2 pounds and a few ounces and I will be in the 100's ( what me and my friends call ONEderland lol ) I have been under 200 pounds in the past, but only by 10lbs or so and I always gained it right back with in a few months because I lost the weight taking Adapex and couldnt maintain such a low cal diet when I stopped taking the pills. Anyway it feels good to be this close again, but this time I know I did it the right way eating healthy foods in moderate portions and moving my butt off the couch. I dont have restriction yet, but I know I will soon and this time the weight will stay off.........and keep dropping:thumbup:!!! It has taken lots of will power and my loss seems to be going slower the some others, but I am thrilled and looking forward to my future.

Congrats!!! No restriction and a lot of will power that seems to be the norm around here!!! Great job and can't wait till I can make a post like yours!!!

I'm so jealous! I still have 15 lbs to go to be 199. You should be very proud of yourself! You're doing great!

Marci

That is so awesome!!! Congrats and way to go....

I entered TWOderville a week ago and thinking ONEderland is maybe a year away....I can't wait!!

HUGS and KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!!:thumbup:

Meg

Congrats!!!!!!!! I am about 14 pounds away from 199. I bet you are so excited! And I am excited for you!!!!

Congrats!! I'm so close too, and only a month out :thumbup: Dreading the day the weight-loss slows, but I'm ready for it.

WOW!!!!:tt2:, you are doing fantastic! Keep up the good work, and hopefully, when the will power goes to the wayside, the band will take over.

I hope so too. But even with no fills, eating 3/4 a cup really fills me up! My surgeon said if I keep losing like I am, I won't need a fill. I go to see him June 21. I should (WILL!) be in onederland by then.

i have been stuck in twoterville for three-four months,i had a fill on may 6th, i was 3lbs away from onderland,an on may 24th i hit 199.6ibs.i could not believe it.i know its takes time.it will happen for you.it does go slow congrats on your weight loss.i went through the same thing.so i try not to think about it.

Way to go!!! I was just banded yesterday and weighed in at 216 right before surgery. I have set my ultimate goal at 150 but my first goal is to get that first number to be a ONE. I am so excited for you and can't wait til I can post and say I have made it to ONEderland too! Congrats again! :thumbup:

:tongue:Thank you all so much for the support !!! The last couple of pounds are holding on for dear life, but they can't stick around forever. I see my doctor next week for another fill and I think at that point I will have some pretty good restriction. might not quite hit the "sweet spot" but as long as I am no longer hungry after 1 cup of food or less, then I can do this :cursing: I am learning that I dont need to be "full" after a meal, just not hungry any more. Again this website has been a wealth of information and I am so greatful to have others with my same "issues" to seek advise and support from. Thank you all again

Hi Jill! I'm in th same situation. I was banded on March 24th at 213lbs. I plateaued about 2 weeks post-op and the weight has been coming off very slowly since then. My weight has been lingering between 201-203 for the past month. This week I hit 200.2 pounds! It's so aggravating being so close to 199, but unable to get there on just will power. I have no restriction what-so-ever. I have my second fill on Thursday (I just have 3 CC's in my band), I'm hoping that helps me to reach my 1st goal of onederland. Good luck to you on your journey!
