Countdown to Onederland!

I am almost there, any encouragment would be great about now...

You can do it! I never thought I would get there, and just barely crossed over into onderland myself. It is a wonderful feeling, and I don't ever want to leave this wonderful onederland again!

I was so close I could taste it, and then PMS kicked in and I gained 10lbs over night.

I know its just water weight but to get that close and then step on the scale and see that huge number re-appear. I about fell out.

With the PMS I have been eating like a pig, anything and everything, of course samller portions but chocolate and ice cream have been my friends. Hopefully in a couple of days when this is over I can go back to normal.

I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for another fill, I might have to get one.

It's so close! I was hoping to be at 200 by the 4th of July but missed it by a 2#'s. So I've extended my little goal to one week more. I'm so happy that my fills have finally been effective. I'm really trying to cut my carbs and eat the protein while watching the time between eating. Grazing can be such a problem! After 9 months, it's good to finally be losing.

My Weight Chart:

Today I weighed in at 199.4. After only six months with my band I have lost almost 100 pounds. I tried to explain this to a friend, but she is still thinking that she can lose weight without the band after 20 years of trying.
What would we do without our fantastic bands!
Keep moving forward!

That is awesome Lanie!!! Way to go!!

Lanie,

That's amazing! Congrats!! You lost your weight so fast. Wish I was as disciplined. I should be joining you in Onederland soon but I keep going up and down 2 pounds. Can't wait to get there!

I know how you feel. It has been slow going but I am only a little under 2 pounds away from onederland!!! So close, yet so far. Congrats to all those that have made it there before me! I will join you soon!!! Yeah!

This is the exact message I was about to type,when I saw yours. I too am still 2 lbs away. It's within reach but I just can't seem to catch it.

These 2 pounds are driving me nuts! I keep thinking if I just hardly eat for a couple of days I will see 199 on the scale. But I know as soon as I start eating again, those pounds will come right back and I'll really get upset! Gotta just keep going at it slow and steady!

Gosh, for those of you so close (2 lbs.), it must be torture! I am now only about 10 lbs. away.

I can't wait!

BTW, this is a great thread!

It is torture!! When I hit 199, I'll jump on here and do a happy dance. Until then, I gotta stick with the program and my day will come.

After being on a plateau for a while, I've now reached Onederland. I don't mean to spoil that, but it does seem like an anti-climax to get there as I've been looking forward to it so much. Still, my wife is still in bed and I haven't told her yet!
To everyone else close to Onederland - keep going, it will come.

I'm walking on sunshine, whoo oo and don't it feel GOOD!

Congrats Steve!! Way to go!

Hopefully several of us will be joining you very soon.

199 is my first goal I set for myself. If I can get there I have a treat lined up, boy I really can't wait. (I am treating myself to a luxury massage and one of our Day Spas here in St. Louis) So I have more anxiety about it. I really want that massage.

Congrats Steve! Can't wait to join you!
