I Have Arrived In Onederland!

MyFitnessPal has been promising me that in 5 weeks I would weigh below 200 pounds since September.

It was not accurate. Initially, I thought I would get below 200 before Halloween, but it didn't happen. Then, I thought it would happen before Thanksgiving, but it didn't happen either. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen before Christmas.

I was hovering just above Onederland. My scale kept saying things like 200.4 and 200.6 and even the very cruel 200.0, but it was not showing anything that started with a 1 until today. :)

I had started telling myself that I was very happy with losing 55 pounds, and I felt great and even if I never lose any more, I am happier than I was 55 pounds ago.

I have also started thinking that I don't care if I ever reach my goal of 140 pounds. I am thinking that anything below 180 is going to be gravy for me. But I don't want to change my ticker yet.

Plus, I have finally gotten below 200. :)

It wouldn't have happened without exercising.

  • Congrats, I just got there too! My starting weight was just a bit higher than yours and my surgery was the day after, so you and I are pretty much on the same track. I attribute all my early loss
