Drum roll.......off to Onederland

Yep, I finally made it....198....Yeeeaaaahhhhhh....Yippy Skippy (John does cartwheel, and throws his back out...not really) That makes a total of 149 that I have lost all together. I'm at a point where my doc said that I could stop and still be successful, but I'm planning to hit 185 and eventually go back up to 190 to use that as my threshold weight. Thanks to all for the support over my LONG stall of weeks and weeks. My next goal is the 190 goal weight....just 8 more to go. John

Welcome to Onederland John!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Now, don't get tooooooo crazy on the weight loss. You don't want to look like a "bag of bones" like my "d"h tells me constantly. LOL With a 149 weight loss I think you're WAY beyond successful! Good luck with the final 8 pounds!!!!! * Cyndi * Member of the Honorary Onederland Welcoming Committee!

Thanks Cyndi, You have done so well and have stayed very focused. 149 just sounds like so much weight when I really stop to think about it. Thanks for your continual support here on the May board. I've got 8 more to go and 13 to hit my final goal of 185. Then I can bounce between 185 and 190. My plan is that anything over 188 and I have to get refocused. I pretty well know how to do this now without using my food diary like I used to. I keep my foods mentally at about 500 cals for both breakfast and luch combined. Then I just eat a moderate amount in the afternoon and evening. Slow and steady hits the mark.... Thanks again. John

Welcome to Onederland............you look great!!! Congratulations!! ~~Betsy

Thanks Betsy, It sure seemed like it took me a long time to get here. I lurked at the 203-205 mark for the better part of 6 weeks and then BAM....10 pounds gone. My body is so weird that way. Thanks again. John

Oh, John! How wonderful for you! Onderland is a good place. I'm sure you'll love it here! Happy Easter to you and your family, ~April

Thanks April..I'm so glad to finally be here..I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Thanks for the Easter wishes..and kind Easter wishes back to you and your family. John

John that is what happened to me as well. I circled and circled since reaching 205.....but hey I will take it. doesn't it feel great! Congratulations!!! Nice to make it to the bench with someone!!! To celbrate my sister in law is treating me to be able to dress up and go to box seats for the symphony tonight. Can't wait! Donna

Way to go Donna...I'll bet the symphony was great...and comfortable seats too. John

Congratulations on breaking through that stall and finally making it, John! You are my hero! -- T.Rob
