Hello Onederland!
 

My first major scale victory today: There was no "2" at the front of the number. It said 199.6! I got off and back on three times to make sure it wasn't a cruel mistake, but it was the same each time. :carrot:

Still have a long ways to go to reach Goal, but this was a tremendous milestone, as I have not been under 200 since about 1998.

Congrats!! It's a good feeling eh?! Definitely a reason to keep going, cause it's awesome to see the scale dropping with a 1 in front! I remember hitting Onederland almost 3 months ago and never looked back! So good for you!!:)

That's awesome, hoorah for onederland! Best of luck for the rest of your journey. 53lbs down, what an achievement :D

Was doing some preparation for my move this afternoon and came across a white leather biker jacket with fringed sleeves I'd bought on eBay ages ago. It never fit, but it was so gorgeous I'd held onto it "in case I ever lose the weight" and it had been a steal besides- like 10 or 15 dollars for a Wilson jacket. Well- it fits today! (Although at 94 degrees, it's a bit too hot to wear right now.) In a few months, I will be rocking this awesome jacket- and will have lost enough weight that even be able to wear a sweater under it.

yea! Λ 5! i cant wait to reach my onederland! i bet its an awesome feeling!

Woohoo!! Awesome achievement.

Way to go girl! Wow, that is awesome!

So exciting, xirene, congratulations!!!

Yayy!! Way to go! 199 is the best feeling ever, you should be proud!

:bravo: WTG :bravo:

Awesome!!! That's an amazing milestone. Enjoy it :)

Congratulations!!!! Hard work pays off!!!!

I will join you there soon!

Yesterday the scale decided to be mean and went back to 200, but it's 199.4 today. What a rush!

To reward myself, I spent a few bucks and went to the local rec center for a few hours in their pool and hot tub. It's strange not using food as a reward like I've always done.

That's so amazing! I'm still dreaming of that day so I can just imagine your joy :) Congrats!

I've been sitting here at 199 for one week today, and the scale hasn't budged. I'm ready to scream and have threatened it a few times with some choice words LOL.

On the bright side, I did have three- THREE!- NSV's today!! It was a little chilly, so I decided on long pants instead of shorts. I opened my closet and all the way in the back was a pair of jeans I'd bought about 8 yrs ago back in PA from eBay that hadn't fit when they arrived in the mail. I decided to try them on for the heck of it- and they fit! So I went out shopping in a black t-shirt and leopard print jeans and felt pretty damned good. :) :)

While I was out, I decided to try some new jeans on. I've been wearing my 20W and they are very loose, I need a belt or I could pull them off without opening them LOL. I decided to tempt fate and took an 18W, 16W and a straight 18 and 16 into the try-on room. The 16W and 18 fit! I fit into a non-W pair of jeans! (And the W-size ones were 16, a number I've not seen in about 13-14 years!)

I've been ecstatic ever since :D

Now come on, scale- MOVE!

Hooray for you!! Fantastic!!!
