Finally!! I made it! ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!
Hello fellow hoosier losers.
I do not post on here often, but I do read everyday. I finally made it to onederland. I wanted to wait until I got down below 200 to let everyone on the board know. When I started the weightloss process, I weighed 346 pounds and my BMI was 51. I am now down below the 200 and my BMI is below 30 also. Both of which were major accomplishments for me. These both were mini goals that I had set for myself to have achieved before Christmas.
I have been very fortunate with my weightloss and want to thank every single member of this board. If it were not for you all, I may not have made it this far. I have learned so much from all of you. And I love the recipes. I have used quite a few of them, and look forward to new ones all the time. You can never have enough weightloss friendly recipes.
Please do not be upset with me for expressing my joy, this is just a huge success for me, and I wanted to share with all of you. Thank you so much and you all are so important to me.
Thank you all so much and I look forward to reading your posts in the future and everyone please keep up the wonderful work.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Congratulation from your neighbor down the road. I am very happy you have made it to your great goal!!! Keep up the hard work and all your goals will come true. I now have a Wii fit also, so we will have to have mini competitions to see who can work out the most in a week. I did the step aerobics on Friday and the calves of my legs hurt so bad I could hardly walk for a couple of days. I really thought I was in better shape than that. I do either walking on treadmill or the elliptical at least 30 minutes every week day Monday through Friday. Again Congratulations!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! You have so much to be proud of! Keep up the great work and you will be at your goal weight before you know it!
