Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I finally made it!! I finally got my bodybugg to work properly and that gave me the incentive to get my butt moving. I needed it and as a result the scale was 199.8 this morning. So, close to 200 but I will take it - I have not seen the scale start with a 1 since 2001! Wow, what a great holiday gift!

Hit 199.5 yesterday and it is still there today. I attribute the extra push on weight loss to working out but not going to high on heart rate and trashing muscle. This feels like a solid fat loss.

FEEELING GOOD! 2.5 pounds to go for my Jan 1 goal of 195.

WEEE HEEEEEEEEEEE

Good on you :whoo::whoo:... you got there before I did. I haven't weighed myself for 3 days but I doubt if any weight has come off. We're still a week off from the new year so it could happen yet.

Congratulations to New_Me as well. :whoo::whoo:

Thanks everyone.

Loving - good job!

Laura - I feel your pain. I looked at the scale today and I have been working toward this mini-goal for sometime and thought that I would jump off in pure delight. Not so much.

I immediately looked at the rest of the scale (I have the dr type scale with the 'block' that you slide across the numbers) and thought to my self "good god you have a loooooooong way to go to get to goal - I have to go all the way down the damn thing!

I know it is doable but damn it seems like it will be hard!

Love the band!

I reached onederland yesterday. It felt good as I haven't been there for awhile. I was that far away to get to it, but I am a shortie, so at 199 it's still way too much!

but I'm celebrating the victory anyway.

I went shopping in my closet this a.m. in the "I haven't worn these in a long time dept" and several things fit. (Happy Dance) and I had to retire a few, too large things (more happy dancing).

I have a mini goal to get to 198 by 12/31, b/c my fingers are crossed that I can get 8 off in January to bring me to 190!

Not sure 8 is possible for me in one month, but we'll see... it's good to have goals!

So close Tracy! I have been watching your progress because you started at basically the same weight as me. My goal is a little bit lower than yours - I guess I am shorter! Good luck getting to onederland by new years - I dont think I will make it (207 today) but surely I can make it in Jan. which is just fine with me!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
