TGIF.... LATE WI RESULTS ((LOL)) SORRY
*** LOL ok, so I know it's Saturday afternoon, but it's finally up- I hope you all have a great weekend!!!!*** 
Oh My..... it's Saturday morning and I didn't post a Friday weigh in did I? 
Shame, shame on me!! Well, believe it or not I lost! I didn't believe it @ first. I weighed on my scales 3 times in 3 different rooms of my house and I weighed on the doctors scales @ my 2:00 appointment yesterday and they both showed a loss. My scales said 133.8 and his said 133.4. I'm gonna go with his scales ! 
(HAHAHA)

My scales said 133.8 and his said 133.4. I'm gonna go with his scales ! (HAHAHA) Since I only weigh monthly on his scales they say I've lost 5.1 pounds since last month when I went on the 23rd of March weighing in @ 138.5- but since I weigh weekly on my own home scales I change my weight every Friday on my EP weight loss tracker since it's my "official" weekly WI day. I have another visit with him and that is on March 26th on a Saturday. It may be my last visit, I'm not really sure just yet. I hope it is.
I did lose my water weight I had gained when TOM was here and I am so happy about that. My rings are fitting me like they normally do once again, which is loose and they twist and turn and slide down a little bit. When I get this last 13.4 pounds off, I'm gonna have to go and have my rings sized down a half size. I don't want them sized down a full size, I want to account for future swelling and water retention. My rings are size 7 right now.
So, as you can imagine I'm ecstatic about the loss- naturally, and I plan on trying to lose this last 13.4 pounds in the next 6 weeks. That equals up to about 2 and a quarter pounds a week. Can I do it? Well, I wont know unless I try. My plan is to continue to drink at least 100 oz. of water each day, I have been getting a little over that these past 4 days. I've been drinking around 120 oz. a day so I'm really proud about that!
I've changed the pics in my photo album again. I'm also working on another Kodak Gallery album for you all to look at, it should be done by tomorrow morning and if it is done by then, - then I'll post a link to it.
This coming week I plan on eating 3 cans of tuna each day, a big healthy salad each day and lightly grazing on my raw fruits and veggies as well. I'm going to try my hardest to get at least 2 pounds off a week until I reach goal. I'm going this coming Friday on May 4th and I'm going shopping for roller blades. I was supposed to buy some this month (April), but things didn't go as planned and I am just gonna get a starter pair before I invest any real money in them. I know they can be quite expensive. I'm gonna try and not pay over 60.00 or 70.00 bucks for the starter pair. I've been looking online and they have some close to that price range. I'm really excited about the fact I'm gonna be doing something that looks fun to help me get the rest of this weight off.
I gotta tell you about my NSV (non scale victory) I had yesterday. My cousin's son is engaged and his little fiance is 18, & she is cute as a button. She's pregnant and due in September, they are getting married on May 25th- anyways, I went to my cousins house yesterday evening and we were sitting on her couch talking and her son and his fiance came in from having dinner with her parents. She looked at me and said "My gosh!" How much do you weigh now- about 105 pounds?!" (I 
that little girl !!!) I jumped up off that couch and hugged her and thanked her profusely! 
I laughed and said "no" and told them I was 133. She didn't believe me and I had to go weigh for them, and she just couldn't believe it. That was an awesome feeling! It really made me feel good. I'm glad I have been applying the "tan in a bottle" I've always said having a nice tan will make anyone look 5-10 pounds lighter, depending on how dark you are and how you carry weight in the first place.

I'm glad I have been applying the "tan in a bottle" I've always said having a nice tan will make anyone look 5-10 pounds lighter, depending on how dark you are and how you carry weight in the first place.(( I would not recommend tanning beds, even though they give you the best looking tan, they can cause skin cancer in SOME people- not everyone who tans in them will get cancer but 100% of people who use them DO get skin damage which causes premature wrinkles and who wants to look 50 when you are 40?))
I use to go to the tanning beds all of the time, I don't now since I'm in my mid 30's. I can already see the damage I've done to my skin over the years and I am trying not to add to it. I want Botox for my 36th birthday in August. Just my forehead and in between my eyes. I do NOT want to look plastic or expressionless, I just don't want to see those damn lines I have in my forehead. They mock me when I am looking in the mirror to put on my makeup. I swear they do *LOL*
So I'm once again "on track" with the weight loss. I am 3.6 pounds away from being in the 120's (If I lose 3.6 pounds I'll weigh 129.8)
Do you have any idea how amazing that is for me to type out those numbers? I'm sure a lot of you can understand, it's just almost unbelievable to me. I know that some people can lose weight easier than others, I know that some people think to themselves "Yeah, but she's different from me, she has willpower, or she has a different lifestyle than me" But I promise you, no matter how much money you have, or how little money you have you can lose weight. I don't really have "willpower" I haven't had it for 14 years, why would I suddenly get it over night? It's because I didn't. I just woke up one day and said, I can't live like this any longer, I don't wanna end up blind or sick due to diabetes."
And I started with a single step, and each day I just tried to eat sensible. At first I didn't know what eating sensible was, I had to learn how to eat the right portions, I was eating 3 or 4 times what a "normal" person was eating at each meal. I was hungry all the time when I first started out. But I tried hard each day and after almost 17 months I'm finally at a "normal" healthy weight. I never thought I'd be able to say that in my lifetime. Ever. But it can be done. My staring BMI was 41.8 @ 236 pounds and now it's 23.6 @ my current weight. I'm so proud of that!!
Weekends are fun, but try and stay on track for the most part, it's not a free pass to gorge or binge on food. If you have a "planned cheat" then enjoy it! But keep your head on straight and you will be proud of yourself @ your next weigh in!!
I hope that you ALL have a GREAT weekend!! I'm going to check up on all of you right now!! Check out my EP photos, I've got new ones!!
Keep on rockin'!!
