I posted this in post surgery but I guess it should have gone here. I was just too excited...

I finally did it! I hit the onderland. I have not been under 200 in over 13 years. You should have seen me I had just gotten out of the shower (o.k. well maybe you don't want to see that, lol) and decided what the yeck it's been a couple of days let's weigh and see what it says. I was actually shocked and just stood there. When it finally registered that the scale wasn't broke and not going to move anymore I started crying I was so happy. I got dressed and ran outside to find my husband and it was so funny as soon as he saw me he said "you made it under the 200 mark didn't you" He knows me so well...

Anyways, I wanted to share my story and to thank everyone on here for all the support and advise I have received over the past Year. I think I signed up about 6 months before my surgery and was on here everyday it is great to know you are not the only one out there with gas, your hair falling out and all the loose skin but I would not change it for the world. I feel better than I have in years and I know I've added years to my life with this change.

Thanks again - Everyone

That is so great! I'm so happy for you. I just experienced thru you the joy I wd feel when this happens to me. Congratulations!

Isnt that an amazing feeling!! I hit onederland a couple of weeks before and that is the best thing that happened to me in a loooooong time!

Congrats on your success so far! Keep up the good work!

OMG!!! I am so happy for you. Tears came to my eyes while I read your story. I can't wait to make it to onederland. What a huge accomplishment!!

I'm so very very happy for you and innerme, you are so close and I know it's just right around the corner, and when I hit 199, it will be the lowest I have weighed since 1999. I remember when I went from 319 to 250, I was so darn proud and I gained the weight back and I kept thinking to myself, if I could only get back to 275, I'd be happy, then it was 250 and I gained the weight back up to 330. I made it from 300 to 201 and then back up again in 2006 and since then I haven't been under 250.

199 is going to taste sweeter than anything to me.

That is SUPERCALAFRAGLISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!

I haven't been at onderland since 1989 (I was 19 years old....I am now 42!). I'm a long ways away from it yet (only down 43 lbs, currently at 275 lbs), but I can't wait to join you!

By then, of course, you'll be steady at goal for a LONG time and an old pro at maintenance.

Well done!

I made it from 300 to 201 and then back up again in 2006 and since then I haven't been under 250.

199 is going to taste sweeter than anything to me.

You are certainly WELL under 250 now my friend.....and onderland is just teasingly within your grasp! Keep up the good work......I'm anticipating a happy dance fro you VERY soon !

Congrats on your success so far. That is awesome! Best of luck as you continue your journey.
