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!

Okay, I've made a challenge to myself and with some friends in the chat. I'll be in One-derland by Christmas!!

I CAN DO IT!!!!!!

You can do it Irene, I know you can!

I know that everyone says it, but if I can do it...anyone can!!!! I am so glad that this plateau is done!!! I can't believe it. Every time I step on the scale my heart jumps when I see the numbers going down instead of up...Thank you to everyone for encouragement and support!!!

I made the same challenge to myself. I am weighing in at 217 right now so I have a bit to go. I just hope I stop hitting plateaus!

Oh my... I am getting close enough to dream of this. From 275lb, I am now only 8lb away from Onederland. If I stick to the rate of 8lb a month, that means I can make it for my birthday on 24th September! Wow, now won't THAT be an awesome birthday present?

Poop! My birthday is tomorrow and I am working on site so I won't be able to weigh myself on my "official" scales, but I was 205 yesterday before I flew up here. So a month after this post, I've gone down a whopping 3lb :redface:

Happy Birthday Fanny!

and celebrate a 3 lb loss...I would SOOOO love to see the scale move. Almost a month, and no change...

You can do it Irene, I know you can!

Thank you so much Lana!! Long time no see! How ya been girl?

Anyway.. I'm sure trying.. :smile2:

I hit onderland this week. I had my surgery April 28th and I am now 198.5. 71 pounds gone...40 to go (60 if I really get where I want). Woo hoo.

I made it!! I made it!! I made it!! YAY!!!

Congrats Fanny, I had forgotten about this thread, until I got your post via email.

I guess technically I made it too. Iv been seeing glimpses of the needle just under the 200 mark off and on for the last week, but would like to see my weight constantly under 200 before I claim it, but finally, Im seeing it too :wink2:

Way to go on hitting wonderland ladies! I can't wait till I get there!

I had to search all over to find this thread. But I made up my mind, when I finally got to Onederland, I would officially post here! AND here I AM!!!! I did a five day pouch test diet last week and dropped to 198. I went up one pound due to TOM, but that still means I'm a member here!!

I never thought I'd make it. I'd say the words but I think in the back of my mind I just thought I'd lost enough and I should be happy for where I'm at, compared to where I was!!

I have a new attitude and motivation. If I can do it, anyone can. This probably couldn't have happened at a better time for me, with the holidays and food trips coming up!!

If I can do it, ANYONE can!!

Omg I love this post!

I have put off on posting here until I was very sure that I was well into "onderland".

I can't believe how difficult it was pre-band to lose even the smallest amount of weight! All summer I fluctuated between 208 and 216 pounds, and that was with A LOT of working out and watching my food intake.

Now 1 month post-band, I honestly am SHOCKED that I am writing this at 191 pounds!!!

Congrats to everyone who is getting to their goals, and thanks again for this awesome post!

I am 39 away. Seems like I will never get there. I get so down in the dumps when the scale doesn't seem to move.

:thumbup: i love this thread...im 26lbs away from onederland. i hit a bad plateau for a little over a month, and since my last fill, i've been loosing a little every week; i just hope the scale keeps moving downward!
