40 pounds, Onederland, and a HUGE THANKS

  • In January I was searching for a recipe and came across this site.by mistake. Since then I have consistantly been following this forum and the amazing life-changing journey that so many people here are taking. Since January I have lost 40 pounds and I am happy to say that today I officially entered into the world of "onederland"!!
    When the weightloss was slow or when I got side tracked, I would always check out this site to renew my drive. I am so thankful to have been able to come here and see people struggling with the same struggles that I have and celebrate other's successes even if my own scale wasn't budging. When taking on a challenge like this it is so motivating to see that I am not alone.
    I am still only halfway to my final goal, but to mark this point in my journey I thought I would celebrate by finally registering and write my first post with a huge THANK YOU to everyone who unknowingly supported me by sharing your advice, struggles and sucesses on this forum.
