Hey April! Thanks!
Yea, my 244 was when I started originally though.  My "new" start weight was 240. But every little bit is progress at least!
Thanks for the welcome!

Yes, I have an end of Year goal of reaching Onderland! Not doing well this summer with food plan and exercise. I will keep trying. Good Luck, Everyone! It would be an Awesome Christmas goal to reach Onderland. CW: 234.

That's a great goal to strive for! I'd love to see Onederland by the end of the year too!
I feel like a million bucks today. On a normal day when my gym buddy (my mom) would opt out of going for the day, then I would too. Today I didnt. And I pushed myself on the elliptical. 35 minutes later I was drenched. What a great feeling! I also am proud of myself today at lunch. We ordered out for a co-workers birthday. I ate 1/2 of my order instead of all of it. Those two things are pretty significant victories for me. I'm really hoping and feeling like I'm turning a corner here. Now if Mr. Motivation can stay with me!
Hope you all have a great week!

Woo, great goal! I think it would be a wonderful (hah I accidentally typed 'onederful' at first and had to correct  ) Christmas present.

It's so nice to hear about everybody seeing onederland and working toward it - I wasn't focused on that until I saw other people in this thread writing about it and realized that it might be within reach. I was 234.8 today and hoping that's an indicator that my somewhat stuck scale has started moving down...
Going away for the weekend and made reservations at a sushi place and a seafood place hoping those will make things easy - checked out times for the exercise classes at the hotel... I'm a little worried about avoiding eating junk on the plane (5 hour flight) and other situations where we are grabbing food on the go, but thinking I might pick up a box of protein bars so I always have something on me. It does seem like more places are offering healthy choices, and I'm learning what choices are good at those kind of fast food/on the go places, so hopefully I will be OK!

Congrats on the losses you guys! I'll weigh in tomorrow. Hopefully the scale will be good to me.
I'm gonna go try to hit the gym in a few hopefully while we still have electricity. This tropical storm is causing havoc already here!

Had a big setback. Got down to 220 and bounced right back to 230. :-( My problem is that I reward myself too much for my achievements and then get off track. Really disappointed that I gained that much back. Well, here's to starting all over again.

Happy Monday everyone!
I stayed on plan with my eating this weekend but exercise was completely non-existant. I am looking forward to getting back to the gym today though. The bad weather pushed on through and it is so nice and pleasant out now!

Happy Monday to you too! Had a great Monday weigh in. Yesterday I weighed myself at the gym at 237.1 and today it's 236.2 so feeling good!
ONE more pound and it's 100 pounds lost.
