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. :D 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 :)

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. :rolleyes:

Well done!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
