What did YOU do to celebrate entering "One-derland"?



Recommended Posts

At my weekly weigh-in, I was officially under 200 lbs; a weight I haven't seen in more than 16 years!

I want to Celebrate but can't think of anything special to do that is affordable and not food-related.

Surely many of you have celebrated this milestone.... what did YOU do to mark the occasion?

(PS let the record show that I'm very grateful to have this problem, lol)

Congratulations! I'm just one pound away and I hope to get there this week. I was thinking a new swim suit might be a good reward. We are already at 90 here in Texas today.

I'm nowhere close, but I plan on going horseback riding and buying a pair of awesome boots when I get there. I've always had really thick calves, so it would be wonderful to be able to wear boots.

As for affordable things, a new swimsuit or other piece of clothing that makes you feel awesome. A stylish new haircut, a massage, a mani-pedi. Something to make you feel good.

Oooh, a horseback riding lesson... That would be a wonderful way to celebrate! I used to be an avid horsewoman but haven't been on a horse in 20 yrs or more due to my wt.

Congrats!

I am about 20 lbs from onederland. I suppose I should start thinking about my "prize". One thing that became apparent this morning is that by the time I hit onederland I am going to need to buy some new jeans. I just got into my smallest "skinny" jeans - size 18 -- no W!!! These jeans have to be about 10 years old and from the shape they are in, I didn't wear them very long. I am taking a load of clothing to the consignment store this weekend so I may have to check out the smaller size jean selection - IN THE MISSES SECTION!!! By the time I reach onederland I may need to get 14s.

You know, I've been looking at new swimsuits as the one I have is starting to get big. I think that will be my celebration. I will have to pay retail for a suit since that's not something I want to wear used. Kind of like underwear! Besides, I am training for a triathlon so that suit is kind of necessary. :) They frown on nekkid at the rec center! :D:PB)

Congrats again. Can't wait to hear what you what you choose!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
