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!

I was at 206.6 today - so close to Onederland, but yet so far!!! I just had my first fill on Monday, so I believe that will propel me along! My surgery date was 3/24 so it seemed like a long time from surgery until my first fill date. So far so good after the fill!

I really have no idea how to post or do anything on the computer besides my regular work! Are there instructions anywhere?

Way to go HarleyGirl!!! Onederland was such a huge milestone for me. Way to go!!

I'm a very slow loser but I am ok with that. In the past 2 months I have been on a roll (slow-roll lol). I am closing in on onederland and wanted to join you all. I will be so glad to be under 200 again!

I'm almost there 9 more pounds to go. Can you believe it I lost 19lbs last month. I almost past out at the doctors office yesterday. So hopefully by next month I can report in as a Onederlander.

I am 13 pounds away..it has been slow lately but I am bound and determined to get there by august 1st-I leave for vacation on august 2nd..

Congrats to all you new onederland members. I'm still working on joining you. I haven't been on the scale in a couple of weeks so I'm anxious to know where I stand. I don't eat a lot and I eat pretty healthy so hopefully I'm a couple of pounds closer. I will weigh in this week and let you know how I'm doing. Keep up the good work all of you and for those of you that are striving to get there we will do it together. I'll see you all on the other side of the 2's soon.

Congrats KIM!!! I am just starting on the process and seeing stories like yours and others is so reassuring and positive! I have been over 3 for my adult life and heck I'd be happy getting to "twoterville" LOL!! Back to you...CONGRATS!!!

I did it!! I did it!! I haven't been under 200 lbs since 1996. And even then it was only for a couple weeks and boom, back up I went. This time, it's permanent. Woo Hoo!!

Aubrie, good for you...you and I have been losing weight at about the same pace...glad to see you made it.

I'm still struggling to get below 200, but I'm T-10 and counting!

10 pounds to Onederland and I'll get there if it kills me (well, it won't, but I'll be glad to be there!)

I made it to onederland on June 3! It's been a long time coming but I'm finally there!

Beckymein, you're so close, you can do it!

I'm so close, I can see Onederland over the horizon. I'll get there soon!! Congrats to all of you who have crossed the border. May you never return!

Congratulations to everyone that is close or in WONDERLAND!!! How great. I am getting so excited to join you! I was at 202.4 today. Can you believe it? It has been so long since I have even seen that number. It could make me cry!!!:lol:

I'm almost there too and I. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!!!

I'm hoping that I'll be there by the 4th of July....

Congratulations everybody! I'm almost there I need to lose 5 more pounds and I will be there. I went for my one year check up after being banded and the nurse praticioner gave me some breakfast ideas to help me get these pounds off. I will start eating egg salad and turkey bacon for breakfast tomorrow (breakfast is my hardest meal as it doesn't really interest me). I hope to be in onederland by the 4th of July too. I wish everyone continued success and for those of you on your way to onederland we will be there soon just remember good things come to those who wait. See you all on the other side of the 2's. :ohmy:

I feel like I am NEVER gonna get there. I am stuck at 202 - 203. Every pound lost is such a struggle. I have good restriction, I eat healthy foods, I exercise. Just give me a 199 already! :ohmy:
