My first day home from vacation and wouldn’t you know it – I stepped on the scale and I was delighted to see I am in onederland! I will never see the 200’s again! At 199.4 I’ve lost a total of 29.6 lbs since March 4th. Let’s see – if I lose 2 lbs a week then I’ll be at my goal of 140 by December 1st. 180 by mid-July. Not bad!
Right now my husband is straightening my hair before I leave for work. Tonight I’ll debrief you on my fantastic weekend and our “big find”!
Until tonight!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to join wonderland myself! I have been reading your board since the beginning… and counting down until I can call myself a bandster too… and I finally got the date last week I’m getting banded on May 19th! 13 Days to go!
We have very similar stats so I’m really hoping that I get the same steady results as you!
Congrats again!
Shannon
Congratulations!!!!!
What an amazing feeling. You are doing great. You are a success!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I am so very proud of YOU!
Congrats, Lise, that’s WONDERFUL! You are very inspirational!!!
You said to ask you questions – here’s one – I’d love to see what you’re eating like for 2-3 days. I feel like I’m in such a rut. You are so helpful!
thanks! R
YAY!!! 199.4, that’s the most exciting part to finally see a 1 at the start of the number instead of a 2, congratulations, hope you guys had an amazing weekend away.
Congrats on onederland! You rock! Well, as a fellow bandster, I am psyched to have finally lost 20 lbs since surgery 3/19/08. Thought I’d share a goofy little website I like to visit when I’m craving Ice Cream….as you all know dieting stinks, but this makes me at least enjoy gazing at my favorite food.

Enjoy!
Congratulations!!!
I am trying to lose weight myself. I model and I used to weigh 115 – 120 (5′8″) but ever since I started working full time in an office 4 years ago, I have gained 25 lbs. Not good for my modeling career. I started dieting 1 month ago and I have lost 4 lbs. I guess it’s not too bad.
Congrats on your accomplishment!!! Keep up the good work. You can do it!!
Wow – congratulations!
Shannon: Congrats on getting your band date – that’s a HUGE step – and such an exciting one!!! I’ll be thinking of you on the 19th – yeahhh!!! And I’m sure you’ll do just as well if not better.
Thinspiration: Thank you so much!!!
Cathy – Thank you!!
Rebecca: What I eat … typically it’s coffee for breakfast, tuna with a bit of mayo for lunch and then chicken stir-fry for dinner…and then always a slimfast shake before bed b/c I MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE!!! I’m pretty boring and don’t deviate from that meal plan too much. I don’t snack and do not cheat. And there you have it!
Tara: You are telling me – and I’ll never see the 200’s again!!!
Eastside resident: a model – wow! And I don’t think I’ve ever weighed 115-120…well – I must have at some point but not that I can remember! 4 lbs in a month is great when you are so small…but I’m sure the rest of the weight will fall right off. Thank you for your kind words!
Leah – Thanks!!
Well it seems I am always the last to catch up! But I always get my own special reply.
Man, Congratulations on dropping below 200 lbs. What a feeling! I am proud of you and commend you on the no cheating – That is tough for me. I get sooo bored eating the same things. You are doing great – Keep on Keepin ON LISE! We are going to be such Babes –
I am doing my best to catch up with you I am currently at 204 and averaging 2 lbs/week with no restriction – but I am walking my butt off. Anywhere from 2-4 miles per day. It has been great though – My dad comes in the morning and we walk 2 miles and then at lunch my co-worker and I try and get in another 2 miles. I have several jumping on the band wagon (no pun intended) Ha But they all want to loose the weight as well and HAVE!
I found out I was going to a Formal Dinner/Dance – Lord it has been 25 years since I have been in a formal gown – I was 100 lbs then –
I went and found a dress today – I hate how I look in it – I look sooo FRUMPY – I am going to do it though – But I best get tickets next year so they can see what a Frumpy momma looks like -100 lbs later. Woooo Hooo – What a dream that will be.
You keep up the good work – And I will follow behind in your footsteps
Teresa
WOW Lise!!! Onederland…seems like a fairytale, but one day my dream will come true too…just like yours is.
Thanks for the wonderful blogs. I love your verve and passion. I look forward to reading your posts and advice. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congratulations!
That’s a significant milestone! I just passed the big two-oh-oh myself. Doesn’t it feel great!
Woo hoo!
Teresa: 204…you are so close to my weight…just a few more pounds! You are doing fantastic! I can’t believe how much you are walking…around your living room still?!?!? J/K – I am so bad…I still only walk from my car to the office which is about 2 blocks…if that! I’m going to my husbands high school reunion in august…so i’ll need to get a dress for that…not looking forward to it. but hopefully when that time comes around i’ll have lost enough to find something that doesn’t look too bad.
Diz: Ooh yes – your dream will come true sooner than you think!
Rithban: thank you – and congrats on passing the big two-oh-oh yourself! It does feel AMAZING!!!
