    I'm with you! It's been awhile since I've been there too. I just joined last week and i'm really close to getting through that barrier. Long way to go to where I want to be but we have both made the commitment to get there and that's half the battle. Keep up the great work.

    Hello everyone in ONEderland - I just arrived! 90.09 kgs which is 198.6 lbs! Woohoo, I would do a happy dance except I feel sick with a sore throat :-(

    Cheering on those who are working towards the gateway to this happy place :smile:

    My next goal to get my BMI out of the obese range - to the overweight range - so that's 83.7 kgs or 184 lbs

    Congrats to all who've made it under 200! Those who are not there yet...it is definitely coming soon so don't give up!

    When I weighed in this Monday, I'm under 200 (198.6). I want to make sure I don't gain it back because I had gotten to 197 and few weeks ago and then gained it back (had a bad week).

    I am not far over 200, but I'm just so excited to really work at getting under 200. It's only a number, but its also a doorway.
    And once I'm through that door, I wan't to close it and throw away the key, and never go back there. :smile:

    ALOHA. I SO KNOW THE FEELING OF THAT...I COULDN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME LOSE ANY WEIGHT EVEN IF I TRIED...WELL I WASN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH. I'VE FINALLY DECIDED TO GIVE IT ALL THAT I COULD AND HAVE LOST 33+ POUNDS SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2011. I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS THAT I'VE MADE AND THE DAY I SEEN THE SCALE UNDER 200lbs. I WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN....THE GUY FROM THE GYM WAS LAUGHING AND TRIPPING OUT...CAUSE I WAS SO ECSTATIC BY THE RESULT....EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE..IT'S JUST HOW BAD YOU WANT IT...GOOD LUCK ON THIS JOURNEY THAT YOU'VE DECIDED TO TAKE:-)

    Love the idea of ONEderland! Heading that way, slowly. You'll see the fireworks and hear the cheering when I get there. My first mini goal.
    I'm not new to MFP, just fell off the wagon and lost sight of it for awhile. Glad to be back, my body will thank me,

    I have been there. Finally under the mark and it gives you more will than ever to not get back over it. Think of each pound toward it an accomplishment.

    I have also been pushing myself to get under the 200lbs mark, and recently I have achieved this and It feels great to pass that benchmark, I wish you the best of luck with your weightloss keep it up you deserve every bit of it.

    Hello, I think I will go by the name BlackDiamondBarbie. It may seem strange, but I have tried and failed so many times to lose weight, but after my trip to Korea last year, I learned something valuable. I didn't really try. It was always there is something or someone more important to deal with than losing the pounds that will eventually kill me. Cause come on, what's a larger than normal slice of your favorite dessert compared to that far off idea of Diabetes? Sick and sad, I now know. My father now has Diabetes and his diet has always been healthier than mine. That was truly a kick in the caboose.

    I chose the name Black because it means knowledge and wisdom. Those are some things that I haven't really had.
    Black Diamond because they are the most challenging of activities.
    And Lastly, Barbie because I ran away from being pretty, socially wonderful and popular. You heard that right, I ran away from it. People tend to like me and I have been told that I am quite easy on the eyes, but after an incident in my youth, I ran from what I thought it would mean to be popular and well-liked. Turns out that girl was a moron and talking out the back of her head, but there you go.

    So, now that I finally have made up my mind to stop running, stop hiding and stop trying to dabble in being the fringely popular, I really can't wait to see the scale under 200lbs.

    By the way, I am joining this site at 320lbs. So, you know that I expect to be held to my decision. Please, help me. I am asking for support. Because, even though I have made this decision, I am still scared. But, they say making the decision and taking the first step, it just gets easier to turn around and face your fears.

    Sincerely,
    BlackDiamondBarbie

    Me too. I literally check the scale every morning to see where I'm at. I fluctuate between 201 and 199. I just cant wait to get out of the 2s for good.
