A present for 2015 - ONDERLAND by 12/31 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

This thread was so good last year and I think we have a bunch of people who want to make Onderland or Twoderland or whatever century number you wish to obtain! this year as a goal. I came close last year and am in the mindset of making it this year! Is Onderland (or other number) one of your goals for this year? If so... Come on in and post. We will cheer each other on. Wouldn't it be just Onderful to see a "1" as the 1st number (or a "2" or ...) on your scale! Woot Woot! and Shazammmmm! LETS DO IT!

I so want that "1" as the first number on the scale! I am starting today at 230.6.... So I have 30.8 lbs to go! I can and WILL DO it this year!

How far away or close are you?

I am shooting for ONEderland this year as well!!! I was hoping to start the year off a bit closer than I am but it is what it is.

My 1/1/15 weigh in was 235.8 (That was up from Thanksgiving).

Hoping to see a big drop in my weight this month as I KNOW some of my weight, right now, is "water weight"!

JB and Abstracted.. we are all around the same weight! and even closer today I bet! We can (WILL!) do it!

I am down to 228.8... so only 29.0 lbs to go! woohoo!

I wish the best for all of you wanting to reach onderland, but don't do what I did. I wanted it so badly, that once I got there, I stopped. I am so complacent thinking "I am below 200" and I can't wrap my brain around the fact that my actual goal is much lower.

Wonderful thread wannaskipandlaugh, thank you so much for making it! I am definitely going for Onederland this year, I'm the closest to it than I've ever been in my adult life (currently weighing 244.4 lbs.) and I haven't weighed in the 100's since about elementary school, sad but true. Last year I reached Twoderland lol after being stuck in the 300's since around the beginning of 2006, and I am happy & thankful to be where I am, but I will not stop until I reach my desired goal (150 lbs.). 45 lbs. in 1 year doesn't seem unreasonable for my size, I believe that I can do it, and I pray God blesses me with the strength of perseverance , right now I am feeling super determined and hungry for success, I hope to maintain that feeling throughout my journey.

I am totally in starting out in Janurary at 219!!!!

Jb1975 · 01-06-2015, 09:26 AM

I'm going in the wrong direction!!!!!! 235.2 this morning. That's up from earlier this week. I seriously don't know what's going on! I am OP and exercising and my weight is NOT budging! TOM was this past week/weekend and I DID not follow my usual weight pattern with that so maybe (?!) that has some to do with all of this! I was SOOOOOOOO hoping for 10 pounds this month! Well, actually, I was hoping (before the crazy plateau) to be down to 214.9 by Valentine's day! Now, I'm readjusting my goal to 222 and PRAYING that God helps me get over this rut! That's still an ambitious goal but, the way I see it, the scales owe me some "backpay"! I'm hoping they settle their account, right quick!

I am shooting for the start of my happy weight range, which starts in the 220s! So I would love to see the 220s by the end of the year!!!

Weight as of 1/1/15: 298

pegeye · 01-06-2015, 03:21 PM

ooh im in on this one. started out around 315 in October ish and am down to 283 now. it was a Christmas miracle i didn't gain over the holidays. my official goal of 2015 is 84 pounds to push me back to onederland. reward is an all inclusive to mexicooo!

sunarie · 01-06-2015, 03:45 PM

I'm also shooting for Onederland in 2015! I'm starting at 231.4 at my last weigh in (1/5/15). So around 31lbs to go. I think that's more than doable, even with a few slip ups

I will also definitely try and avoid the mentality Wannabehealthy mentioned.. as I know I could easily fall into it since it's been soooo long since I've seen a number under 200 on the scale. Lots of sticking to my plan, which I need to do anyway because that's the only way to make sure these changes stick for a lifetime.

BethC · 01-06-2015, 05:54 PM

I'm starting again, but totally motivated to get to Onderland and beyond in 2015!!!

jessy 49 · 01-06-2015, 07:44 PM

Looking forward to onederland ... sooner rather than later! It is my first goal on my 60 lb journey and I'd like to get there while I have some beginners momentum. Know from past experience that after the first little while my interest and enthusiasm wane!

vchan000 · 01-06-2015, 08:22 PM

Onederland sounds like a fantastic goal. 20lbs to go, I can totally do this!

Elladorine · 01-06-2015, 10:08 PM

I wanted to make it to 199 this past summer ... didn't happen. Spent all my energy on improving my mental health. Thought I was back in the game a few months ago, but nope.

Putting my foot down as of today. No more added sugar. I was only 3 pounds away last spring and now I'm 36 away.

Not complaining though since I'm still smaller than I was in high school. I know I can do this. I'm returning to TOPS as of tomorrow (wasn't able to attend most of last year because they coincided with doctor-mandated therapy sessions).

It should be reasonable enough for me to lose 5 pounds per month. Let's do this thing!
