Onederland! 
I really wanted this a couple of weeks ago right before I turned 40, but still feels good:) Just 199.8. I know this is a lot of water weight as I got sick yesterday and also back to keto last couple of days, but still happy to see it! I haven't seen this number the past seven years! I'll be happy to see 198.3 which will be under 90 kgs or 89.9:). Thank you this forum and which contributed a lot to this happening! I wish I found this forum back when I first signed up on MFP... still, literally better late then never.
I would like to get down to at least 189 by Christmas/NYE. I'm still kind of new here, I would like to add friends who wish to stay very motivated over the next month. So please add me if you wish.

I am currently 199.73881 pounds (or 90.6 kg here in Australia). I can't ever seem to get below that. 90 kg seems to be my body's go to weight.0

@EbonyDahlia That's exactly where I'm at (almost)! 90.62 kgs. What's your goal weight? Are you doing low carb/keto? A fat fast might break the plateau. You can do this!0

For the better part of 20 years, my joke was I would have to have something amputated to see the south side of 200. Been holding steady at 182 for several months with one dip to 175, but that was just not healthy. Congrats on getting to the 190's!2
-
Thank you @cstehansen! Until I was in my early 30s, I would have never imagined that I would see high 170s, 180s, 190 or 200! So yeah, happy to be on the south side of 200:)
And congratulations on your success!0 -
Awesome success! I'm on the cusp at 208. Can't wait to hit it! Welcome to the forum!!2
-
Thank you @RowdysLady. You will get there!1

I made onederland a few weeks ago, now I'm in 180sville - you'll be here in no time2

I've been Keto for 4 years. There's nothing I haven't tried at one point or another. I'm 30kg down from my start weight though so that's something.
Internet calculators say I should be between 68 and 74 (kg) but I would be a skeleton if I weight that little. I think I would be just right at about 80kg.

This makes me so irritated with myself. I hit 207 in may of 15, then self destructed and am now fighting to get back down, around 270 right now. Ugh. I could have been goal weight by now.0 -
I actually hit onederland my self this week. It's been about 3 years since I've been under 200. I was really happy to see the 199 pop up the other day. My goal is to get down to 194 by Christmas. We can do this!2

I haven't seen onederland in 15 years. I will in 2017 though. down 61 and 32 away from one land. I got to 207 in 2010 but I struggled the entire time. this time it just works real lifestyle changes. I'm in for staying motivated this month.2

I remember years ago, telling my ex-wife to stand behind me with my 1911, and if I ever hit 300, she was to shoot me in the back of the head without saying a word. It seems like such a hilarious thought since after getting below 200 in 2013, I never got above that again, even with three years of laziness, no lifting, and quitting calorie tracking for years after hitting 185.
Getting below 200 a monumental landmark that created a point for me that was never to be exceeded again, without even really trying. Congratulations, and I wish you the same future successes that I have seen since.3 -
Congratulations to everyone.
I'd love to see 200. Currently 235 and I keep playing with the same 10 pounds over and over again.
Goal of 180.
Sigh
Need to try harder.2 -
Good job! *claps*1

Wow! @moonlights bravo and this is soooo encouraging!1 -
@EbonyDahlia what matters is that you feel good. A fat fast is a bit different than just keto from what I understand.
BUT--- 30kgs down! That's amazing!
I looked at your profile, it seems we are around the same height and age. This weight isn't super unhealthy, 80kgs would be great. I was for most of my teenage years, all of my 20s and early 30s around 73-74. I wasn't a skeleton (I don't have a small frame either.) I thought that I needed to lose a lot of weight back then which I now know is crazy. My ultimate goal is 63.5kgs. This might be too little. I was once 69.9 and I felt good but I still wouldn't be a skeleton if I lost a few. So that's the goal right now, but maybe I'll just be fine at 68...
What matters is to get healthy. I think a big part of my motivation now is all the health alarms, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, knee and foot pain... all the pain improved with even this small weight loss. Of course if somehow along the way I end up putting on a lot more muscle then I guess a higher weight would be just fine since muscle is smaller than fat.EbonyDahlia wrote: »@EbonyDahlia That's exactly where I'm at (almost)! 90.62 kgs.

@nicsflyingcircus Please don't be! I've only ever lost not even 20 pounds. I looked at your profile, and see that you have lost 100 lbs before! You can do this. You've done it before, only 7.1 pounds difference with what you've already done once. Look forward, don't dwell on the past.0 -

@Gallowmere1984 This is so encouraging (past the part about the shooting) that you haven't gone back up after you went below 200! Thank you so much for the encouragement!1 -

It became my new "hard target" so to speak. I maintained for years between 180 and 190. As soon as I hit 195 last year around this time, something triggered and I went into hellcut mode again, taking myself down to 150. Unfortunately, I did end up skinnyfat as hell, because I did it solely via calorie restriction while sedentary. Back in August I decided that it was time to start lifting again while eating a surplus.
My Keto bulk thread is still around here somewhere, but I stopped updating it a while back when I realized that my bulk had turned into a fulk (150-177 in about 2.5 months) and started shorter cycles between extreme bulk and cut.0 -

I actually lost 167 and put 60 of them back on. Working on heading back down right now.2 -
@nicsflyingcircus that's super impressive. Maybe some of that you put back is muscle. Fluctuations happen. Clearly you know how to achieve this. I'm sure you will lose the 60 again and more.

Congrats!! What an accomplishment. So exciting to reach landmarks to all of you.
I am about 15 pounds Away From Onderland myself and couldn't be happier. It's been over 15 years since I've seen that before the end of the year. Never give up! 10 pound increments is always an easy way to look at things 1 -

That's another thing that I like about the Happy Scale app. Not only does it give a weighted average for daily weigh-ins, it also has a progress tracker that's divided up into ten equal parts, letting you know as you tip past each milestone.1 -

It's an app for iOS (think they have one for Android too) that averages the weight you put in every day and plots the trend in a graph. It's purpose is to smooth out the daily weight fluctuations, and give a better approximation of your true weight.0 -
One Android app is Libra.0

Can't wait to get below 200. Been hanging out around 203-205 for about 2 weeks. Hoping to get completely on track with eating and get down below 200 before the new year.1

You and me both! My weight is back up a couple of pounds. I consider these fluctuations and am not logging though. And starting December 1st, I'm weighing myself once a week. I do everyday now.Can't wait to get below 200. Been hanging out around 203-205 for about 2 weeks. Hoping to get completely on track with eating and get down below 200 before the new year.

I dreamed of onederland for all of my adult life! Was an amazing feeling to get below that 200 number (when I was 48 years old!)! Am proud to say that I have maintained onederland (165-170 ish) since July, 2015, if I recall correctly!
I remember how good it felt, and still does! One of the best things I've ever done for myself!
Congratulations on your accomplishment too!3
