I AM GOING TO FLY TO CALIF TO SEE MY DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS. ONLY MY DAUGHTER KNOWS THAT I HAVE LOST ANY WEIGHT. I WOULD LOVE TO BE VERY CLOSE TO 200 OR MAYBE IN ONEDERLAND!

Okay, I am ready to start posting here. I feel as if I was out there in between ville...not close to 300 anymore, and not close to 200, but here I am 228 and I am sooooo ready to have a home. I do have a great home over on the exercise bicycling thread, but I have sooo wanted to post here too. I am looking at getting to 200 by Christmas. That is my goal and if I get there sooner, then great. If I don't get there by Christmas, I guess I will have to change up some things. My name is Deanna and I ride my road bike A LOT!!! I also am doing the couch to 5 K program and am starting week 4 this week. I roller blade as well. I have a lot of muscle and am thinking that maybe my tummy will be fine after all of this weight is off. I have never had a flat tummy due to surgery when I was about three. I have a scar right across my tummy about where the plastic surgery pictures of tummy tucks I have seen are. That is where my pouch starts and it has always been there, as long as I can remember. I hope to get to know some of you as we get down to the greatest of all places that we as "fatties" can get. ONDERLAND!!!!

I saw 220.8 on my scale Sunday morning but it bounced after a day of graizing.. so I'm not claiming it til I see it again! So close to the Teens!

I'm like so many of you........... getting to that 199 is such a major HEAD game goal........... I can't wait!

The original goal was onederland by Thanksgiving, but now I think it may be in a couple of weeks! OMG...I think my husband will have to call 911 the morning I see 199 :confused:

I've been 204 for the last 8 weeks. Okay, that's not true. I've been 204, then 205, then 206, then 204 again - you get the picture. FIVE STINKIN' POUNDS! I get so frustrated because the ones are right there in front of me but I can't get it. I'm taking the Halloween challenge - I'm breaking this stupid plateau if it kills me!

I hear ya, Cyndilou! That's EXACTLY what I do. I joined Curves last month and I weighed Monday on their scale and it balanced on 200 so I was thrilled but it just wouldn't let me go to 199. Of course, that was with my gym shoes on so MAYBE I'm in ONE-derful ONE-derland but I'll make sure I'm there before I really Celebrate. It's exciting!

After I hit 199 a couple of weeks ago....I thought I would be back to visit two-terville. That kind of stuff always happen to me. So far I am 193 and moving down a little every couple days. I cant believe this is for real....that the weight is coming off. I am soooooo happy!!!

      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.
