I stepped on the scale this morning and my weight started with a *1* for the first time in more than a decade! I had to stand and stare at it for a moment....the band is such a blessing to me! I can't get over how empowering it is to have control over my choices and be able to have positive results on a consistent basis...:thumbup: I want to say thanks to all of you here who have been a word of encouragement when I've needed it, or have offered the benefit of your experiences to a newbie. I truly could not have made it this far without you :thumbup:

Hurrah! It is a great feeling, isn't it!!:thumbup:

Very happy for you!:thumbup:

Hope to get there sooooooooooooooonnnn myself.

How did you loose your weight? Healthy food, small portions or a specific diet?

Fantastic, I am sure if feels great. Keep up the good work!

I am so happy for you! Wonderland was one of the best days of my life that I have had in YEARS! I hope you had that exact same feeling! Congrats 10x over!

I am at exactly 200 lbs. as of this morning. I go to the doctor tomorrow so maybe it will be 199 :thumbup:.

That is just wonderful!!! :thumbup:. Although I don't know you...I'm very very proud of you. I know how hard it is....the lapband is a tool and you have worked it VERY well.

Congrats Again!!!

Thanks All for your kind words. :thumbup:

In response to the "how"...just small portions, low carb-high Protein..watch the sugars and fats a bit, but really focusing on midnful eating w/some form of movement each day. Its almost embaressing how easy it really has been for me..I haven't even had a fill yet...go figure? Couldn't do it at all before the band, now its all just clicking into place. I hope those of you who mentioned being on the way to wonderland will find the path a smooth one....it really does feel nice to finally get here. :thumbup:

:thumbup:WAY TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!I am getting close too and have not been in wonderland in over ten years either. It's so cool isn't it??:smile:

Congrats! I went into Onederland about 2 mths ago and it was fabulous. The lower you get, the better you'll feel. Again, congrats!
