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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
