Countdown to ONEderland!

[robijax]

Hi there! graemlins/wave.gif

I've never participated in a countdown before so I'm not exactly sure how this works but I'm sure I can figure it out. I am currently at 210.4 and just CAN'T WAIT to get to onderland. For any newbies out there, onederland is that wonderful place where your weight begins with the number 1 rather than the number 2. You really have to have experienced being over 200 pounds to appreciate the joy that onederland brings. smile.gif

So, with 10.6 pounds to go, I'm thinking this will take be between 5 and 10 weeks. I weigh in on Sundays.

Anyone care to join me????

[dawmich]

I will join you. graemlins/wave.gif I need to lose 10.9 to by in Onerland. I weigh in on Friday nights so I wil post later.

Thanks for starting this
Dawn

[imported_jana]

I would love to join this challenge!! Onderland is finally within my reach. I weigh in at home on saturdays so I will post tomorrow on how much more I need to lose. Good luck everyone!!!

[Jersey]

I'm in!

I'm at 211 so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I weigh in on Thursday evenings so I'll post Friday mornings.

[ebonyrose]

I would love to join, I am a newcomer that is very close to the onederland. I will make the 1st 25 lbs at the same time. graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif

[KimR]

I would like to join too,my W/I is on Wed. at work,so I will post on Wed. nights...
Thanks, KimR smile.gif

[Debnicu]

Count me in. I have a way to go but I can't wait until that 1st # is a 1.I weigh in on Weds.so I will keep you posted. smile.gif

[Paris Madeleine]

I've still got 20 pounds yet but I am rooting for you all! graemlins/bcbsalute.gif graemlins/bcbsalute.gif graemlins/bcbsalute.gif :D

[imported_jana]

I lost 2lbs this week so I have 7lbs to go to onederland!!!!!

[robijax]

Hi Guys! graemlins/wave.gif

I have a Sunday weigh in so I've already had my meeting this week - I'm down 2.6! Woo Hoo! smile.gif

That puts me at 207.8, making me 8 pounds away from ONEderland! Plus, I am only .7 away from my 20 pound mark so I should get that next week. The bad thing is that since next Sunday is Easter my meeting is cancelled so I will have to find somewhere to weigh in on Monday.

Looks like there are 7 of us signed up for the challenge so far:

Robijax (me) 207.8
Dawn 209.2
Jana 206.5
Jersey 211
Ebonyrose 202 SOOOOO Close!!!
KimR 225.2
Debbie 216.2

Thanks for joining me in this part of my journey. Hopefully we will all be rejoicing together soon! Hope everyone has a great week!

[dawmich]

Hello,

I forgot to post here Friday night. Sorry. I was down 1.6 so now I have 9.3 to get to onderland. Good luck everyone.

Paris- you can still do this thread. Count down from your 20. You will see hwo fast it will go by. Good luck

[girlaroundtheway]

Im in... I have 12 to lose. GOOD LUCK EVERYBUDDY!!! graemlins/wave.gif

[girlaroundtheway]

I now have 12 and a half to lose :( I think I ate too much cheese yesterday, because my fingers are swollen. :( Maybe next week

[Debnicu]

Hi all,still trudging along.This week weight stayed the same graemlins/sobbing.gif I am hoping that it is the exercise and I am losing inches.I measure myself on Sat.will have to wait and see. :confused:

[KimR]

Hi all!! Just reporting in...had W/I today and was -3.2 lbs. YIPPEEE!!!!Onederland is getting closer every week.. :D Have a great week...KimR :D

[w8ing2b]

I just wanted to give a big cheer to all of you that are so close to wonderland! Come on buddies you can do it!! Yeaaaaa!!!!!

I can hardly wait to get to onderland, what a day that will be!! You go girls! :D

[robijax]

Hi guys! graemlins/wave.gif

I'm down 1.2 this week. I had a perfect on program week and was expecting a bigger loss but I guess I'll just be happy it was a loss and hope the scales will "give up" more next week! I'm now at 206.6 - getting so close I can smell it!

