Onederland!

Ok, so this is the first time I have shared anything on MFP. I really enjoy reading other's stories and acomplishments. They keep me motivated in a way that I didn't think I needed.
So, on that note, I have been heavy all my life. Even at my thinnest (just out of high school) I was still the "fat" one of our friends. Over the years I have just gotten bigger without even realizing. At my heaviest I was 240 (I'm 5'8"). I was successful in losing some of the weight a few years ago (I got down to 215) but let it come back. I started my current journey at 230 in September 2011. I joined MFP in November 2011.
MFP has changed the way I look at food and think about my excercise. I have always been very active and thought that was good enough. This was obviously not the case.
I now, with great pleasure, can announce that I have reached Onederland. My drivers license is now wrong in a good way. I have a long way to go (at least 50 more!), but this was this biggest milestone I had. I haven't seen Onederland in over 15 years. I now know that I can make it.

Congratulations - funny you should mention the drivers license thing....I must fess up. Last time I renewed my license which was 3 years ago, the weight was 126 pounds. They didn't question me so I didn't suggest that it be changed to the 174 that I was at the time. I have to renew again in a year so I am pressing to make that 126 again so I don't have to worry about THEM suggesting anything!!!
Keep up the good work!0 -
