WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I was really good yesterday, stuck to my plan of Turkey with squash and peppers (helps its just me and DH too) and this morning, I'm down another 8/10 of a pound.

That makes 77 pounds total loss and puts me at 202! a084.gif

Ok--now I'd love love love love to make it below 200 by Dec. 7th--that's my B-day :blushing:

    I am sooo happy for you Shore! You WILL be in Onederland for your birthday. You can do it! I am so proud of you for sticking to your plan for Thanksgiving dinner. I was a BAD girl and can feel it this morning. My stomach says 'yuck'. I'm not even weighing in this morning because I don't want to see what the scale says. But, today is a new day. I had my fun yesterday and today I'm back to being healthy. :bigsmile:

    I like that!

    I can't wait until I become a citizen of Onederland!

    Does it have a National Anthem? How about a flag or motto?

    Hmmmm...

    A national anthem. Let's write one!

    A long time ago...
    My chest heaved with panting breaths....
    As I walked up a slight incline or up a set of steps...

    Then, I say Hey!...
    I want to see someone different in that evil mirror!...
    I jumped online...
    And saw a link...
    It said join for freeeeeee...
    I said, 'yeah right!'....
    But thought, 'what the heckkkkk'...
    MyFitness Pal said 'let's get started'...

    [to the tune of "O Tannenbaum" I think :tongue: ]

    Oh, Onederland, oh Onederland!
    Oh, how I've longed to see you.
    Your lower numbers call to me,
    And, I wonder if I'll ever see,
    That scale drop down below the 2s
    and to that number bid adieu!

    Oh, Onederland, oh Onederland,
    I've struggled to lose pounds
    It's taken time and saying "no"
    and waiting for results to show.
    The day shall come when I can say
    I'm in Onederland, oh happy day!

    Good for you...I'm up 2 pounds from yesterday, but my official weigh in day isn't until Tuesday, so I am counting on being down by then! Today is Christmas decorating day...that's going to be quite a work out - lugging totes and stringing lights.

    PS - Did I let all of you know how THANKFUL I am for all of you and this site? If not, thanks for all the support and sharing in this really personal journey...it means a lot.

    Oh Shorerider! That was perfect! Have you ever thought about being a song writer? And to the Tannenbaum tune was just perfect. :laugh: :laugh:

    With that national anthem playing in your head, how can you not get to onederland by Dec. 7th?

    Everytime you start to eat something that you know you really don't want, just pix me singing, Oh Onederland..., Oh Onederland...

    Sweeeet, :smile: you can do this. I would really buckle down this next week and count everything and be riding that bike. And just keep in mind how much healthier you are this year then last year. You can do this.
