The good news is I feel better and I can see the changes! The first time in a LONG time I'm buying clothes/scrubs with no X's in the size!

The hospital I work for has an awesome bariatric program, they have you meet up with personal trainers for health coaching, and they have a body fat scanner thing. I went today and my body fat is down 6-7%, down a total of 71lbs since heaviest, and since two weeks post op when I had my last scan, I have only lost 8lbs muscle. She suggests I get back in the habit of lifting weights, which I was doing a lot pre-op but I wanted to get under 200lbs, so I focused more on cardio.

It was a good reminder that if you lose the muscle your metabolism slows down so much more with the restricted food intake.

I didn't weigh myself today, but after drinking a lot of fluids and with clothes on there I was 203, so who knows I may have made it!

Good luck to everyone here that knows the struggle!

Love the term "onederland" it's so appropriate.

Yes! 12 weeks hanging out between 203 and 207. Up and down. This last 2 weeks it just melted away. I am at 190! I don't know if my body was holding into Water or what. It was really my first plateau and hope I don't have another anytime soon. Last 40 to go.

You probably had a stall when was your surgery?

What app is that?

When you guys got to the lower 200's, did it seem like it took FOR-EV-ER for the scale to drop below 200?

I've been at 210 and then 211 and 212 for a week then finally back to 210 today. I was hoping it was just because I'm about to have my period.. now I'm thinking it might be the onderland curse haha.. I guess onderland wouldn't be so great if we didn't have to work for it.. congrats to those that have made it and good luck to those in pursuit! I am turning the 30 next month and I'd like to be somewhere deep in onderland by then!

Getting closer. After being stuck around 208 for a couple of weeks I am 203.1 as of this morning.

@@kjwrn,

I’m reasonably sure that scales can detect the user’s anxiety and desires! Furthermore, I am sure scales are programmed to act exactly opposite to what the user wants so badly. So, since you want to be in onederland so much, the scale is resisting.

You will win, though! Once you break into onederland, you may never go back. Enjoy the feeling when you get there, and congratulations on your hard work and great results.

It was 20 months when I hit this hold pattern. I had significant loss already of 240 lbs. Guess I was due a stall.

Made it!!!

198.9 this morning.

It's surreal to see that '1' after so long. And it sure beats the hell out of seeing a '3' for so many years.

I'm less than 3lbs from no longer being obese per BMI.