It looks like we lost a few this week, or maybe just forgot to post. In the past week we didn't hear from Jana, Jersey or Ebonyrose (who was SO close to onederland!). I hope you guys are all OK and still hanging in there!

Dawn - 209.2 - come on, less than 10 pounds to go, you can do it!!
Kim R - 222 - A 3.2 pound loss - how wonderful! smile.gif Keep up the good work!
Debbie - 216.2 - Good for you for exercising so much. I hope you are seeing a difference in the clothes and hopefully the scale will show a difference this week!
Heather - 212.2 - Welcome! graemlins/wave.gif Glad to have you joining us!

I hope everyone has a great week in this march towards ONEderland!

[Jersey]

I was down 1 last week! Just have 10.2 to go!

[Catcher10]

Is it too late to join in? I like the fact that I will be " held accountable " by telling everyone how I did this week. I started at 203 and hit onederland at 199.0. I would like to hit my 10% by June 3, as I will be leaving the city where I am at to live in Chicago. If it's not too late, I will post after I weigh in! "See" you then!

[dawmich]

hello buddies. Wow everyone is doing great. I forgot to post my weight last week. Sorry. I went away for the weekend so I had to weigh in a day early. Anyway I was down 1 pound. Only 8.2 pounds to go. It is slow but sure. Iw ill post this weeks LOSS Saturday.

Robijax thankyou for started this thread and for all you cheering.

Good luck everyone.

[Debnicu]

W/I today graemlins/crazy.gif and down -4.2 YAHOOOOO!! graemlins/crazy.gif
Only 12.1# more to go until ONEDERLAND! Maybe I can get there before my birthday at the end of May. :D

[KimR]

Hello Buddies! graemlins/wave.gif
Just reporting in...Didn't do as well this week down .6 lbs. Will have to do better this week and stay OP...Have a great OP week everyone...KimR smile.gif

[Catcher10]

graemlins/ugh.gif Well, I weighed in this morning and the news was not good. I gained .6 this week. I was not really surprised, considering what I ate this past weekend. If you can name it, I ate it. But, I am going to hop right back on points this week, or what is left of it. Wish me luck! tongue.gif

Week One: 203 lbs.
Week Two: 199.0
Week Three: 199.6


1st 10%- 179.0 lbs
WW goal- 125.0 lbs.
Personal Goal- 120.0 lbs.

[Jersey]

I lost 2.2 this week and have just 7.8 to onederland!!!

[robijax]

Hey Guys! graemlins/wave.gif

Reporting in with good news this week. I'm down 1.8 AND got my 10% keychain this week! :D Next goal 25 pound magnet and then ONEDERLAND! Only 5 pounds to go from here! I can't wait!

So, here's where we all stand as of this past week's postings:

Jersey - 207.8 - Missed you last week, glad to have you reporting back in, and with a 2.2 loss no less!! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Dawn - 208.2 - Good job on loosing that pound, your're getting closer all the time!

Debbie - 212 - Down 4.2 :eek: Wow! graemlins/thumbup.gif All of that exericise really paid off at once!

Kim R - 221.4 - don't be dissapointed, it was a loss - keep up the good work!

Stephanie Rodgers - It's nice that you want to join us but I'm a little confused. We're all trying to GET to ONEderland and it appears you're already there. Would you rather join a different countdown - like to 190 or 180? By the way, I noticed you're from Mayport. I grew up in Neptune Beach on Florida Blvd. just a few blocks down the road. I'm now living on the Southside of Jacksonville. We're from the "same" location!

So, congratulations to EVERYONE! Looks like we all lost something last week. Let's do it again!!

[dawmich]

I lost 1 pound again last week which brought me to my 10%. SO now I have 7.2 to get to onderland.

Good luck everyone

[Debnicu]

graemlins/wave.gif Continuing on the road to ONEDERLAND.
Down 3.8# only 8.3# till I am in there. graemlins/crazy.gif I can't wait. :eek:

[KimR]

Hello Buddies! Reporting in..W/I today and -2.6 lbs. down... smile.gif Onederland is getting closer every week...Everyone is doing a great job..Keep up the good work..KimR graemlins/thumbup.gif

[dawmich]

I lost 2 lb's this week only 5.2 left to onderland.

