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 almost can't believe it, I just went under 220 today and now I am ready to join this thread. The last time I was in Onderland was about 16 years ago!

For the first time in a long time that special place is in sight. I love my band!

:grouphug:

Mamato,

Hang in there. You WILL get there. I hate plateaus, but if you keep at it the scales will drop!!

Thanks renewedhope.... I know I'll get there, I just wish it would happen already! I'm envying you big time lately.... you are kicking butt!

I'm 18lbs from onederland...hope to be there by the fall....OMG I can't believe it....it i slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww but consistent.........congratulations to everyone:thumbup:

Congratulations to everyone making it to Onederland. I am also 5 lbs away. I Can't wait. Onederland is my frist goal I set for myself. Everything after that is just a bonus for me. I would love to see 175lbs one day but as long as I am under 200, I am happy.

5...4...3...2...Onederland!!!!!!

I'm working on my onderland goal. The last time I was under 200 I was 20 years old when my oldest son was born. He will be 24 in july. My goal is to be under 200 by my 45th birthday September 15th. This morning my weight was 222 so that means I have to lose 2 pounds a week with no plateaus for that to happen. My highest weight was 315 so I have lost a good bit already.

I am 202.5 right now! So anxious to get to onederland - last week I gained a 1.5 lbs and was up to 206.5 due to be unfilled too much from a too tight fill. Sooo frustrating to go be going in the wrong direction, but have gotten it back down to 202.5 - so close but feels so far!!! My birthday is in 10 days and my goal and supreme birthday wish is to be in onederland for it!!

I am soooo jealous of you guys. My goal right now is to get down to 'Twodorland' and the weight seems to be going back up when it's not staying stagnant. I've gained about 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks so I'm back on Optifast to get past this hurdle. But I will be dancing in the streets if I can get past 300 lbs. Save a spot for me in 'Onederland', I'll get there someday.

You will get there someday! I weighed over 300lbs a year ago and I couldn't imagine being in onederland, it seemed so far away! But here I am today weighing 193lbs. Take it day by day. You can't focus on 100lbs all at once. Try focusing on 10lbs at a time. That worked very well for me. Eventually you'll get there!

Mamato, you're so close!!

Miki, Ann D, Sharona, susansilver, luvinke, cori in wa, scrappy friend, cindyg1212, phowell- good luck and hang in there!!

Just a word of encouragement to all those on their way to Onderland! I know it seems like it will never happen, but it WILL! You really can and you will do it.

I never thought I'd see 199 again, but I crossed that line and if I can do it, I know anyone can. I really thought I'd be the only one this amazing surgery couldn't save, but it did and I'm so proud and grateful every day.

Sometimes the weight loss stalls out and I get so frustrated I could cry. But keep at it, do the best you can and the stall will break. It really will.

I'm so proud of you all. :biggrin2:

Woohoo! down a pound. Only took me 2.5 weeks....

Miki I;m right there with you I weight 202 this morning. I am getting very exctied its like chirstmas morning when I ws a kid. I'll probably scream when I make it and wake up the neighborhood. I always weigh in in the morning after waking up at 5AM.

Almost there. I have decided to tell my DH what my starting weight was after I reach this goal. He thinks I started at 200lbs. yeah right.

Anyway good luck to all and keep up the good work.

I was at 201 this morning! I sooo want to get to onederland! I think I am heading to the gym right now.

Well, my band seems tighter the past 3 days or so and I'm grateful because the scale is going down again. I'm 4 pounds away from onederland and have a personal commitment to do it by July 4th.

Valerie

Almost there!
