ONEDERLAND!!!!!

Hi all, just wanted to share with everyone that I finally made it to the elusive "Onderland".  I weighed this morning and I was at 198lbs.  I haven't seen these kind of numbers in about 13 years.  I made my husband come look at the scale.  I'm so excited and happier than I've been in a while.  My goal is even closer.  I set it for 150lbs.  I'm only 5'3" and 150 is still too much for my height but I want to be realistic.  I don't have to have a bikini body just a healthy body.  I've had a lot of wonderful support from so many people on here and at the support group meetings.  I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the support and inspiration.  I love everybody on here. Thanks again and I hope everyone has a wonderful day because I sure have!! Melissa

Happy Dance !!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm sooooooo happy for you! I know that feels AWESOME --- and you worked hard for it! keep it up, little lady!  ~ Tara

Congrats! That is awesome!

Can we ge a YEE HAWWWWWW ! Congrats!!!

Wow Melissa!  That is fabulous!  I can't wait to get there too, 6 pounds to go! Marilyn

WOW... YOU GO GIRL! lol... I was excited and ready to do flips when I got to 299 (anything below 300 was my goal at that weigh in)... I can only imagine how great it must feel to be in the 1's... and I'm with you... I don't need a bikini body, just one that I can get out of bed without the pain everyday... and knowing me, I'll still put it in a bikini... and nobody has to look if you don't want to see it! lol! Congrats...

Congrats Melissa !!!! Onederland is just a few more pounds away for me. Hoping to make it there soon. Your doing just awesome and looking great. Keep up the good work !

Congratulations Melissa - that is absolutely awesome.  I am within "viewing" range of that same spot - only about 7.5 more pounds to go and I'll be there too.  I'm so excited for you and I know you feel so much better.  It won't be long and we'll be back at Baptist for our checkup and weigh in - won't they be surprised at how well we've done.  Keep up the good work girl, you are doing a fabulous job.

Thanks everyone for the replies.  It means so much to me that the people on this board care so much and are so supportive.  I never would have believed that getting this much support after surgery would make that much of a difference but it does.  Congrats to everyone on here for being a bunch of "Losers".