Good luck everyone!
Dawn

[luv2sew]

I would like to join your group. I am now 211.4 and can't wait to see a one up there instead of a two. good luck to all. clara

[robijax]

OMG - everyone had such great weeks last week! I am so happy for everyone, but at the same time SO discouraged for myself! I was perfect on program all week, walked 3 miles 5 times this week, and I MAINTAINED! graemlins/sobbing.gif I stepped on the scale and she said I was exactly the same place I was last week. I'm trying not to let it get to me but I have to be honest and it is really getting to me tonight. The good news is that I haven't let it lead to a total binge which has crossed my mind several times since I weighed!

I'm just hoping next week will make up with a BIG loss!

So, here's where we all are:

Robijax 204.8 (still.....)
Jersey 207.8
Dawn 205.2
Debbie 208.2
Kim R 218.8

and welcome to our newest member:
Clara 211.4

Keep up the fantastic work everyone!

[Tascar]

Hi! If I am not to late I would love to join in. I am a newbie here and just 5lbs to go before I get to onederland.

sw-214
cw-205

[ebonyrose]

Good Luck on the Countdown to ONEderland! I final made at today. It was a long struggle, but I made it through YEAH. Making the mini goals feels wonderful, I know each one of you will get there very soon as long as you stay OP and committed.
graemlins/wave.gif graemlins/bcbkick.gif graemlins/bcbsalute.gif
I will march on slowly and steadily to my goal.

[Jersey]

Congrats ebonyrose! Can't wait to join you!

And hang in there, robijax! Next week should be better! You can do it!!!!

[dawmich]

Congratulations Ebonyrose what a milestone to reach.

Robijax try not to be discouraged. I know it is hard but next week is another week and it will catch up to you then with a loss. Youa re doing great OP and that is saying something.

Dawn

[Debnicu]

Well I am continuing on to ONEDERLAND.Down another 1.8 #, so only 6.5# to go.It has been a long time since I hve been in ONEDERLAND (June of 2001)and I can't wait.
Robijax the weight loss will catch up with you just think of the muscle you are building and the extra calories you burn because of it.
Hope everyone continues doing well.
Have a great week. :D

[KimR]

Hello Buddies!!! W/I today....down -2.8 lbs. this week...Onederland is getting closer each week smile.gif smile.gif KimR

[dawmich]

[robijax]

Wow, another great week for our big bunch of loosers!

I personally struggled this week and am sad to report that I was not on program most of the week. graemlins/bcbkick.gif graemlins/bcbkick.gif graemlins/bcbkick.gif to me.

I won't go into the gorry details, but I am back on the wagon as of today and am ready to keep marching towards onederland. I did manage to loose .6 last week, probably due to the fact that I maintained the week before.

So, here's the standings as I see them:

Robijax (me) 204.2
Jersey 206
Dawn 204.4
Debbie 206.4
Kim R 216
Tascar 205 WELCOME!
Tryn2b 210 WELCOME!
Clara 211.4 (are you still with us?)

And a big CONGRATULATIONS :D to Ebonyrose to making it to the other side!

We're getting so close. Let's keep up the good work!

[mtnmoovr]

After 17 weeks, I'm down to 214...199 is my next goal since I've already reached my first 10% :D Gosh, to be under 200 lbs again. It's been about 13 years since I've been in ONEderland and I can't wait!!! My goal is to be their by my anniversary....July 2nd

[Itsanewyear]

I would like to join.

According to ww scales I need to lose 8 lbs to reach onederland.

According to my scale I need to lose 5 lbs.

I'm not too picky about which one comes first as long as one scale FINALLY puts me in onederland.

I weigh-in on Thursday evenings.

[dawmich]

Good for you Robijax for going right back OP. I will not graemlins/bcbkick.gif because I think you did enough of that to yourself. You are doing great.

