I don't think I can get my mind around it yet

I am in O N E derland !!!!!

What is up with this?!?!

I am down 48 pounds, with 47 to go! ??

I don't know, maybe I will be happy at 170 rather then 150. My goal is still my goal, to get into the size 14 clothes in the rubbermaid box in my closet. That was when I was at my happiest with my weight.

I was a skinny kid, and had no shape. When I wore those clothes I felt by best. We'll see what happens.

When I reach 185 I am treating myself to a SMORE - I know sounds nuts. But then again, you all know me by now, I am nutz.

AND IN ONEDERLAND !!!!!!!

Dang, Melanie, you are doing awesome girl! You were banded two weeks before me and have lost close to 50 pounds and are now officially in onederland! That is fabulous! Congrats, and enjoy that s'more when you reach your next goal, those things are awesome. I believe there is nothing wrong with a special treat, as long as it is not an every night thing. After all, we are still human and want to live and enjoy life.

BTW -- many of your posts of information have been very valuable to myself, and now to my husband, as you are a man, he tends to give it more weight.

...let's not go there...

Anyway, wanted to let you know your information has been very much appreciated !!!!!!
