Could it be???

OMG, I just did my weekly weigh-in, and I AM IN ONEDERLAND!!! Can this be real? I did not lose any weight last week, and only 2 pounds the week before. I lost 10 lbs in a freaking WEEK? I am having trouble believing my scale. I can't *believe* I am under 200lbs! I honestly can't remember being under 200. Holy crap, I am still in shock. I have waited so long for this. I keep remembering all the times I wished I was thinner and prettier and how it would feel. It's so amazing to me that I am getting there. I still look fat and big (I'm 5'9" so I'll always look big) but I am getting more normal. I am wearing XL shirts now, but still in 18 pants. Some of those 18's are too big, but one of my jeans isn't. I get dishearted about that sometimes. I don't want to be big, I wanna be petite! Unfortunately, we can't afford to buy me new clothes, so I have to keep on with the baggy 18's (and 20's & 22's). I've always hated wearing baggy clothes; even when I was my biggest. So this will be a challenge for me. DH keeps reminding me that I started out wearing size 30 jeans (and they were getting *tight*) and 4X shirts. I have come a very long way. You guys have been so awesome and wonderful and I've gotten so much encouragement and inspiration from you all. I love reading your updates on your profiles and seeing the excitement in the messages. You all are the absolute best and I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Warm hugs, Lisa 360/345/196!!!/160

See.....feeling better already!! Aren't you glad you stopped by today!! We love you Alicia! I'm always happy to see your face pop up on the message board. Hope you feel better ASAP!! C Leigh

Lisa ~ Ain't "one"der land grand! You're doing a great job...I think it's time you sent in a new picture for your posts....you're looking fabulous... Maria 272/164.6/155

Congrats Lisa! You are doing so great! I was just checking out your profile and you are looking great too! Keep it up beautiful! Tim

Honey i am so happy for you! I just visted your profile and your pictures are incredable!! You look beautiful! As far as the clothes go can you get to a thrift store and try on some pants in a smaller size and see just how small you are! I wish I could send you some things but honey you are smaller now than me!.. just beautiful!! Peace Mo

Lisa!!! WOOHOO!!!! CONGRATS DEAR!!! I'm SO happy for you! Welcome to Onederland! HUGS Kimberly

Lisa, Welcome to Onderland! And you are absolutely beautimus! Your husband is a lucky man. I am so glad that this happened for you right now. And also, just so you know...I have been down too. I just started taking Wellbutrin XL, b/c my Zoloft wasn't working for me. I think it is helping me already, but I have bad days too. We'll make it through. Love you, Cristi

Lisa, Looked at your profile today. I didn't read all of it but skimmed most of it and read the last month or so and looked at pics. You look so wonderful....and I know how thrilled you are to have reached Onederland! I know someone that had surgery in October that started at around 390 and has lost 80 pounds. She is excited to be so close to the 200's. I will have to tell her about you and how far you have gone. I am sure it will give her a lot of encouragement since she feels like she has a long ways to go. A lot of people in my area pass clothing around as they lose it at support groups. I know I have given a lot of clothes out. Of course most were bigger than you wear but later I may have some that would fit. Most of what I have right now that I wore last summer I am going to have taken up for this year...the way they are made it can be done because they are baggy type linen flood pants. Anyway, you might at least try posting and see if anyone has anything they want to get rid of. One lady in my area mailed some of her outgrown clothes to someone else. I will keep my eyes open for you. You are doing great....keep your chin up. Pam

Lisa, Holy cow girl!!! I just checked out your profile. I can't believe the new you!!!! You look like a different person! If your before picture wasn't there next to your new one, I wouldn't know that it was you!! You look beautiful!! I'd send you my old clothes, but they wouldn't help you!! They are 18's. Anything smaller--I'm still wearing. Keep up the fantastic work!!! You are such an inspiration! C Leigh