Continuing to inch along to ONEDERLAND.Down another 1.6# so only 1.9# until I get there.
Keep up the good work everyone. :cool:

[robijax]

Hi Guys! graemlins/wave.gif

I hope no one has given up on me. I have been struggling for 3 weeks now. I don't know what has happened to my motivation. As of today (again) I am back on program. Seeing that it is Memorial Day and a holiday I almost talked myself out of it several times today and tried to get myself to give in and start over tomorrow. But, for today anyway, I was victorious! I SO need to get back in control!
I'm determined to get my head back into this game, post regularly, and just DO IT!

I was just reading the posts since the last time I posted and BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Dawn and Debbie for more losses and being SO SO SO close to ONEDERLAND! It should be any week now for both of you!! graemlins/thumbup.gif graemlins/thumbup.gif Keep up the great work!

And, KimR, congrats on your loss also. You will be there before you know it.

I'm disappointed and humiliated to post a gain since my last post, but it is definately downward from here!

So, here's where we all are:

Robijax - 207
Jersey - 209
Dawn - 203.2
Debbie - 201.8
Kim R - 215

And our newest members:
Bealk - 214
Itsanewyear - 208
Paris Madeleine - 210

Missing in action (are you still with us?):
Tascor - 205
Tryn2b - 210
Clara 211.4

So, onward and downward from here. I WILL be reporting back in with a loss next week!
graemlins/thumbup.gif

[tryn2b]

Dawn

[KimR]

Hello everyone graemlins/wave.gif
reporting a little late this week...Down 3 lbs...I think I've been so busy putting in my flower and vegetable gardens I didn't realize all the extra exercise I was getting! Guess I will have to stay out in the garden and keep weeding..Everybuddie have a great week...KimR :D

[tryn2b]

I weighed in yesterday. I lost 2 more pounds so now I hae 5.7 pounds to onederland and 55 pounds to goal. I can do it....I will do it!

[robijax]

CONGRATULATIONS DEBBIE!!!! graemlins/thumbup.gif graemlins/thumbup.gif

Our first ONEderland graduate!!! How cool for you. You must be SO excited!

And KimR and Tryn2b - gread losses also!

Dawn - keep up the good work - you're SO close!

I had a very small loss this week - .4 pounds. It confirmed something for me. I usually eat at the absolute top of my range. If I'm not at the top it is because I'm banking points and I make sure I eat all of my banked points before the week is over.

I am leaving tomorrow to go out of town for a week. To prepare I have been banking points. I banked 5 points every day Tuesday through today. This was a HUGE accomplishment for me. I was PERFECT OP! I went to my WW meeting expecting a huge loss because I had ate at the low end of my range for a whole week. I had NEVER done this before. And just to find out that I only lost .4 of a pound.

I'm not discouraged, though. It just confirmed for me that in order to have big losses I need to eat at the high end of my range. I'm convinced it keeps my metabolism high.

The good news is that I have 30 points banked for my trip. I am planning on staying totally OP, even though we will be eating out every meal. I am really psyched up for this. I'll let you guys know in a week how it went!

So, here's where we are:

Debbie - our alumni! :D

Robijax - 207.4
Dawn - 203.2
KimR - 213
Tryn2b - 210

We have had more but that is all that has posted in the past week. If any other of you who previously posted are still with us please let us know how it's going.

Here's to a great OP week! graemlins/bcbsalute.gif

[dawmich]

Good for you Robijax on banking on thise points. Have a great trip.

[dawmich]

Good for you Robijax on banking on those points. Have a great trip.

[Debnicu]

Way to go KimR and Tryn2b with the losses.
Keep on going Dawn you are getting close.
Good loss Robijax,and way to plan for your trip.Hope you have a good one.
Hope everyone has a great OP week. :D

[dawmich]

Hi every one. I was down 1.6. I am so pleased with that. I got TOM this morning after not having it for 4 months so I had thought I was up 2 pounds. I am pretty excited over the loss. 1.8 left to onderland.

Good luck everyone!
Dawn

[robijax]

Hi guys! graemlins/wave.gif

I'm back from vacation and proud to report a 1.6 pound loss! :D WOO HOO! graemlins/thumbup.gif graemlins/thumbup.gif

Dawn - congrats on your loss. You are SO close! I know you must be so excited.

