I am officially in One-derland !!

I have been flirting around 200 lbs. for 3-4 days, and have been at 199 for the last 2 days straight.

My First Goal reached!

My 2nd goal is to loose an additional 10 lbs. This will put me in the "Over-Weight" class. Where else can someone get excited by being over-weight but here, having passed from "Morbidly Obese" to "Obese" to Over-weight ?

My 3rd goal will be to get my BMI into the "Normal" range.

The biggest compliment I have received thus far: I was at a business conference where I ran into people in the business I have not seen in over a year in some cases. One person exclaimed for all to hear "You're remarkable! The older you get, the younger and better looking you get! It's supposed to work the other way around" (I'm 60 years old)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! First of all, I can't wait to hit Onederland, second of all, you're looking younger than ever - that's awesome!!! I can't wait to join you in about 24 pounds... Keep up the great work!!!

That's awesome, Congrats!! I can't wait to say the same.

Congrats!! What a great compliment! Compliments from our closest friends and family are nice but sometimes I think they are just trying to be supportive and make me feel better. When you get one from a casual acquaintances you know really mean it!

Oh My Goodness, How Wonderful to be in Onederland!

That is such a great accomplishment and I hope to be there soon. I got about 100 more pounds to lose until I get there, but with diligence we all can reach our goals.

Right now I am considered Morbily Obese, and you have gone past that, to Overweight. That is a VICTORY in itself. Next you will be Better than Normal.

Good Luck to you!
