ONEDERLAND wooo hooooo!!

Wow I can't believe I'm finally there! 199 on the scale this morning! So that means I've lost 90.5 lbs since the morning of surgery and lost 15.5 lbs in the month of March! Lord have mercy I love this pouch and my new life! I am truly blessed. It's funny though now that I think about it, I'm thrilled out of my witts to weigh 199 this morning, and about 20 years ago when I weighed this, I was so upset with myself and depressed, was struggling so hard to lose weight and control my eating habits. Who knew I'd actually go from there to super morbidly obese, get gastric bypass surgery and now rejoice at weighing 199!!! And of course the best part is - I'm not DONE!!!! I'll continue this journey and hopefully reach my goal of 145! So thank you OH family for being here every day - it means so much and helps SO much, it's hard to describe in words. Carol!!!! You just won the Super Bowl where are you going to go? ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooo hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love, Carol

Carol...way to go...you are doing great...now it gets hard...the last pounds to goal...I have been on the plateau buster diet for 6 days...and can't wait until the 10th. day...it is a diet and you must follow it...but went from 226.8...to 222.4 so far...so not that bad...I only lost 3 pounds last month...and really want to get all the weight off by the year mark...so I have about 37 pounds to goal......285/222.4/185...but heck we will do it.... Dennis

Dennis - thanks for the kind words. I know it's going to be rougher going the next 6 months and I probably won't have another 15 lb month, but yes we WILL do it!!! I'm glad the plateau buster diet is there for us if needed. I've been following your posts on it and really glad to see you are sticking to it and seeing results!!! Take care!!!! Carol

Keep up the good work Carol, you are an encouragement to us all, if we all stick together we will do this. We have been given a gift (kind of like being born again) lets use it and support each other in our journeys, the way we do.........Dean.....
