Getting so close to ONEDERLAND I could....



Recommended Posts

So I am getting so close to Onederland I can taste it! I am so excited because I literally cannot recall a time in my life that I was under 200 lbs (I'm assuming it was about 6th or 7th grade, but I didn't weigh myself then. I am looking for a way to Celebrate this momentous occasion other than clothes, since I have clothes all the way from a 14-28 and I am currently in a 16, I just don't think I will need any sizes smaller than a 14 19 lbs from now. Any suggestions, I really have worked my booty off for this, and I am not good at rewarding myself with things other than clothes and food, which I no longer use as motivation!!! Onderlander's what did you do for yourself? Or people who aren't there yet, what are you planning to do to celebrate?

I totally feel you @@SoonergirlLayla! :)

Not sure how I'm going to Celebrate though. New handbag maybe? I've been lusting for the Chloe Alice tote. *heartbreaking price though*

Maybe a little trip someplace, or tickets to an event like theater or concert, knowing fitting those seats is NO issue now! A spa day is good, trapeze lesson, personal trainer package? I have decided a massage every 50 pounds is perfect for me. Have fun imagining, and let us know what you decide on!

Oh so exciting!!!

When I hit the Onederland I was dancing around in my bathroom screaming like i just won the lotto (haha just thinking back on this makes me giggle) anyway - I did reward myself with food (i know i know) BUT i have been so strict with what i allow myself to eat... that I promised myself & my husband, that once i hit 199 i wanted to go to our fav pub.. (i have not celebrated any other milestones or have gone out at all for that matter) so this was a big deal for me...

I ordered 2 appetizers - chicken cutlets and creamy parmesan boneless wings... i had a bite of the chicken, spit it right out... then had ONE... boneless wing and well afterwards i felt stuffed, sick & just ticked - it wasn't the same anymore... I should have gone for jewelry LOL... I would do something special for yourself... or buy yourself something that when you wear it, it will remind you of your journey & how far you have come!!! good luck to you!!!

A massage sounds amazing. That may just be the thing I pick!

I have been really strict with my diet as well, and the first thing I thought was, Im going to eat chinese! That's why I started this :) I just knew I had to find some other wsy to Celebrate. I appreciate all of the suggestions! There are so many new things happening and learning about how to deal with them is so exciting, but just a little scary :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
