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!

Gosh Sue Magoo,

Congrats!

You are doing terrific! Great weight loss. Have you been exercising?

Thanks Sue! It's taken me a long time to get here, but it's great! I was banded in July, like you, but see that you have lost a lot more weight than I have...CONGRATS to you! :thumbup: I didn't really feel any different...just proud of myself for finally getting here. GOOD LUCK to you!

Mary Rose:

Sure have been exercising. I really enjoy it now, though it was a chore at the beginning. I walk at least 5 miles per day 6 days per week. On the 7th day I usually still get a couple of miles in.

Been walking my butt, and everything else off!

Thanks.

Sue

WOOHOO! I've wanted to post in this thread for a LONG time now and FINALLY get to! I made it to ONEderland on Friday, weighing in at 198.6!! I had wanted to make it by my birthday which was 3-12, but I was 2 days late, guess I can live with that :cool: Now I'm just 10 pounds shy of being down 100 pounds ..guess that's my next big goal. But being in ONEderland sure feels awesome! My hubby gave me a beautiful ring to mark the occassion!! WOOHOO!!! :mad2:

Hi all!

I'm very excited to say I weighed 209 this morning:thumbup:. Some of you are like, eewwww why is she so excited. I'm excited because I started this journey last April 23rd and I weighed 324. So, I'm down 115 pounds in just under 11 months. I'm hoping to be able to say I'm in Onederland by April 23rd.

See you in Onederland next month. Gotta go walk off dinner.

Sue

EXCITING!! I can't wait until I get there (about 14 lbs to go!). Congratulations to you!

I Made It!!! I am under 200 for the first time in over 8 years!!!

I am 20 lbs under what I weighed on my wedding day 5 1/2 years ago..

I feel GREAT!!!

This Band Had Helped Me Like Myself Again...

Congratulations Everyone!!!

Congrats Shalee!!!

This mornng I was 204!!! I am so close I can taste it. I started an exercise regimen this week and for the first time since banding I started making sure that I get all of my water in, so I expect these 4 pounds to come off pretty soon. When I am under 200 my dh is going to take me out to supper and take me to buy a new outfit (head to toe) to celebrate. I have not been under 200 in over 5 years!!!

Congrats to all of you who have made it!! What an inspiration!!
