Countdown to Onederland!

[maryrose 2]

Hi Melly,

202 is the new 200! lol... you are close enough! I think we are concentrating on that exact 200 mark. You could possibly weigh less on another scale!

What if we reach 200 and the next day were are 201? what a thought.

Just give youself a break. You will get there. You could have some Fluid build up. A lot of the posters here say they can have a 3, 4, 5 lb. variation at times. :thumbup:

You sould like you are doing everything just perfect.

Mel, have you tried mapping your weight loss to your monthly cycle? I find that mine is enormously influenced by where I am in the month. I retain Water like anything in the week leading up to my period and nothing I do will show a loss on the scale - usually shows a gain! Then on the day after I finish, all the water drops away and I lose anything up to 2kg (4.5lb) overnight! If I've not really gained or lost anything, the scales will usually show a 2lb gain then a 2lb loss in this time, leaving me back where I started. If I really have lost fat, the scales will simply stall at this time (or maybe a 1lb gain) and then show 4lb loss all at once. It took me ages to get used to this cycle...

Hi Everyone! I wanted to post to give you all a pep talk! In January I thought I was never going to make it to Onderland! I was stalled around 205 for weeks!

Now in May I am down to around 185!

Keep moving!!

You guys can do it!!

Thanks for the support!

Yes, Fanny, I am sensitive to weight gain around my cycle which is due next week. I also started a new BC pill 3 weeks ago and I've been spotting off and on because of it so maybe all that is affecting me. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and maybe I'll just wake up one day and be 199. That would be nice!!

The scale finally started moving for me again! YAY! I'm at 201 today. It's so close now, I can taste it. I'm hoping I'll wake up and be there tomorrow but I know it might take a little longer than that.

How's it going for you, Mary?

Anyone else getting close to onderland?

Today is my one year anniversary and I am 4 pounds away from onederland. :cursing: Oh I can see it and it looks sooooo good! I am not even disappointed that I didn't make my goal to be in onederland by one year because my Band has been so faithful and good to me that I know that I will make it soon. ( after all its just a number) I was 272 pounds a year ago and had given up! It has been a great journey and I look forward to the next year! Any newbies out there who is wondering if the band works I will say to you " you betcha it works"!!:cursing:

I'm soooo close! only 3lbs away! and I'm just over 6 months out. I can't wait to finally see the scale say 199

[anabeni 0]

I'm at almost 6 months out, I've lost 39 lbs and I'm stuck at 216! Arghh...any words of encouragement? I can smell Onederland but can't quite see it yet...

I am in the same boat as you anabeni. I'm at 201-204 on any given day. I'm having a hard time with taking small bites and food gets stuck like once a week. I'm scared to get a fill because of the feed back.
