. . . 'cause I'm in ONEderland!!!!

Scale says 199.0 this morning, my friends! (And I had "cheated" and jumped on the scale yesterday morning, where it was at 201 for the 10th day in row or some such thing.) ONEderland! AND the 70 pound club!!

I actually let my husband see the number on the scale while I was standing on it! We've been married 20 years, and that's the first time that's ever happened, LOL.

Oh my. 199.0 This is the first time in 30 years I've been below 200 pounds.

And I couldn't have done it without Medifast, and most importantly without Nancy, and Tim, and Sylvia, and Christy, and Rae, and bk, and Dean, and . . . oh dang, if I list everybody's name I'm sure to leave somebody out, and I couldn't have done it without everyone of you out there rooting for me, especially through this last two week plateau when I really was thinking that I wanted to just stop doing this for awhile.

199 is very motivating -- I can just about guarantee I'll be 100% compliant this week, and next week, because there's NO WAY I'm gonna let that scale slide back up over the 200 mark!

If there's anybody lurking out there, wondering whether or not to try this, and whether or not this works, all I can say is: DO IT! It works if you let it work, and I am proof positive.

This is silly, but I'm actually a bit teary. I never thought it would happen.

Thank you, my friends. Thank you for being there on this journey, and for holding me accountable and giving me support.

199.0. Oh my.

Hi 24K:

I'm so happy for you - you've got me a little teary. What a milestone in your journey, you should be so happy and proud of yourself :clapclap:

You are such an inspiration to me (and others) and you always have such "wise" words of support. Even though I don't know you, I feel like I "know" you and many others here because we are all going thru the same weight and food issues and it is SUCH a big part of our daily lives. Enjoy your accomplishment and celebrate!

Happy Day!
emma

Alice (24K), your post has me smiling like a Cheshire cat in a tree (complete with hookah pipe).

Call me a Mad Hatter..........but as impressed as I am with your arrival in ONEderland..........I am even more impressed with the fact that you had to lose the equivalent of an average 4th grader to get there.

Over 70 pounds GONE!!! WOO HOO...now THAT is indeed impressive!!

I am assuming that you have been continuing to take long brisk walks as you said in previous posts...........that walking is the secret ingredient for when the scale stalls out......works every time.

Getting below the 2's was a MAJOR hurdle.........and YOU MADE IT!! I have a feeling you will slide on down to your goal weight in record time now.

.......as the old Jefferson Airplane song said............"Go ask Alice..........when she was just SMALL"

oh.......and Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee said to tell you "Congrats".........the Queen of Hearts is jealous as HECK.......so watch out for her........she is dangerous when angry.

What a cute message (Call me Alice...) for such a monumental feat! Congratulations!

LilMsTexas · by **LilMsTexas** » June 26th, 2005, 3:09 pm

Dear sweet "Alice"......congratulations dear friend. I've been sitting here for a while wondering exactly what I want to say, or rather how I want to say it.

I can only imagine the feeling of accomplishment you must feel today. I am especially proud of the fact that you are strong enough emotionally now to completely share your journey and life with your husband. Now he can completely join in all the fun as he sees you melt away before his very eyes.

Once you get into the 180's I think you will feel completely confident that you will never see the "2s" again. I know everytime I break a barrier I need it to be far far away before I feel confident. Right now I am sooooooooo hoping for at LEAST 149 before surgery. I just want to see the 140's soooooooo badly on my own....BEFORE the surgery. Why do these numbers mean so much to us? Oh crud.....not THAT subject again! Just forget I said that.

By the way "Alice" if that is really your name

what the heck IS your name?? lol

I wish I could be there with you to celebrate today. I hope you do something special for yourself. I will dance around the room and do the happy dance in a minute.......my kids already think I'm crazy anyway.

I've been trying to finish this post for the past 30 minutes now. Good grief......kids climbing all over me lol

I just want you to know how proud I am for you and I want to hear alllllllllllllll about how you celebrated with that awesome new body of yours

Love and hugs,
Christi

Dear Alice,
psssst....don't tell everyone, but my eyes are a little misty too.

What a journey you've been on, but can you think of a better one?

We just walked in the door from Utah, pretty well drained, but I had to at least give you a big cyber hug for entering onederland.
:hug:

Aint it fun getting healthy....
