Onederland!!!
This morning I got on the scale and hit 199.5.... Onederland!!!!!!!
I wish it would have been a solid 198 but thats OK I'll take it!
Many people here say they can't believe some of the weight loss they have achieved.
If I ever get to 125 I'll never believe it. Actually I would be amazed at 140. They say the first 100 pounds is a gift the surgeon gives to you. The rest is the gift you give to yourself. If this is true my GBS weight loss started at 242. That would be 140 if I lose 100 pounds from GBS. I could lose additional weight from surgery at 140 and easily hit the 120's. Time will tell. My daughter is visiting from Sault Ste Marie this weekend and is very pleased with my 60 pound weight loss. It was much easier to go out and do things with my daughter and I kept up with her just fine. Although we often focus on the scale these non scale victories are actually some of the most important. My next goal has to be 188. Why such a strange goal? Well 10 years ago after both my parents died suddenly of heart attacks I felt my own mortality and went on a 14 month Atkins diet losing 75 pounds. Although I could not keep up the strict low carb regime I made it to 188. I wished I could have gone farther. Once I am there again GBS Surgery will hopefully take me beyond what I could do for myself. 188 is not too far away, maybe another month or so. I can't wait!

Congrats my friend. Welcome to Onderland!!! Its a great place to be....
I\'m right there with you. I hit 199.5 too, and I get frustrated when the next day it says 200 again. UGH! But we\'re getting there! Keep up the good work!
Thanks guys
I have had a really persistant and reacurring UTI which I really believe has been slowing my weight loss and it\'s back. The next day I hit 199.
I thought for sure it would bounce back up to 200 the next day as well but it did not. Possibly tomorrow as I have been drinking and not peeing that much. I will try to grt in to my specialist tomorrow.
