like to see a bigger loss at my six month mark.

I am going to be going a week without the gym because the open house is over and I can't afford to pay a month and a half for the gym. SOooo I'm going to have to wait until the 15 until I can go back. BUT I have the money for the membership on the 15th so thats good. Ok well that's my update. I have to go get a shower so I look presentable for work and my youtube video update. It's week 25 since surgery and I have to update. :D
