Hey everyone! I am approaching ONEDERLAND (199) on the scale! My one year bandaversary is coming up on May 26th and I WANT TO BE IN ONEDERLAND!!!

I thought I would start this thread for those of us who are nearing this wonderful milestone!

I know I haven't been in Onederland since elementary school ! How sad is that?:omg:

This is a thread for supprt, for cheering and a little butt-kicking (if needed). Anyone who would like to post on here, please do so, we need all the support we can get! You can be 5 pounds away or 50 pounds away... it doesn't matter! I'll be checking in at least once a week to update you guys on my current weight. I know that their are bunches of us out there trying to reach this milestone.. so come on guys, lets cheer each other into Onederland!

My weight today is 207! :clap2: I know I can do this, but I have got to kick the chocolate habit!:faint:

Come on peeps, drink that Water and get to moving! We've come soooo far!

Yes, I did a no no. I got my scale down from my closet and got on it. Now I wasn't holding on to the wall or anything and it said:

199.2

I acknowledge that this isn't "official" and I can do such silly things with the scale, but this was after breakfast, working out and a 24 oz bottle of water, so I am hopeful!

Today, I did not weigh again. I get so compulsive, but am holding on to the joy of seeing that scale dip under 200.

I'm in Onederland!!!

:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

The reality is I can do this, if I can do this - anyone out there can. Best wishes and happy holiday to all!

Way to go Dynamo!!!! I am tickled for you !! I know you have worked hard for this, congratuations!

DynamoMini, great job!

Now I on the other hand simply, positively cannot break the 200 lb. barrier...

I have been stuck at 200-201 for the past two weeks and it is driving me crazy! I am so disappointed that this stupid scale refuses to give up the 2 for a 1...I would take 199.9 at this point & be thrilled just to never, ever see that 200 again.

Guess I will just keep plugging along like a good little bandster...

I was so hoping to hit the 50 lb loss mark (5 more lbs.) by my six month bandiversary in one week....but it looks out of the question now.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

HELP!

Thanks for the congrats Jaqui and travelbug!

travelbug - I sometimes think it is better to take our focus off the numbers and just know that if you have portion control, exercise, drink lots of water and make good food choices our bodies will have to give it up. It is excrutiating waiting for the pounds to drop off, like watching a clock to make time go faster. At least that is the way if feels for me. Going to NYC, breaking my daily pattern, thinking about things other than my weight (like how to ride the subway) may have helped me break the barrier more quickly than watching everything I did and ate.

Who's to know? You will get there. It has to happen, you deserve a healthy life.

Travelbug-- I'm sitting in your boat too~ I have been hanging between 201-204 for weeks.. I think that we should focus on what we're eating and weight in a week.. I'll try that. good luck

26 more lbs and I'll be there!

Hello all -

Not even banded yet (07/19) and I'm dreaming about onderland. Actually, I lost about 40 lbs last year and went down to 196. I hadn't seen that in a good 10 years. Don't remember exactly, but I probably ate something really good to celebrate and never saw it again. So, I want to see onderland again, too for more than one day this time.

ok, gang....this morning that darn scale said 200.2! a measly .2 lb is preventing me from reaching the elusive onederland for once and for all....perhaps, i will celebrate my own independence from the 200's tomorrow morning, july 4 if i can get to 199!!! let's hope so!!! will keep you posted....

BUSTING A MOVE HERE!!!! I have finally joined this wonderful onderfull land called onderland! I hit 198 yesterday. Am I dreaming? I just need to keep getting on the scale and rub my eyes more and more! Now I just have to find a way to celebrate without EATING something!

Hey Onederland Warriors! Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone had a great holiday! So sorry I haven't check in lately, life has been a little crazy....

:update: I'm at 192 today, Wahoo!!!

:grouphug:Wow! I can't believe how many of you have joined us in Onederland lately! That is soooo Awesome!:welldone:

:whoo::waytogo:A big congrats to Victoriana and Dynamomini and Sunta!!! Iam so proud of you guys!

Paulax - :wow2: you are a beautiful woman! Keep up the great work, you are looking unbelievable.:clap2::clap2:

:clap2:Travelbug - girl you are soooo close, I know you are gonna hit Onederland any day now! You can do it!:mad:

Clynnc - keep it up sister, you are oh so close!:gluck:

Keep checking in guys! WE ARE DOING IT!

Hi. all of you onderlanders and soon to be onederlanders....I celebrated my own independence from the 200's on 4th of July when I finally hit the 199 mark! WOW! It was great to actually see that my scale could go below 200....these last few days I have been fluctuating up and down a lb. but I am officially in ONEDERLAND never to go back. Thanks for the support and now, on to the next 50 lbs!!! I hope to hit my goal by my year anniversary six months from now....slow and steady as they say. Now, I made a promise to myself that I would exercise once I got below 200, so the pressure is on to get off my butt. I am amazed at how flabby I am (thighs, belly etc)...should have been exercising all along, but better late than never....lets' go ONEDERLANDERS!!

:wow2:Travelbug !!! I'm so proud of you! :hug:

:clap2::clap2:Way to go!!!:clap2::clap2::rockon:

:clap2:WELCOME TO ONEDERLAND! :clap2:

:clap2::clap2:YOU DID IT!!!:clap2::waytogo:

:clap::clap::clap: :success1:

You have lost a lot of weight in a relatively short time.

Be glad!!!!!

Dynamomini, Victoriana and Travelbug -- Congratulations, you made it!!! Great job ladies!! :whoo: Doing the happy dance for ya's!!

I am stuck at 204, have been for a few weeks - bleck! Oh well, I'm closer than I have been in oh, say, 25 years!! I'm considering another small fill, but I'm getting pretty close to being full so I'm not sure yet, will talk to my doc at my appointment next week. Am just plodding along, trying to join you guys in Onderland!

(Travelbug -- I made myself the same promise, if I can just get to 200 I'll get my butt in gear and start exercising every day if it kills me, lol!!)

Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to you ladies later and keep up the great work, you're all inspirations to us Onderland-wannabe's!! :clap2:

Hope everyone is doing good, I am stuck at 193, but I hope it will change soon, it is so strange how we can not lose weight but our body changes , pants getting bigger, bras getting bigger, but no pounds gone. I will take it, don't get me wrong,lol . But it is just strange, anyone else doing this too?
