ONE-DERland, BABEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

This has been one heck of a long time coming, and I FINALLY made it this morning!!!!! 199.8 counts, does it not?!?

Started this journey on June 2, 2008 at 330 pounds.  Had one complete unfill, a plateau of 5 weeks where I lost NOTHING, followed by a slight unfill because I knew I was too tight in that time period.  And now, here we are!!!  131 pounds later.........WOOOOOOHOOOO!!

Sorry, I'm a little bit excited and a little bit teary eyed.  I never, in my life, thought I would reach this goal again.  I was 200 pounds in 6th grade..... and never looked back.  So, this has been a long time coming.

Thanks to all of you for the support I receive here.  I post once in a while, but read all the time, and you guys are the best!!

Congradulations !! I can't wait for the day I can post this same message and I'm so close I can smell it, It is your time to shine be proud of all your hard work. And don't let anyone tell you this was not hard work!! Even with the band you have to work at any weight loss we have!! 

Be Proud !! 

OMG YAY!!!! That's awesome!!!! I'm getting close..so I can totally understand your emotions and excitement! Congratulations!!

That is wonderful!!! I hope to join you soon

Thanks for the good wishes everyone..... I think the past five weeks were the longest of my life.  I was stuck, literally, between 202 and 205 pounds..... OMG... I thought I was going to lose my mind.  Every day I'd wake up thinking, "OK, today's the day I'll be under 200".   Finally realized I was just too tight, and was doing too much exercise, and taking in too few calories, so off I went for a slight unfill on week ago and have lost 4.5 pounds in that week!

I know that there are a lot of people on the board lately who have complained of being too tight and PB'ing and vomiting.... I just want them to read this and realize that it doesn't have to be that way.  I was there, and I was so afraid to get an unfill; that I would gain weight, or be hungry all the time.  Nope.  exactly the opposite.... My band is now working as it should have been for a long time!

Congratulations, that is an awesome victory for you!!!   I'm in the same boat, have been floating around 201 - 205 and its frustrating.  I had a slight unfill at the beginning of the month but now think I'm too loose, the band is a fickle thing!  Thanks for posting, it's inspiring to read about successes!!

Congrats Lisa! So proud & happy for you! Best feeling in the world huh? I so can't wait to get there with you!

YEA YOU!!!   I knew it would feel good to reach anything under 200, but never knew HOW good.   Keep up the good work and get rid of all those big clothes...lol.   It felt good to purge my closet.   Kimberly

Way to work it! 

Now you can look back on life fondly and say that you overcame one of the biggest obstacles and nothing can stop you now. I can't imagine the top of the world sensations and emotions that come with Onderland.

Congratulations on such a monumental milestone!!!
