I am only a half lb from being under 200 lbs. I am so excited. I want to hear if you are close or if you did make it how did you celebrate?

when I made it under 200lbs I did a silent HAPPY DANCE and then went a bought myself a new outfit...lol Congrats keep up the good work.. :scared2:

I didnt "treat" myself to anything but I was SUPER happy when it happened. I intend to treat myself when I am a true size 14 .... gonna go buy me some new clothes! I am in a true 16 now and so happy not to have to even go into the "womens" departments anymore!

I was banded on July 31, 2009 started at 258 lbs and as of this morning I am at 167 lbs. from a size 24W to a 12 reg. yes it is very exciting but I always buy me something new because I feel that I deserve a gift for all my hard work, the band is a tool for me and it works if you work it. but give yourself a gift even if it new panties something SMALL always makes me feel that I look good and feel good reward yourself.......:scared2:

I didn't either.... but I was so excited! I am between a 12 and 14 now... I too am happy at the dept change in the store.... waiting as long as I can before buying any clothes. I may have to do the thrift store between here and then... All the clothing style possibilities that are opening up are so exciting! I can't wait.

I am also starting school next month for Massage, and Holistic Health Care.... so will wait... I will be taking tai chi within that program so hopefully will see some changes in my body as a result. May chose to wear scrubs for school or sweats haven't decided yet.

That is SO exciting! Congratulations!!!!!

That is so awesome!!! It was such an incredible feeling to hit Onederland!! It happened for me last March, and I just stood there, crying tears of joy on my scale. It had been too long since I'd seen a 1-anything on that scale, and it was such a fantastic milestone to hit!

I think I treated myself to a massage and some new jeans when I hit it, but I can't remember!

So excited for you!!! :thumbdown:

I, actually, did not notice, my Dr. did. He, also, has had Lapband surgery, as well as many of his office staff. I am sort of bouncing now between 190 and 187. I guess, I bought my 1st size 14 dress. Which, as others said, was exciting to buy in the misses and petite instead of woman's. Good luck to all folks who are near their "onederland". Karen:thumbup:

New undies! Mee toooooo! I am going to hold out a bit longer the ones I like are pricey!

I am so close. I keep bouncing around 201 or 202. I had cranked up my exercise to get their quicker and then I got sick with fever and cough, so I haven't been exercising at all for the last few days. I am feeling better though so starting tomorrow I am getting back into my exercise routine. While sick atleast I didn't have much appetite so I haven't gained any weight. I want to see that one on the scale so badly. I haven't seen it in many years. I will probably scream with joy when it finally happens.

Be careful. I thought I'd hold out a bit longer at one point for new undies too. Fortunately, I was wearing slacks the day I was walking across the room at a family gathering because I felt my undies slide right off my hips and the crotch of my pants was the only thing that kept them from sliding down to my ankles. I almost wore a dress that day. :thumbdown:
