Hi,

I was going to just post this to the end of my "elusive onederland" thread, but I couldn't figure out how to add the picture? The only way I know how is to start a new thread because it has the "attach file" feature.

So my patience paid off and as of today, exactly 39 weeks and 1 day since my first appointment and 19 weeks and 3 days since my surgery I have hit ONEDERLAND!

I guess I thought it would be more magical.... Don't get me wrong, it's AWESOME, but I still have more work ahead. I haven't been under 200lbs since I was a TEENAGER and that was a while ago.

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and kind words since starting my journey.

Congratulations. What a great way to end the year and start the New One.

Congratulations and simply wonderful.

Congratulations! I remember being excited but to your point the next goal is staring you right in the face.

I have been stuck just 1lb short of reaching a normal weight and BMI for two weeks now jumping back and forth between 175 and 176. I have decided I will get there when I get there. I am a daily weigher and had to stay off the scales now for the last week in the hopes I won't smash it! LOL! It is glass and this week annoying!

I keep telling myself it doesn't matter that I have done great and look great and those last 10 lbs really don't matter but so far that isn't working. Apparently they matter more than I thought they would.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know exactly how you feel because I hit 299 on Christmas Eve, the first time I've been under 300 lbs in over 9 years. I can't WAIT to see what Onederland looks like! Only 96 lbs to go!

Keep up the amazing work! Keep us posted!

Congrats! I feel excited for you!! Seeing something in the 1s is what I can't wait for. I am 15 lbs away and super excited.

Congratulations! Seeing that 1 on the scale is a HUGE victory!

Congratulations! What a great early start to the new year!!

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I never want to see a "2" as my first number of my weight again. I will feel more confident of hat once I am in the low 190's ????
