It's been over 20 years since I have weighed less than 200 lbs. But on Monday I weighed in at 198.....Life just keeps getting better and better!

For those that have significant weight to lose. You can do this! Take one day at a time and do not let one bad meal turn into several. And MOVE MOVE MOVE.....it was so hard for me to realize that it wasn't food my body was craving it was movement. I promise that if you can dedicate yourself to the gym 3-4 times a week or even brisk walking....you will start to crave it too.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL in your healthy journeys!

    congrats! I remember hitting Onederland and being so happy :) I'm now at 174 - 12 more pounds and I'll have lost 100. I agree 100% with "dont let one bad meal turn into several". For years that was my biggest downfall - any little slipup and I'd give up and fall off the wagon. Now, I just let it go. One bad meal, even if its really bad, is NOT the end of the world. :)

    Welcome to

    ♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥ ♪♪♪ ø¤º°`°º¤ø ONEDERLAND! `°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°` ♪♪♪ ♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

    ...where birds are singing and bees are buzzing and rainbows streak the sky....
    ...where (sugar-free) lollipops and lemon drops dot the trees....
    ...where parades of people pass waving streamers shouting "You're the best!"...
    ...where magic mirrors reflect beautiful smiling images of yourself...
    ...where it's truly hard to convey to those who don't understand
    the glorious impossible once-unimaginable expansively grand
    feeling of dancing leaping trumpeting and doing a hand-stand
    because you finally at long last with hard work long-planned
    have entered the gold and diamond-sparkled gates of ONEDERLAND!

    Yay! ONEderland is home sweet home!