No one else reported in this week. I'll list everyone as of last week and maybe we'll here back from some of them this week:

Robijax - 205.8
Dawn - 201.6
KimR - 213
Tryn2B - 210

Come on guys - WE CAN DO THIS!!!

[dawmich]

Well I finally did it. I lost 2.2 pounds this week. I am now in onderland. A number that I have not seen in a very long time. I also hit 30 pounds tonight.

I am still here to root you guys on. Keep up the great work. And good luck.

Dawn

[robijax]

WOO HOO Dawn! graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif

Our second ONEderland gratudate on this thread. You are doing SO great!

I had a great week. I lost 3.6 pounds! That puts me only 2.4 away from ONEderland. Hopefully I'll be there soon!

OK, we seem to have lost everyone else who was posting on this thread. Am I the only one left? Would anyone care to join me????

[itsjustme]

I'll join you - but I am pretty close to Onderland right now. I only have 2.3# until I'm at 199.9! It seems so close - yet sooooo far away tongue.gif

[dawmich]

Robijax congratulations on you terrific loss. You will be there before you no it.
It does look everyone dropped off but I will be here with you until the end. And Pam just joined you.

Welcome Pam.

Good luck to both of you!

Dawn

[itsjustme]

Oh Robijax!!! I went the wrong way this week :mad: I now have 3.5# to Onderland...I am planning to kick it up a notch this week and am hoping to get there next week. That may be a bit of a stretch, but I sure would like to get close to it! Hope you had a better week!

~ Pam ~

[robijax]

Glad to have you join me, Pam!! So sorry to hear about your gain this week. That is SO tough! Best of luck getting the scales to go the right way next week.

I lost 1.6 this week - AND GOT MY 25# STAR - and now have less than a pound to go to ONEderland!!

I'm leaving for vacation starting next Saturday so it will be a couple of weeks before I report in again. Wish me luck - my plan is to stay OP all week. I did it last month, I can do it again! graemlins/thumbup.gif

[dawmich]

graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif
Yoo Hoo less than 1 pound to go. You must be so excited.

Have a great time on your vacation.

Dawn

[itsjustme]

graemlins/crazy.gif Yahoooooooooo!!!! graemlins/crazy.gif

Congrats on your big loss! You are sooooo close to Onderland now graemlins/thumbup.gif Have a great OP week!
~ Pam ~

[itsjustme]

I'm down 1.8# this week *YIPPEE!* Still have 1.7 to go to Onderland though....

[dawmich]

Pam 1.7 is great. You are doing fantastic. You and robijax will be there before you know it.

Yoo Hoo graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif

[sd]

Hi everybuddy

You all are doing so well! I have been here (counting down to onderland) before. Once 5 years ago, and then again in this past year. I had lost 36#s, and in the past 2 years have gone back up. No excuses (except real bad ones) and I have given myself the necessary kicks in the pants (over and over--but forget the pants - it is all really in the head where it gets sorted out).

I weighed in (starting over)4 weeks ago (but now a 4 week lapse again). I started thinking lately that what I'm doing differenly this time (over this past year) is that I realize I am not prioritizing my 'health plan' (no diet--lifetime). So, all that being said, I am working my way to onederland!!

May I please join you? (Although it seems many of you have reached or are really close to reaching onederland)

5/31/03 - 208.6
I weigh in on Saturdays, and will report next week.
sd

[Itsanewyear]

I posted earlier and have not been back to catch up my stats.

I have 5 pounds to go until I hit ONEderland ( I am currently at 204). I weigh in on Thursday so I will post then.

Keep up the good work everyone!

ET

221/204/150

[imported_Songbird]

So close!!! I went from 202 to 200.5. Oh well, next week I'll get into onederland! At least I went down! When I first looked at the scale I thought I had stayed the same.

Baby steps...I have to remember that at least I'm not going up!

[Tymeagain]

I would like to join the -- Countdown to Onederland too... I weigh 214 -- My highest weight... I need some inspiration and a kick in the Butt graemlins/bcbkick.gif to get myself motivated to get my old figure back.

