Commitment

Ladies! i am hereby publicly commiting that i will do everything in my power this week to hit ONDERLAND... the first time i posted about being "almost" there was probably 3 weeks ago AND i still have 2lbs to go as of this day......that is unacceptable and i am certain that i have not been doing everything that i can to hit it..... Whew! I feel better. I WANT to CONGRATULATE all of you who have recently( and not recently) hit onderland and for the LOVE of everything holy i hope that I am not destined to weigh 201 for the REST of my life....... hugs to ALL.......

I know you can do it and I can't wait to do a happy dance with you!!!

Let it take its own course, when we stress so much about something it just takes longer. Take it one day at the time and you will be in onederland before you know it. It took me a while to get to less than 200 lbs but it sure was worth the wait. Beatriz

Hey Dawn, I think your eats always look really good. Many times I am amazed at how CONTROLLED you are with your eats. I think you are doing good. Everyday is not gonna be perfect. It used to be for me before 6 months out, I am not gonna lie. I truly had PERFECT days now that my hunger is back and I can eat more.. they just aren't "perfect" as much as I would like them to be.. no way no how.. at least in my eyes but I am so critical on myself. I am learning to let go some but not to the point that the demons come back into my life that haunted me preop. It is hard.. now I know what the longer out postops meant when they said "enjoy your honeymoon while it lasts" sigh.. it does get much harder! And we are human. So like Beatriz said.. take it a day at a time and try not to stress, I bounced around onederland for a while too, our bodies just have to tease us like that.. it isn't fair but you **WILL** get there and we will all be here to celebrate with you (that is a protein shake btw)! Have a great day Dawn! *hugs*

ok the protein shake comment made me literally lol! oh BTW ....i forgot to mention...my dr gave me an appetite suppresant! havent picked it up yet.....still at the walgreens. I dont consider myself extremely hungry.......but she said it should help....i will let you know...Greg and i are going to pick up on the way home so in a couple of days i should have some feedback! THANKS for the support !

Dawn, You have CLAIMED it and will be VICTORIOUS!! I know how you feel, I am aggressive with my tracking, I weigh daily and have charts comparing weekly, monthly, etc. I know that I stayed for about 5 weeks in the 170's , 160's but stayed 9 weeks in the 150's. It was driving me crazy but I finally broke through and now been in the 140's since 9/5/07 (Labor day, what hard WORK).. I wanted to be at 140 by the time I have my tummy tuck on Monday, but will keep my fingers, toes and eyes crossed to hit 145 by Monday. I was at 148 today, but only because of the seafood I ate late yesterday. I have to remember that when I eat late in the evening, the next morning's weigh in may be slightly altered, I should know that a lot from doing weigh****chers for 3 years! Please post as soon as you hit ONEderland, you will be sooo excited. Good luck to you and we'll be expecting this post any day now. Angela

MONDAY!? your tummy tuck is monday....that is the best thing i have heard since Amy hit ONEDERLAND! YIPEEEEE! I am ALSO aggressive with my tracking- I am a financial analyst so it is natural that i have have charts comparing weekly, monthly, year over year and i do also weigh daily..... You guys are all so sweet ---thank goodness for you all.......I have said this before but it is really nice to know people who KNOW what you are going thru. I have never in my life known a better group of ladies who know what is UP......at least in my world. I will be thinking of you on Monday....and anxiously waiting for a report on how things go!

Yes, I am scheduled for Monday 9/24/07 at 730am. I am tooo excited, getting everything ready at home so that I can come home to clean house and clean underwear!! LOL. I have to close everything at work so that someone can take over in my absence so I will be working some mad late hours between now and Saturday. I will check in with you guys before I get ready to go to the surgery center. Angela

Angela: This is ALL good information to learn, I've been at my weight now for 4 weeks, and have not been used to this happening. SO, thanks for the support and data that we can eventually drop more weight if we stick to it!~ Megan P.S. You're glowing these days!

Hi, Dawn...You're SO close and with renewed commitment, how can you miss? Love that you were able to put this feeling into words. Maybe you should note the date so when you are at GOAL, you can look back and smile. Have a great day! Ro
