Deana,

People seemed to start noticing my weight loss this week. Its nice to know its showing isn't it! Of course people who knew I was on a program could see it but I like that others can see the difference now.

I can definitely see your loss in your current photo! Your looking great!

I like looking at everyone's weight loss tickers! It is motivation for me and proof that this will work. As well as everyone's positive outlook.
I tried it years ago but I really didn't have the finances for it at the time and had to stop after week 2. This time I'm at a position to go with it and the information I gathered with alternatives, really help with the cost of the whole thing. Thank you everyone for being so GREAT on here!

I'm the same way! Since i've lost weight/gained it back/lost it again people are really hesitant to say anything at all! Since I hit ONEDERLAND this AM on my scale, I'm finally starting to see the change in my mirror!! And by onederland, it said 199.8 but i'll take it! I made my Christmas challenge!

ONDERLAND is awesome... you hit the nail on the head... I see the difference in the mirror more now that I'm in the ones... not sure if its psychological or it just shows more... probably a little bit of both.

Congrats! I don't know what it is about onderland but it truly is a psychological boost! Have a great day!

I had to look up what ONEDERLAND was.......... very new here. I know that feeling when I first moved to Florida from Mississippi. I was at 210 and when I made the move down, I had only a part-time job so I hit the gym. I would wear myself out at that gym and I lost weight to 185. Then I got a full-time job and the drive to and from that job took up my gym time. (single mom needs time with her child) So now I hardly workout and my weight started to creep back up to 198. So I started IP before it got any worse and I dropped to 175. It was an amazing feeling and gave me motivation to stick to this. No matter what!

GREAT job ladies! You have ALL come a long way! I hope one day I will be able to do the same. I'm hoping for 140-130 range.

:carrot::carrot: ONEDERLAND!!! Best Gift to yourself, ever! Way to go!! :carrot::carrot:

Thanks yall!

Morning all. Managed to get thru the office potluck , it helped that we were having a sales contest during the same time. I focused on that rather than the food. Just two more work days then I'm on holiday vacation. Very excited!

Ems70508 congrats on Onederland!!

I am down half a pound and I will take it given how much I have been baking the past week!

A Happy Dec 20th to me! Down another 2.4 lbs and 2.5 inches which totals 24lbs in 6 weeks!

Happy Onederland Ems!

Congrats Sarahbell!

Hey! Congrats! I made my Christmas goal this morning too at WI!
Yeah, I think that people were afraid to say anything until this point, but it certainly feels WONDERFUL!


My WI was 272.8 (a -4.8), so that was about 3 lbs past my mini goal, so now onto my third mini goal of getting to 250 (I seriously don't know when I was 250 last.... When I was an early Teen probably)...

Congrats on on the great progress happening, even through the holiday season!

I think everyone should give themselves a "pat on the back"! We are losing and maintaining our weight during a time when most gain 10+ pounds. So stick to your allowed foods and feel good about your choices. Rejoice...it's that time of year :)

Ditto! Everyone's been saying to me "Oh, it must be so hard dieting at this time of year." At times I have cravings with all the goodies around, but I don't feel bad about not eating them. I actually feel great about the way I'm eating and the way my body feels.

Was down 1.2 this week (I know I am retaining water due to eating some veggies with soy sauce last night and also I drank 4 cups of water before weigh in) so a better loss should show up next week! But even better than the weight loss-I am off all diabetes medication!!!!
