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 weighed 200.1 this morning! I am sooooo hoping that I will be in Onederland tomorrow morning! I can hardly wait!:thumbup:

I crossed over into onderland! And I mean a few pounds into onederland! I just can't believe it! I have weighed myself three times this morning to see if it is really true. I kept thinking- is this battery low on the scale or something?And it said the same thing every time! I am finding it hard to even believe it can be true. I am not feeling all joyous crazy yet- I am still too in shock!!!!!:thumbup:

congratulations!!! you've worked hard now enjoy....before you know it you'll be down another 50 lbs!!! I can't wait.....

Sharon- thank so much for the congrats you sent my way. It really made my day to read them! :thumbs_up:

Way to go Carrott!!! Such a huge milestone! ENJOY!!

Wow renewedhope- I see you were banded the same month as me and have lost 76 pounds. I have only lost 50. Please share how you have lost so much so quickly- what kind of exercise/how much, nutrition?

Well it seemed like it took FOREVER, but I finally made it! YAY! 199 feels every bit as wonderful as I thought it would!

WAY TO GO MAMATO!!!!!!!!

Carrot, I typically stick with low carb. I know exercise is very important. It is an area I need to be more consistent in. Sometimes I am great and sometimes I'm not. Today I am starting a couch to 5k to get back on track. Here's the deal. I am not perfect. I am not even always consistant, but my band won't let me do nothing and I try to make good choices each day. If one day I don't then I just start new tommorow. I have good restriction and that helps a ton.

I don't do anything super amazing. You are doing great as well. You should be very proud of yourself. Just keep doing and you will get there.

Congrats Carrot!

Congrats Mamato! You did it!

Congrats to all of you who have made it to Onederland, and also to those of you who are almost there.

It's really a much more comfortable place to be.

Congrats you new Onederlanders!! I hope to be joining you real soon. Save me a place over there!!

I am almost there, any encouragment would be great about now...

You can do it! I never thought I would get there, and just barely crossed over into onderland myself. It is a wonderful feeling, and I don't ever want to leave this wonderful onederland again!

I was so close I could taste it, and then PMS kicked in and I gained 10lbs over night. :biggrin:

I know its just Water weight but to get that close and then step on the scale and see that huge number re-appear. I about fell out.

With the PMS I have been eating like a pig, anything and everything, of course samller portions but chocolate and ice cream have been my friends. :Banane30: Hopefully in a couple of days when this is over I can go back to normal.

I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for another fill, I might have to get one.
