Scaling down to onederland

[KarenWV]

I wanted to share my happy news with my online friends, w/o sounding like I'm bragging. Pre-surgery starting weight was 234 one week before surgery. My weekly weigh-in at home this morning was...200.0!!! 1 lb away from onederland!

OMG I cannot believe this. A lot of my wt loss success is due to my good friends here. Thank y'all so much for all of your support & encouragement for everyone here. It's the gift that keeps on giving! ❤❤

That is awesome! I am so happy for you. You do not sound like you are bragging at all and have every right to be thrilled! One day I hope to be able to post that too. That is my goal.

Are we there yet?

Idk, I force myself only to weigh myself once weekly on Mondays (my surgery day), so I won't know until tomorrow. I went off track a bit this week, but it'll be a good week starting tomorrow. Thanks for asking.

I stepped on my scale this morning and . . . Onederland is here!!! 198.6!!! OMG I know NSVs are so important too, but there is something so satisfying to see those numbers in black & white. Of course I cut my nails, shaved my head (& everything else), and blew my nose half a dozen times to get here.

Thanks for y'all's support and encouragement throughout my journey so far.

Way to go!!

Fantastic Karen!!!
It is downhill from here (sort of, well at least onederland)

Totally agree about seeing the numbers in black & white, it keeps me honest. One time I was beating myself up about a 5lb increase a few months ago, then when I got my fat @$$ of the scale it wasn't 5 it was more like 9!!!!! I was hiding from myself. Admittedly I think I have a scale habit, but after avoiding it and avoiding my own reality for so many years, I need to face the scale's truth. I don't blow my nose 6 times, but THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, might be worth .4lbs or something.

Congratulations Karen, that is wonderful!!!

 

[missyinacage]

Congrats, Karen. You've worked hard for it and here it is! So happy for you. That number is a real milestone.

Great job for you and your effort. Crosses fingers my day will come when it comes.

Great job for you and your effort. Crosses fingers my day will come when it comes.

Thank you. Your day absolutely will come. I didn't think I was doing enough to get this far, but evidently my body decided otherwise. I just need to remember this moment when I try to do everything right & the scale says otherwise.
