Default The road to ONEderland...anyone close?

I want to get to onederland so bad, anyone else getting close? I know brennabug and coolcat are right there with me, is anyone else?
What a milestone it's going to be for me, finally seeing under 200... I can't wait I'm so close, and so excited I haven't been under 200 in SO many years, and now... it's finally in sight.
I weighed 214 this morning 14 more pounds and I'm there. I just can't wait.. I was taking to dh about it and he said we would have to do something special so he is planning a one night stay at the Grove Park Inn at Asheville, NC. We've never been there and we'll only stay one night, but that's just fine by me
COME ONE ONEDERLAND

If you're going to stay in Asheville, why not The Biltmore? I was just there three weeks ago, but at $299 a night, we stayed at the Motel 6!

Hi Amory The Grove Park Inn is right near the Biltmore estate, I've always heard so much about that Grove Park Inn, it's pricey for sure. They have a mineral spa there too. We're only going to stay one night and the 2nd night will probably be at the motel 6

i'm close... about 4-6lbs to go. when i got on the scale yesterday it looked like i'd finally broken through and had a little 3lb whoosh (pre-TOM), but i'm going to wait and see before i actually accept that as real.

my mini goal is to hit onederland before we leave to see family at thanksgiving... 2 weeks to go!

Me! I'm at 204 today. I'm hoping to be at 199 by the end of induction in 6 days. I have not seen that in a long time...

I'm at 203 right now.
If by the next time I weigh that scale is under 200lbs I'll probably just faint.

I'm looking to cross into Onederland....soon maybe. Or maybe not, as I keep getting into salty foods like feta cheese and black olives and ham lately.

I just crossed into onederland; however, I am having battles with dehydration/rehydration so I'm not weighing for a few days. I also have to fly and that always causes some problems with water retention.

Gee-ma. I'm anxiously waiting for you to join me!

I recently crossed over to "Onederland" after working my tail off for months, and I have to tell you it was the most wonderful thing in the world to see that scale finally read 197. I thought I was going to be at 203 for the rest of my life. Thankfully the scale went down to 187, but I have been holding there for a while. Lokking forward to seeing it start moving down again. Congratulations to all who have recently made it to "Onederland", and for those who are so close, keep up the good work you will see it soon.

I think I'm hanging at 199 for awhile. Mainly because I've been ill and traveling alot. It's very hard to be strict when you're not at home. Now with the recent salmonella outbreak (I was in one of those states for a week) and the possible link to lettuce and tomatoes, I'm afraid to eat salad away from home. I had every symptom of salmonella poisoning but was on antibiotics for 2 days when the outbreak was made public. I'll never know; however, I am travelling tomorrow to another state that was added to the outbreak states. After being this sick, I can't take the chance of eating salad veggies.

Gee-ma,
I thought I'd hang at 199 for awhile, but my scale says otherwise.