Within the past year I have been and still am sick with what is a neurological disorder of some type possibly MS, But I also was in a car accident 3 years ago and have chronic neck and back problems, weakness/numbness in limbs -- I'm unable to do most excercises. I wear a neck brace/and have a cane to steady myself from weakness and dizziness.
I get so depressed -- I am on a medical leave from work, so now I am near the kitchen all the time, I am an emotional eater and find myself just opening the fridge to stare blankly about every 1/2 hour regardless of hunger pangs.
Boredom plays it's toll as well.

Can anyone else relate either to not having the inspiration or the willpower? Not only am I trying to overcome my weight problem I'm also trying to overcome and deal with many chronic health issues.

Hopefully here I will feel challenged by others that are all trying to reach a mutual goal ONEderland -- !!

Thanks for reading/listening. smile.gif

Tyme

[itsjustme]

Hey!!!! Where'd all the new people come from??? See what happens when you blink?!?!? Welcome to our little challenge folks graemlins/wave.gif Glad to have you here!!!!!!!!!

I didn't go to weigh in this week because the baby is sick and I didn't want to drag her out of the house. I'm feeling kind of swollen today though, so I'm sure there wouldn't have been a loss to report anyway graemlins/sobbing.gif Oh well! I am seriously kicking it up a notch and VOW to hit Onderland by next Thursday - even if it kills me!!!!

And if I don't make it? Well, then I'll just shoot for the week after that :D

How's everyone else doing???

[itsjustme]

Tyme ~ Sorry you are having so much trouble right now!!! Although I can't personally relate to all the chronic problems you are having right now, my sister has sort of been diagnosed with MS (one dr says "yes" and another says "maybe") and she has been feeling LOADS better since she started eating better, exercising, losing a few pounds (she didn't have much to lose) and getting on a regular sleep schedule. The sleep schedule was HUGE for her! She had to quit her job because it was swing shift and they refused to make her straight days (the company dr said it wasn't MS of course LOL)

So anyway, I don't know how much pain you are in - but if you could just do SOMETHING every day (like a short walk after dinner to start with) you may start feeling a bit better and then be able to work up to bigger challenges.

As far as motivation is concerned, there's not much anyone else can do for you. Unfortunately, you have to hear the little click for yourself. If you are looking for some inspiration though, check out the achievements board or read some of the journals. Also the WW site has some before/after stuff as well.

Good luck and God bless!!!!

[robijax]

Hi Guys! graemlins/wave.gif

Glad to see all of the new activity on this thread. Well I'm thrilled and excited to report that almost 3 months after starting this thread, I HAVE FINALLY REACHED ONEDERLAND!! :D :D

And, I did it while on vacation!! If any of you want to read the details of how I stayed OP while on vacation, I started a thread on the 50+ board.

To Pam, SD, Sondbird and Tyme - keep up the good work. You CAN do this. I never imagined it would have taken me as long as it had to get here, but I'm here, and that's all that matters now. Onward and downward from here! Keep up the good work, some of you guys are SOOOO close!

I'm going to start a countdown to 190, so WHEN you get to ONEderland, please join me there!!

I'm seven pounds to 199!!!

I just can't weight to remove the "2" from my girth FOREVA!

[Itsanewyear]

I can't believe it! I lost 2.6 last night and am now at 199.8. So I have reached...ONEDERLAND!

I am still a little too close for comfort to the 200's but next week I hope to move down some more.

I will be joining the countdown to 190 thread and can't wait to see everyone get there.

Hi Everyone,

I am going to have to join you all again. I had a 3 pound gain so I need to lose 1.6 to bet to onderland.

Good luck everyone.

I've never participated in a countdown before so I'm not exactly sure how this works, but can I still join in?
I am currently at 209.8 and just CAN'T WAIT to get to onderland.
Robijax, thank s for the expanation. "Önederland is that wonderful place where your weight begins with the number 1 rather than the number 2. You really have to have experienced being over 200 pounds to appreciate the joy that onederland brings.

So, with 9.8 pounds to go, I'm thinking this will take be between 10 and 13 weeks, because I am a slow loser. I weigh in on Mondays.

Anyone left who woould care to join me???? The others are all off to play on a new thread. LOL!!! graemlins/crazy.gif
