Onederful Onederland! On May 14^th, I officially entered Onderland. I have gone from an all time high weight of 365 pounds to 199 pounds. A size 30/32 to 16/18. I haven’t been this small since high school. I feel so good.

Still, I’ve been struggling a little. Lately I’ve been having a bit of a hard time sticking to the diet. I’ve been straying with maybe eating a little too much dinner or having a “real” candy here and there or a couple of chocolate cookies. I could smack myself.

Maybe a few friendly smacks from some of you guys.

Anyway, I’ve updated my profile with some new photos and changed my avatar. Take a look.

Of course I'll save your seat. Hang on, you are in for the ride of your life. In the end, it's all good. Let me know when your surgery is scheduled. I'll cheer you on. Take care.

Unbelievable April - you should be proud. I've had a few days in a row where I've strayed but than I sort-of get an epiphany. First of all, you are not done - right? Lsing over 100 lbs, getting lots of compliments, you should reward yourself a bit. BUT KEEP IN MIND YOU AREN'T DONE - you're closer than you've ever been but there is still work to be done. Get away from the candy, get out and exercise more, and find other things to put in your mouth instead of cookies or candy (get your minds out of the gutter girls)... Ellen

Ellen, Since I'm having the problem, can I stay in the gutter? That would be so much fun (not that I would know, mind you!). I need to start logging in my food again. I haven't been doing that lately and it's one thing that really helps. Sometimes we get a little full of ourselves and think we can "just do it". We forget we need all the help we can get from all resources available. You gave me a chuckle. Thanks. I need it. Hugs,
