    Last week I was 0.5 lbs away.

    This morning, 4.5 lbs.

    SIGH.

    I think it's time to threaten that scale with a sledgehammer...

    I have 5 more lbs to go!! I'm trying not to focus on those 5lbs because I feel like it will make it WAY worse. It has been a long time coming (My highest was 273 when I started MFP I was 263) and I know it will be so emotional when I get there. I wanted to be there by the time I go visit my family the weekend of October 18th and the weekend I run my 5K but I'm trying to take that pressure off. I just broke a mini plateau so it's nice to feel closer!

    Just got there today started out at around 248 in January and weighed in today at 197.6

    We're twins! I started (this time) at 248 in January and weighed 196.6 on Sunday. First time I've been under 200 in at least a decade. Still in disbelief I actually made it.

    Amazing congrats to you both!

    I started my journey on the 15th November 2012, weighing 321lb.... I hit ONEderland on the 22nd of January this year.

    No matter how far it may seem, you will get there if you just keep going.... I'm now only 3.75lb away from my 153lb goal weight.

    Never stop trying, because as long as you're trying - you're not failing.

    Good luck xXx

    You'll get there!! :-)

    I have been at this for a long while, so I hit onederland back in January, but boy did I hate it last year at the holidays because throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas I was bouncing around between like 202-206 and thought I would never see 199 on the scale!

    Congratulations to everyone for all their loses. So many people are soooo close, to onderland. It will be the first time in about about 16 years, to be in the 100's. It will only be the beginning, I'm planning on getting back to the size I was, for most of my life, somewhere between 135-145. I just need to be patient. To all of you, I wish you continued success, no matter what hundredth you trying to reach. Thanks for the support.

    I want to watch this thread, too. So exciting being so close to that magical number!

    I started at 243, down to 201.9, hoping to be in onederland by the end of the week. I haven't seen a one at the beginning of my weight in more than 7 years! Good luck, everyone!

    I have not been in the 100's in about 40 years. Have 30 pounds to go, down from 325 pounds. If I get real serious I think I can get there by January 1, 2015. That is my goal anyway. Good luck to all of you.

    @mom2- you are my MFP twin, lol.

    I started at 240 myself, and I estimate its been 7 or 8 years since I've seen a 1 as the first number on the scale.

    I stepped on today- 200.0. Yes, point zero. Grrr!

    NOTHING I could do would change it to 199.9. And trust me I tried everything, hahahaa.
    I'll try again later in the week.

    I am a little over 60 lbs away. It's been about 7 or so years since I've seen Onederland. Acouple of weeks before August, I wasn't in Twosville, either. I will try to stay on track. Onederland! Here. I. Come.

    Got there awhile ago, but totally understand the desire and sometimes frustration with not getting there soon enough! Good luck to you and everyone else on the Onderland journey! You can do it and with the support on here, it's much easier!

    Ugh! I feel your frustration! Just give me the darn 1. Tonight is pizza night, so it won't happen tomorrow for me. I hope you see it the next time you weigh!

    Today I weighed in at 201.6, I'm almost there, can't wait. I'll be so glad to see a one at the beginning. I have been so patient with my weight loss up until I got close to onderland, now I'm ready for it yesterday.

    I finally hit Onederland a few weeks ago! I hadn't even been close to the one's since 1998. I started at 276lbs at the end of November 2013 and nearly wept for joy the day I saw 199lbs. It's hard work, but worth every struggle, set back and step forward. Keep up the good work! You deserve it! :)

    I have about 60 lbs to go. I've already lost ~50 lbs in 90 days. I think it would be really, really neat to start the new year in the 100s. I can't remember the last time I weighed under 200lbs... Onward!

    45 to go. Would love to be there before end of March when I will be seeing my best friend (and she doesn't know I'm on this journey). But I know even if I'm just close then I'll still surprise her with the new me!
