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!

Hey Karen...surprisingly the best thing for losing Water weight for me has actually been to drink more water! I don't know how much water you drink per day but if you are not drinking enough water your body will hold on to whatever it has until you start drinking more. When your body learns that it will get fresh water frequently it will start to use up or release the old water it has been storing.

With all the exercise you are doing your water intake is very important. But, as you know...your cycle will have A LOT to do with how much water you are carrying around too.

I can easily carry 7 lbs just in water weight depending on the time of month or because I've skimped on water for a few days. If I religiously drink my water by getting around 64 oz./day then it comes out for me and I will lose 5-10 pounds from water alone. (You can poison yourself with water though so just stick to a sensible amount like aiming for 64 oz. or so.) I think you'll see a difference in a few days!

THanks for the advice! Now that I think about it I have been skimping on water - I find it hard to drink quickly particularly during the spinning class -- so I am am going to really push the liquids and see if that helps things out a bit. I would love to be under 200 or close by new years (13lbs to go) but I realize that that would be quite a push.

I too am on my way....just 14 lbs. as of this morning...yippee!!!

I finally made Onederland 193!! It kinda caught me by surprised because by the time I weighed I was 196 then a few days later 193.:whoo:

I DID IT!!!! Today 199.5!!!!

I am getting closer. I have 13.5 lbs to go, but I got a 2nd fill on Saturday so I hope that helps.

Wow, Tann, over 200 lbs. lost! Amazing. Congrats! You are an inspiration.

And congrats to linndata, too. ONE-derland is ONE-derful! Good luck to everyone getting close. I'm doing the up-and-down dance right now with all the goodies coming into the house but I'm staying firmly in onederland, so I'm pleased.

We CAN DO THIS!

yea Tann and Lindata!

a little over 5 lbs to go for me!!!

woooo!

good luck to everyone!

wow!! I haven't seen those numbers on my scale for about 6 yrs now.

My highest weight was 232, but in the last six years I have lost over 100 lbs, but never got below 200.(lose 20/ gain 30/ lose 25/gain 25 etc.....)

It's overwhelming to actually see that number, just because I could have done this so many times before but gave up on myself. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I don't have to give up because now I have help. I personally will not be weighing in for the next month just so I can be darn sure that next time I do I will still be under 200.

Good luck to you all.

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Tann, Lindata, mrsking!!! CONGRATS!

I keep bouncing from 205-209............... I'm HOPING for a really sweet christmas present.. ONEderland

Hi purplegirl, from looking at your current weight loss, I think you are right on track to accomplish your goal of onederland by year end. Keep up the great work!

thank, i needed a little confidence boost

I'm getting there and I'm determined to do it by next weekend. As of this morning, I was 204. I have already purchased my "under 200" reward and I can't wait to use it. (I got a COACH purse as my reward). Wish me luck!!!:rockon:

ugs 211 now - need to make 12 more to make it but new years! or 11.25!

I'm between 205 and 207.

I know I will make it by christmas!

Wish me luck!
