Hope it's alright that I start a new thread? I know we have a 500-post-limit rule and the latest one was at 512.

This is my very first post in this group. I'm so excited to be here! I honestly haven't been in the two-teens since I was in eighth grade. So aside from early grade school, this is literally the smallest I've ever been. I rebooted a healthy commitment to myself back in March of last year, and I'm closing in on the anniversary of keeping a food journal. It has done so much for me: I've lost 50 pounds in 50 weeks. I've lost a lot of weight in the past (143 pounds total now) and have kept it off (aside from a 25 pound regain I've since recovered from, whew!), but this is the most consistent I've ever been. I'm really hoping I can get under 200 pounds sometime in July; if not, I'll just keep on trucking.

Once again, I'm so excited to be here! Let's do this together.

Oh god fresh thread and I'm still here

But you're so close! You can do this!

OH... I can't wait to get to where you 2 are! I have a long trail.. but you show me that it is really possible. CONGRATULATIONS to the 2 of you and I will celebrate the 2 of you when you see ONEDERLAND wooo wooo

Carly - Alright, that makes me feel a lot less crazy. Thanks. I also packed on the major pounds on depo, but there was other stuff going on. My husband is also snipped but this bc pill is suppose to help me get my possible PCOS under control. My nutrionalist said this morning to give it 30 days to balance out and it should very well help instead of hinder. I so, so, so hope that is true.

ELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi.

CherryQuin - I mean, I guess you're here but BARELY! You are like a nose blow away from that mighty onederland. Seriously.

Beth - Haha, you crack me up. Its the 216 tango! :P

So close yet it feels so far XD

Welcome Elladorine!! So happy you are here!! But none of us plan on staying long!!

Happy Friday to everyone else!!

I'm getting anxious for my weigh-in on Monday and stress is no good for weightloss! I increased my calories about 200-300 a day and I want to trust my nutritionist that I am not going to gain weight. I know she is right but I feel like I have been eating so much food (isn't that a good feeling on a "diet"??). The increase is strictly with fruits and vegetable calories but mentally, it's so hard to wrap my head around. I lost over 100lbs following her instructions so I am sure she is right about this too but ugh! I wish I had an on/off switch for my head!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Meant to say CherryQuinn, I saw on another thread about your engagement! Congratulations!!!

Thank you! It gives me more drive to lose the weight so I can be in the dress that I want XD

You are going to be GORGEOUS!! And we are here to support you all along the way!!

Hi all--I have to post so I'll be subscribed to this thread!

Today was a successful bathroom day (TMI--but all of you know what I mean), so I'm planning on 215 tomorrow.

(Why does dieting make me constipated and irregular both?)

This made me laugh, beth!! You know you are amongst friends when we all get what you mean and get excited for you! And go 215!!!

205 today... So I'll be around for at least a little bit

Engaged?! Wait, what? I missed this! How exciting!! Congratulations!!

What I really need is for you guys to all get into the 190s thread very soon and fill it up before I get there, Yes, I have a long way to go, but that is still the same thread I was posting on when I hit 198 in November 2011, and then the wheels fell off.

So when I do get there, I want a nice new thread, and not on that I will be jinxed on!! Plus of course, I want all the 200-219 people to get to Onederland and beyond!
