A day or so ago I told all MFP's that I had bought a one way ticket to onederland, a place I had not been since around 1995 or so. Since I was so close and didn't want to jinx myself, I projected my arrival date to be 10/21/2011 which I knew was attainable. Little did I know that I would redeem that ticket today. When I stepped on the scale this morning it read 199.0, down 3.2 pounds since last Friday. I am beyond overjoyed. I joined MFP 131 days ago and now my life is forever changed. Another 40+ pounds to go and I will have reached my goal. Today is a good day and I just wanted to share it with you all. Have a happy and healthy day.

If I knew how to post a pic I would :laugh: .

    All Aboard!!! 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!

    Wonderful for you!
