I am posting this in the hopes that it may help someone....

Onederland. I have read other people post about onederland for years now, and never thought it would one day be me. It just seemed so far out of reach. During my years of trying all different diet fads, I got close, but never hit the magic number (only to gain back everything, plus). Yesterday, was my first memory of ever seeing a 1 as the first digit on the scale.

Less than 8 months ago, I weighed 316 pounds, scared out of my mind about surgery, and wondering if I would even lose 100 pounds in the end. The road hasn’t always been easy, but the results are so worth it. For those on the fence (as I was for 5 years) I can tell you without hesitation that this was the right move for me. As so many people have said before, my only regret is not doing it sooner.

Congratulations!!!! I bet it feels so great. I hope to join you in that land in another day or 2!!

This is completely awesome - well done, you! It's incredibly gratifying - and sometimes even astounding ? - when our good choices and hard work really begin paying off.
