Countdown to Onederland!

Maddysgranny · 05-23-2007, 12:19 PM

Thanks Sarah!! Shoot I celebrated the first time I saw 199!!! It went back up once but came right back down. I celebrate for everything though, I just love the fact I am losing and haven't been close to 300 in a long time. I can now fit into a 14 (non strechy jeans too) and that is alot better than the 22-24 I was wearing, that was a celebration all in itself.Havent been in a 14 in 8 years. I think it gives me incentitive not to eat too much junk, don't want to go back over 200. Congrats to you Sarah!! and I know I screamed when I saw 199, made everyone in the house come look!!

Good morning Ya'll............................

Did I mention that I was down 4.6 lbs when I weighed in at WW???? The lady at the register was like, "oh my goodness that is great, how did you do it"???? I couldn't tell her that I had been puking for 3 days.

I bought a pedometer at my WW meeting. I saw Valarie Bertanelli on the Ellen show the other day and she is wearing one. Her goal is to walk 10,000 steps each day. I'm gonna aim a little lower than that. Shit, first I have to figure out how to set this darn thing.

Enjoy your day,
Jen

Ah, the scale - a friend?......a foe?........ a fixation?..........

It is really symbolic of my eating pathology. No one has noticed my weight loss, but I think I'll just smile and say thank you when people ask how much I've lost, are they thinking, "well, how much DID she weigh?" If i am sensitive about it, does it mean I haven't accepted the changed I am making? I have so much baggage from yo yo dieting, family issues, self-esteem stuff, it all comes up when i lose weight. This time with my band I have assembled a team of support people - a psychologist, a trainer and an acupunturist. I will get through it because I deserve a healthy life. Isn't it crazy? I just want to feel "normal" about food, weight and looks. Still in that adolescent faze.

I find as each thing comes up now I am addressing the issue presented. So each ouwie is a gift for healing. Sorry to ramble, but there you are.

Best wishes all,

I want to join the countdown to onederland! I have been in twoterville since October 2006. I am down to 269 from 380! I had surgery in July of 2006. My joke is that I am going to work naked when I hit 199.

I can't wait to get there!

Hey guys!

Marquita - :welcomeB: You have done a great job with your weight loss!

Dynamo - You are a very wise, thoughtful person! They'll be noticing before long! I had one guy in my office to ask my friend if I had lost weight after over 6months of being banded... she was like "duh! she's lost like 80 pounds!". He was the only person that hadn't said anything to me about it. Some people are oblivious. EVERY day I get compliments or questions about my weight loss. It is awesome. I thought I wouldn't want to tell people how much I've lost or how much I currently weight, but I do! I know people are doing the math in their heads, but I don't care. 317 was a long time ago. Keep up the great work!

Fluffer - You are doing great Jen! Keep up the stepping sister. How is the unfill treating you? Are you able to eat now? Hope so!

Jaqui - Hope you are feeling better!

Clynnc - Thanks!

:update: ON ME!!!

I stepped on the scales this morning and it said 199.2!!!
Wahoo!! I gotta see it for a couple of days to believe it but it said 199.2! 199.2! 199.2! I'm gonna take a piccture and post it on here for you guys next time !

So now you know how it feels to be in Onederland. You have done so well, lost so many pounds, you deserve this cheering menagerie of silliness.

Can't wait to join you. I appreciate what you said yesterday. It isn't what other people say to me, it so so much more what I say to myself. I am on a journey to unite my mind and body.

Hugs to everyone out there. We can do this. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Maddysgranny · 05-24-2007, 12:14 PM

I have been in school coughing all day, I am sure the other testers are really glad I came today!!But I am getting better slowly, thanks for the concern! I will probably lose some weight when I get rid of this crap in respiratory system , never knew people could hold so much !! Ok I will quit whining! Y'all have a great day!!

Hey Guys! I hit 205.5 on the scale this morning.. I'm sure that It'll say 210 again tonight... I'm going w/ 205.5 for now.. Anyway, getting really pumped up about ONEDERLAND! How's everyone doing out there?
I hope you all have a great weekend! Anyone have a big plans this weekend?

RKidder · 05-25-2007, 02:22 PM

Hi All!
I was banded 2 days ago - weight 200.5 lbs just before surgery (down from a high of 237). I think with all the IV fluids and edema, I am at 203 right now. As soon as things settle down, I should see Onederland soon.
Congrats all, on your efforts!
Rachel

DynamoMini · 05-25-2007, 04:02 PM

Hi Everyone!
I had an "official" weigh in today because of the weekend. I am down to 203 1/4 pounds. I was even wearing slightly cropped jeans, which are full length on me. I am thrilled because my BMI is under 40!

Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
