Most people who have WLS(weight loss surgery) are 2-400 pounds. Onederland is getting below 200.. into the 199 & below range.. ONE-derland. I was 210 when I was banded. It didn't take me long to get to onederland. It has gone alot slower for me to get to the big "0"s.. that is my goal phrase for each 10 lbs that will get me down the scale. I passed 190 a few months ago.. today I hit the next big "0".. 180!!
That number would probably make alot of women happy. My Dr. said that isn't a bad weight for some women.. women who are taller than 5 ft 1.5 inches! My height is my downfall! Not really.. my downfall was my DNA mixed with emotional baggage. I am on a mission to correct that! I can't change my DNA, but I can change what I do about it. They say the lower you get on the scale, the harder it is to lose the weight. I am keeping my goals simple, every big "0" is a big deal. Then I head to the next one. If I look at the big picture.. 60ish more pounds to go.. it seems overwhelming. I look at having lost 30 pounds so far. It took me almost 9 months! But that was not 9 months of rigidly following the program. It also included major neck surgery & recovery. So I hope gettng to the next big "0" goes a bit quicker. Whatever your goals are, keep them simple. If it is a big goal, break it down to more attainable steps, rather than one huge mountain to climb.
Truth: I had lost weight before & was 180lbs a couple years ago before my hysterectomy. The next Big "0" is the really big one.. I have not weighed 170 in over 20 years!
