Have I mentioned how awesome this forum is?!

Anyway, when I reach onederland I am seriously going to cry! I always thought I was in the high 100's and last year about this time I weighed myself and saw 215.5 and almost fell over.

Of course this was after a couple years of college eating...but still, it scared me.

Since I've moved home with my parents, I'd lost five pounds without changing much. But I'm finally going to get below 200, and it will be a beautiful day! Hopefully it will come sometime in the next two weeks!

tigerkt2007, with a little hard work, you will cross the border back into onderland soon! I wish I had caught myself like you had, but I hadn't cared. Keep us updated!



SoulSurvivor, we've got a long and hard trail in front of us, but we'll cross the border as long as we keep moving. Focus on small lengths of the trail, and before long, that 21 marker will be behind you, and I'll be following along to meet my own 46.6 marker, but reach it I will.

I would love to join this thread!!

Im just about 22 lbs away from onderland and can't wait to get there. I have tried this journey many times before and failed, each time leaving me to gain more and more.. I want to do it this time!! So far so good.. I like the idea of coming together with people that are doing the same!! I look forward to chatting with you all!!

i'm still trucking along. had a gain of 0.4lbs to put me at 220.5 (i had a late dinner the night before. i hate eating after 630). but today i am down to 219.4, so just 20 more pounds and i will be there!!!

Do you guys really weigh yourself almost daily?

I think that would drive me insane, turn me into an emotional rollercoaster, for sure!

Keep your spirits up, and keep working on it ladies. Every effort moves us closer,

I weighed in today and ohmygosh!!!

196.6lbs!!!

I did it!

Happy Birthday to me...

Alli you did it!!!

I weigh in everyday, it helps me stay focused!! I have tried the once a week thing and I fall off so anything to keep me going.. If I gain then I know I didn't follow plan like I should have then it kicks my butt and say oh my no more gaining. Where as before I would binge eat because I have already messed up whats one more brownie!!

I'm down this morning 0.4 lbs which brings me to 221.4

Alli Thats a great present to youself!!

i weigh myself daily, just because i like to see how i am doing. plus it keeps me accountable. i've not weighed myself for a couple f days before and ended up gaining weight because i wasnt' keeping myself accountable for something. with weighing in everyday, i can keep myself accountable.

I totally have to weigh myself daily... I have to be able to track my progress daily... What made me start this whole weight loss journey was my husband... He bought me a Wii and Wii Fit for Christmas... (He didn't mean it in a bad way... I had hinted around at wanting one...)So, I started using it... The exercises on it are OK, I really like the body test though... I do that every morning when I wake up. It weighs me, and tracks my BMI. When I started, (around Jan 9th, 2010), I was at my all time high weight of 224 lbs.... I got an app on my iPhone called "Lose It", and it is basically a calorie/fat/carb/sodium tracker. Every time I put something in my mouth, I log it in my phone. I'm down to 215 as of this morning... 16# to onederland! Anyways, just wanted to say that you all are an inspiration to me. Keep up the amazing progress!

P.S. Sorry for so many elipses (...) Bad habit. =]

Hello ladies!! I once again am getting back on track. I haven't been in onederland for probably 4 years And I'm determined to get back down there! I weighed in this morning at 215, so 16lbs to go!!

So I am at 204.9 as of this morning!! I can't wait to see the scale go under 200- it has been over 15 years...

I remember weighing exactly 200 lbs at a physical I had to take to get into jr. high sports when I was 12. Of course the nurse said my weight really loud in front of all my friends waiting in line, so I remember that moment well...;P

So anyways, you girls rock! Here we come, Onederland!

Mean nurse!

Okay, I understand the tracking thing. I think I just need to be cautious of the scale for a while, I rather not find myself focusing on the numbers more than the foods going into my mouth. I could see me becoming obsessive,

Congrats, Ali & stcroix06!

You are close, QTestRDH, keep working on it!

I would have an i-thingy just for the apps, but the devices are a little beyond my budget at the moment. But that is so cool, MrsHoneycutt, I'd probably never put the thing down! Too many fun games and what-not. (friend has one, I borrow on occasion while he's busy with something else, moohawhawhaw )

Ali YOU DID IT!!! That's awesome! What a great birthday present!

Yay for all the ladies that are on their way to Onderland! We can do it!!!!


I weighed in this morning at 206.2lbs!!!! I'm down 4lbs from last week! I'm so close to Onderland I can taste it! Can't wait to join you ladies that are already there.

Here's to another week of staying OP and feeling great!!

Well done Ali & stcroix06!!

And to you too Katy! 4lbs down in a week is brilliant! I really need to get back on track, don't know what's wrong with me. I really want to try and hit onederland this month - wish me luck!!!
