I finally made it...I AM IN ONDERLAND.......
 
I got on the scale and it read 199 this morning.. I thought I was seeing things so I got off and reweighed.. yep  199...

This is the first time in 17 years that I have been under 200 lbs.. in 1993 I got down to 195 very shortly while on Phentermine.. but as soon as the Phentermine was stopped I gained back up into the 200's again.. I have actually been above 200 lbs most all of my life.. only dipping under a few times while on extreme diets to only gain it back..and eventually up into the 300's .. well now I am under 200 and I am not going back.. I am making my home right here in Onderland and I am not moving again.. Good bye Twoterville forever....

I want to thank all of you for all the support and encouragement you have given me so far.. It has really helped me stay the course..It has really been a struggle all the way..  I know I have a long way to go still ( my ideal weight is 104.. haha.. no way.. but I am hoping to get to 125 to at least) so yes I still have about 74 lbs to go.. and I am going to continue to need all of you.. I could never have done this without you guys.. you all mean so much to me.. when I got on the scale this morning and realized it was true I started to cry.. tears of Joy... I thanked God this great tool and being able to work it with the strength from him.. and I thanked God for all my friends that have supported me in this journey.. (that is you guys.).  Thank you Thank you Thank you..

God Bless all of you..
Have a great day..

Huggs....

Teresa,

That is great, when you said on the phone you were at 201, I knew it would be just around the corner for you.   I'm so, so proud of you and what you have done and not giving up when things look very dim. 

I will always be there for you as you have been for me. 

Smiles & Hugs,
Teresa B
