Road to Onederland Challenge!



Recommended Posts

OK, I AM SO IN!! I weighed yesterday and am sitting at 209.8!! I fluctuate from 205-210 on a weekly basis. I want to lose 10 pounds this month and need something to keep me motivated. I have a lot going on and for some reason losing weight has been the last thing on my mind. I couldn't eat enough all day long today! It's time to start telling myself no and start exercising again. Thanks for this!!! I'm in!

Okay everyone, this thread is a sticky! I think that means we're an official challenge now, so we have to lose, right? :) Unfortunately, I had to move my start weight a little higher... Not having a fill really stinks! Back on track today though. Here are the starting weights for everyone:

Anwyn: 208

Kimalicious: 209.8

MiaHalliwell: 198 (goal: 190)

Xann77: 222

Jachut: 209

Seppi: 207.5

Tricia: 207

Dianechef: 202.5

I'm trying to think of a reward for myself once I reach 199. Any suggestions? It was DH's idea, but he'll want me to come up with it. Does anybody else have a reward planned?

Hope you're all having a great week!

REMINDER: WEIGH IN EVERY TUESDAY (starting April 11th)

I don't have a reward in mind for myself but maybe for you a new outfit or something. Just a thought. I love clothes, LOL. I can't wait for them to fit me properly again, LOL.

Okay Anne, add me to the "No fill - gained weight" club!! I am now at 205. I don't get another fill until 2 more weeks. :faint: I NEED this club!!

I definately think we all should have a reward once we get there. THIS IS BIG!!! I don't know about you, but I haven't weighed under 200 in about 10 years!!! I would love to get a full day at the spa. A facial, massage, nails & toes done sounds heavenly. Gosh, not sure how much that would cost, but I'M WORTH IT - RIGHT!?!?!

Welcome Bandayed! Glad you can join us. :scared:

Diane, I love the spa day idea. I think I may do that too. You have to have pretty toes in the summer anyways, right? And yes, WE'RE WORTH IT!!

I get my first fill on the 27th of this month early in the morning. I'm excited, but I wish it were sooner. I didn't know what size band I have and my doc replied by saying a 10 mm band, I am pretty sure that he means 10 cm, am I right? That holds 4cc, am I right on that as well? He is new to this and we are learning together, LOL. I have been asked to run a support group for the band as well. It makes me want to meet my goal even more. :)

I am so mad!!

I am trying to join y'all on the road to onderland and was eating an organic frozen enchilada lunch. 220 calories, 10g Protein -- soft & portable I was psyched b/c I don't usually like frozen Entrees and I loved it. So there I was enjoying my lunch and as I was cleaning up I stopped to read the box to see what OTHER varieties they make. Then I noticed IT -- serving size 1 enchilada --- there were 2 in the dish -- I ate them both! 440 calories grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it wasn't THAT good! That will teach me a lesson in reading the box!!! I'm going to be in twoderland forever!

No loss for me either. In fact, I'm up a pound. :)

Oh well, today is a new day. I'm thinking of begging the doctor to move my fill up a week. I need restriction now darn it! :)

This came as a total shock to me, but I'm down 5 pounds, as of today.

Go Tricia!!!! :clap2:

I have stayed the same. I think my problem lies in the chinese food that I had this weekend. The sodium made me retain Water and I was up 2lbs at 1 point. My weight is like 198.2 or something like that, so at least it wasn't a gain that stayed with me. I won't be making that mistake any time soon, lol.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
