Onderland

I finally reached ONDERLAND! @ 199!!!! OK, technically the scale read 203, but I was wearing jeans, tshirt, and we are supposed to take 3-5 pounds off for clothing right? So, although you may disagree, I consider it a technicality and will unofficially celebrate my entrance into onderland. :lb16:

:lb2: I hope, real soon, that I can step on the scale and have it actually read 199, then I can deduct 3-5 pounds off that weight and would be OFFICIAL at that point. Until then, I will enjoy my sweet success, because this time last year I stepped on the scale and it read 273, aaagggghhhhh! I can't believe that this amazing contraption called, lap-band, has helped me become successful in losing weight and making sure I keep it off! It's amazing!

I am more than halfway through my weight-loss journey!!!! I'm crying, not full fledge, but tears are streaming because I was so scared of getting it because you just never know the risks of surgery, foreign objects, etc... but I only wish I could have done it sooner! BUT, that's OK. I've done it!!! I have really done it! WOW!!!! I'm really going to start taking some more photos, I think that they really tell the story and unfortunately I was never keen to taking photos after I gained so much weight. BUT, as of today, photos here I come!!!! I should go out and buy some memory cards for my camera! :yes3:

:drinks: Tonight I will drink (for the first time, in who know HOW long??) a small toast to myself, to the lap-band, to everyone here on the board, and to success!!! And I will dance the night away and celebrate unofficially with my friends and my dear loving husband!

Thanks for listening, you all are such great supporters, listeners, and voices!!! Thank you, THANK YOU! :lb21:
