TheProfessor 378 Posted September 5, 2015 Well guess who stepped on the scale this morning to 198.4 pounds? Me, fellow WLS friends! I am officially in "ONE-DERLAND!" Huzzah!!!!!!! I started 8 months ago at 259 lbs. One lap-band and whole lotta good exercise and careful eating later, and I am finally below 200 lbs for the first time in 15 years. I am fighting back tears at this very moment! Had to share this success. This is a big one for me. I reached a goal of getting in the 100's before students came back to the College. I'm not much of a goal-setter, but I'm here! Woo Woo! If I can do this, (I am the QUEEN of lack of willpower) ANYONE can do this!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheProfessor 378 Posted September 9, 2015 @@hmj2015 You will get there soon enough! I've taken it by by day but honestly looking back, the time has flown, and the work and wait of 8 months to get here (down 62 pounds) has been worth every second. Took me 15 years to pack on the extra 100 pounds, and only 8 months to get rid of over half of it? That's a great deal to me! Woo wee, feeling so good. La la la!

jfc193 718 Posted September 22, 2015 May I add my congratulations, I am back in ONE-Derland but the last time was about 6 years ago when my band was to tight and I got really cocky and took everything for granted and after 4 years made it back up to 250. So even though it is possible regain the weight back it is even more possible to get back on track. Now being back in ONE-derland means a whole lot more My Band is a good tool and gentle reminder to make more good decisions then bad ones. Keep up the good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
