AngelaAnn Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I cannot believe it--I'm 9.5 months out and finally, I can almost taste 199! 202 this morning. I truly might cry the day I look at the scale and see a '1' instead of a '2'. I just turned 29 a couple of weeks ago and I have not been this weight since 7th grade. You want to know something else, too? I never realized I didn't have confidence when I was 250 lbs. I always thought that I would be a 'big' girl and I was always told I had a 'pretty' face and I believed I would always be the fat friend or the third wheel. I had one boyfriend through my twenties and never dated. Last week, I went out on two dates with two different dudes who both told me I was beautiful, which was flattering not only because they told me, but because I finally believed it. I know I still have a bit of a ways to go, but it is truly amazing that I feel 'normal' for once and comfortable in my own skin. And I am thankful for this forum and I will continue to journey alongside all of you in our quests for our outsides to match our insides. So, after all that mushiness--anyone else close to onederland??
ValleyGirl Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Holy hot stuff! Great photo- your confidence is oozing out of it and confidence is so sexy. Have fun dating and may the best man win, haha! Sabrina:) ps- I joined "onederland" a few weeks ago!
AngelaAnn Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 You look absolutely amazing Angela!!! Thank you Ashley! How are you doing with the band?

Yeah, my friend told me to pose so, I posed where you couldn't see the hanging skin on my arms. Thank you! I feel really good.
Kristi Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 You look absolutely Fabulous!!! I also agree with Sabrina that your confidence is oozing out of you. Way to go!
MyNewLife Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 OMGosh !!!!!!!!!!! YES. I dont think that I am going to EVER get there! I have been trying to get there and have came to a holt. It get so frustating at time, however You look AMAZING! You will get there!!! Carrie
Smiley Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 WOW! You look great at 202, I don't think I looked that good at 175. I am so jealous that you were able to make this life change at the age of 29. I would have loved to have been able to do this 7 years ago and can only imagine how different the last seven years would have been, but at least I was able to do it last year. Congratulations and keep on keeping on!

At least you did it and you look great! I get that "you don't look like you weigh 200+ pounds" all the time, I think it's 'cause I'm 5'9 and carry it all over--basically an even spread of fat, if you will.
AngelaAnn Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 You look absolutely Fabulous!!!I also agree with Sabrina that your confidence is oozing out of you. Way to go! Thank you! You're doing amazing for only being 3ish weeks out!

It get so frustating at time, however You look AMAZING! You will get there!!!Carrie I lose in spurts. I stayed at a 20 pound loss (all lost on the liquid phase) for the first 4 months, then lost 10 pounds with my second fill over 3 months and now I've lost the other 16 pounds with the third since February. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need another fill within a month or so, but I admit, once I saw 207 and the 100's were in sight, I've been busting my ass at the gym 5x a week. Also, I gain and lose the same 3 pounds a bunch before the scale moves "for good." It's really strange, actually.

I carry my weight all over and I am 5'9" and people don't think I weigh as much as I do - but the scale is the same for me, I go back and forth for a week losing and gaining the same few pounds before I finally stick at that weight. Its so frustrating! lol Good luck on getting into onderland! it wont be too much longer

jhawkchick75 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 You will be there before you know it!!! When I got back into a size 12 pants I stood in the fitting room at Ann Taylor and cried like a baby! Thank God they didn't hear me! As you hit each milestone - take time to appreciate it. Do something nice for yourself and make sure you take pictures. I took pics every 10 lbs and even though with some of those there wasn't a noticable change, i'm really glad i did it. It is nice now to look back at. Keep up the great work!!!
AshleyMarie Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 I'm doing good Angela. I am down 36 lbs at a little less than 3 months and go for my second fill tomorrow .
lea32 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 WATCH OUT! The hand-on-the-hip pose says it all! You are absolutely stunning! :lb21: Lea

Mammaof2wins Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 AngelaAnn You look amazing!! Good for you! Before you know it you will be in onederland. I am so close now I can feel it. I got a fill on May 5th and weighed in at 216.5 and today I am 205. I can't wait to see a 1 on the scale. I think I am going to cry, scream and freak!! Shelbie, I love your new picture!! You look beautiful. Congrats on your weightloss of 50lbs at 7 months that is wonderful.
Smiley Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I gain and lose the same 3 pounds a bunch before the scale moves "for good. I hated those 3-4 lb. gains and losses that played mind games with me. Lucky you for being 5' 9". I was in the lobby at my plastic surgeons office the other day and someone asked if there was anything they couldn't do. I said yes, they can't make me taller. I am 5' 4.75" and feel lucky to be that tall as my mother is only 5', but boy how I wish I could be 5' 7". Of course if I was 5' 7" I would probably want to be 5' 9" - such a vicious circle.
vickiruss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Awesome!!! I realized this past week that at age 12 I went to weight watchers for the first time weighing in at 201 so I have been big since about age 6-7 thought I could keep up with an older brother, you know he eats 5 oreo cookies so can I at a very young age. Well I am now only 21# away from the one hundreds!!! can't believe it!!
