Hallelujah!!! Onederland at last!

I know that there are many of my MFP friends who have been waiting to hear this news; but none of you are more happy than me...and maybe my hubbie Ed. His first word was "Hallelujah!", followed by a big hug and a kiss. Then, he ran for the camera to document the special moment.

Yes, I was naked for the weigh in; but I would not let Ed take a snapshot above the ankles, until I was wrapped back up in a towel. This is not a pornographic website, and I am not nude model, no matter what Special Ed may think. :blushing: :noway:

...and for those of you who have been wanting to see a newer photo of the newer, sleeky, slimmy and healthier Sue...here are a couple of photos of me, before we left for church this morning.

Am I happy? You better believe it. Now, I am aiming for 180 pounds, which will mark my next goal...100 pounds lost, since last year. :happy:

Remember, if this 68 year old lady can do it...SO CAN YOU!

    So happy for you. It's about time for some thinner looking clothes. The top is pretty but hides the shape you have gotten to be.

    Congratulations!! I just hit this milestone myself last week so I totally get the thrill that you are feeling. It is so amazing to see a number that does not start with 2 on the scale. I know I made a vow to never see that dreadful 2 again. Here's to seeing 180 which is my next goal too!! Keep up the great work :)

    Hallelujah!!!!

    I know. I gave away 3 more blouses and some pants to a lady in church today. So many of the tops that I bought in April are getting ridiculously big on me now. I think that I should be looking for some winter tops and plan to bag up the rest of those spring clothes for someone who is a bit bigger than me.

    It is still hard to me to believe just how quickly I have been shrinking. I had to throw away some more under panties, and even my new bras get getting loose. I believe that this former 46DD is now a C cup. There is too much room in my D bras.

    I have tears in my eyes for you! I hit a new low today myself 202.4!!

    We will journey on to 180 together.

    I know how important this knee surgery is for you. At this rate you will have it in no time.

    Getting the weight off will be good for my knees as well!

    Good evening to ya.

    You look great! Even your glasses are getting too big for your face! I know that my glasses fall off of me now. It's always nice when you can give your clothes to people in need that will appreciate them! Great job on hitting Onederland. I just recently hit it myself so I know how happy you must feel.

    Such happy news for your friends who've been cheering you on -- and being inspired by you. Glad to see you have your eyes firmly fixed on the next goal. Loved the pictures you posted. It won't be long before you'll be selecting sleeker tops to go with your sleeker figure!

    Sue...check out imergemagazine.com. My sister and I have a column called Gott Fashion??? You would love it. This is my sister who you remind me so much of, your personalities are amazingly similar. We just did an article in the September issue about bra shopping, it's helpful, and funny!

    Fantastic loss, you look great!
  • Thank you for some wonderful motivation! I'm hoping to get below 200 for my first goal also...it just seems the pounds are coming off SO SLOW that it is already discouraging (and I've only been at this for a couple of weeks)! You have done a wonderful job!!! Congratulations to you! If you keep it up you're going to fade away to nothing!
