It has been at least 4 years since I've been below 200. As of today 36 pounds down and finally in Onederland!

Excellent! I was a little worried with the holiday but it's been surprising okay. When you get there shout out! You're so close!

Great job! I can't wait to be there! I'll definitely be taking a picture of the scale too. I'm 23lbs away. Been about 5 years. I had been over 200 for years and finally got under. Then got pregnant. I've since had 2 babies and never really found the motivation again until now.0

You are close and will get there! I started a business and it took such a toll on my weight and health. We're all kicking *kitten* just by being here and putting ourselves first.0 -
Well done. You look fab!0

Just came home from the doctor's. I weighed in at 198lbs - officially in Onederland for Christmas.
There is a 5lb difference between my doctor's scales (the big standing scales where you have to move the weights across the top bar) and my own scales (basic electronic bathroom scales); I'm not sure if it's possible to reset your starting weight, but I trust the doctor's scales to be more accurate.

YES! Way to go!0 -
bluenoser38 - congratulations! I would say that even if the doctor's scale is more accurate, you'll be using yours more regularly, so I personally would go with what your own scale says for purposes of tracking. Just my opinion.

Thanks, guys. I've been feeling a little lazy over the holidays, but my basset hound has been my walking buddy and we went for a nice long walk in the snow today. He also threw himself on a grenade by licking the boiled icing off my daughter's leftover birthday cake yesterday, so it had to be thrown out.
Without his intervention, I'm not sure I could have had just one piece and let it be.0 -
You look fantastic! !!! Great job!!!0

LOL! Love it! I had a bassett years ago and hav never really gotten over losing her. Great dogs and apparently a good diet companion.0 -
Awesome job every one! I did it in September was great to be back ones. But it's now been tough to get out of the 190s! Like I'm stuck here. Just sound this group so hope we can do it together!!0

Slow and steady wins the race. It can be frustrating some days, as a weight loss of one to two pounds a week doesn't always show in the mirror (which is why it's important to share and celebrate victories). I'm planning to take my 90 day photos this weekend, and I know that I will see a difference overall.
Big picture goals and rewards might help, too. I have worn glasses since I was child, and while I am grateful to have my eyesight I'll admit that they can be annoying (fog up when you come in from the cold, awkward when doing activities like yoga, and just plain irritating to have to reach for them in the night to read the alarm clock, etc). Yesterday, I visited a LasikMD clinic for an assessment, and I have scheduled my surgery for April 9th. This will be my five month anniversary on MFP, and I am hoping to be at 35lbs lost by then.
This is a huge reward for me, and I'm feeling super motivated.0 -
This is so exciting! Gets me pumped to make it there! I was so close then fell off the wagon.0
