    Re: Onederland! (and 80+ pounds down!)

    hi adena! i am back in your celebration thread!!! i have been thinking a lot lately about HOW we get to where it is that we WANT to be.....we do not get there by WISHING. we do not get there by WANTING. we do not get there by MAKING EXCUSES. we get there because we JUST DO IT. YOU my friend are celebrating a HUGE DAY IN THE LIFE OF ADENA....not just because you broke 200. yea that is SUPER COOL. but you are also celebrating the fact that you had an IDEA, turned it into a GOAL, made NO EXCUSES, work DARN HARD EVERY DAY, and EARNED THIS CELEBRATION! the "adena-ness" of adena is worth CELEBRATING!

    i say we go and order ourselves a big bucket of mozzarella balls!!!

      Big hug right back at'cha, Brady. Thank you!

      Thank you so much, FG!

      Betsy, I wondered what you were doing back here. You are too sweet. Thank you, though -- I appreciate what you said. And you're right -- I AM darn proud of me for getting to this point. I had so many excuses for so many years for not losing weight or exercising. I don't know exactly what was different this time, but I'll credit a great, livable way of eating and the support of this board (which in turn, drove me to exercise), which kept me on track (or yanked me back) SOOOO many times. Accck -- a whole bucket of mozzerella balls? Even split between the two of us, I'd shoot back into the 200s so fast it wouldn't even be funny. But hey, fortunately I can eat all the cyber-cheese I want! So let's have at 'em!

          no way girl, you don't get to eat half the bucket. we have to share with all the OTHER cheese hussies here.......

          it's funny, a few years ago our school district had a goal to get our students to an API score or 800 by 2010...our motto was and is "NO EXCUSES"....i think i will apply that to my new personal goal as well....you did not get here by making excuses either! and YES this board is THE BEST!!!! sure helps to keep me honest. ok,,,over and out...off to the doc....leave a few in the bottom of the bucket for me.

                    Jen -- you're so sweet. Thank you!

                    Caryl, Jaded, Mickkey, Purple Rain -- thanks so much. You guys inspire ME. I learn from everyone here. The veterans give advice and keep me on my toes -- they won't let me get away with anything! The newer folks have great questions that I learn from all the time, and your enthusiasm is contagious!

                    Betsy -- NO EXCUSES! Hope your son is doing better. There's just one slightly shrivled cheeseball left (I tried, but couldn't keep everyone out of them). It's yours.

                        Congrats!!! I have to say, you truly are an inspiration. I have not seen 199 in about four years. I have 9 lbs to go and it feels like I will never get there. But you have truly inspired me to know that it will eventually happen! Im doing the happy dance for you... Yaaay!!!

                          ADENA! Congratulations on being a BIG LOSER! I'm so happy for you to have gotten to onederland, this is a HUGE accomplishment and a big mile stone. Your new pictures are incredible. You are getting really skinny and it shows in your clothes and your shape and your face, and just EVERYWHERE.
