I am on my journey to "Onederland". For those that do not know this is weighing in the one hundreds. I have made this journey several times and have been to this land before. Each time I arrive I swear I will never leave again. I have been there with the lap band, weight watchers and too many others to list. I love Onederland especially the further west I get. I can only remember being 26 miles west or 174. I plan to travel far west this time to 140. I am not going to swear the never leave Onederland again but feel I will be able to stay west with my new frame of mind. I will be 60 in December and I am 5'2". I have a great family and job. I must STOP letting food control my life and get healthy. I want to live to be a sassy old broad. Ha. My daughters are taking me to New York for my 60th birthday in December so my goal is to loose 60 lbs by then. I am down 17 this morning.

I expect to arrive in "Onederland " in the next few days. I will announce my arrival.

So happy for you! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! I too am learning to not let food run my life. I am looking at my habits and changing them to the attitude I eat to live, not live to eat. LOL I eat protein first and then some veggies. I hound my adult children to rid the house of carbs like chips and candy which drives them nuts, but they're lucky to be living here. Live changes are hard to make, but lets face it, with that junk in the house we don't stand a chance in hell at succeeding. And my world is about me with them included in every way they can. Sorry for the rant, but congrats !
