299!

I reached a major personal milestone today!!

From today's blog:

299

I've been waiting to weigh 299 for so long. I haven't been below 300 since 2009, then in 2010 quickly shot up to 370 and have been stuck here ever since.

299

I've been weighing daily all week, watching the tenths slowly tick down. I am pretty sure today will be the day, but I take all caution this morning. I normally weigh in my t shirt and underwear. Today I am going topless.

My scale is my spare bedroom, where I keep the blinds open for my cats to look out the window from their posh kitty condo. It was predawn so I thought it was safe to turn off all the lights in the house, and wander in there with just my undies on, and not worry about the window.

I step on the scale, the blue light illuminates me like a Christmas tree. I patiently count before looking down. Please just give me 299.9, I promise to be happy with that.

298.8

What? I laugh. I laugh until I cry. I grab my shirt hanging near by and cry into my shirt.

Then I recall I'm standing nearly naked in front of the window, crying.

Months of hard work, months of never giving up, months of moving my *kitten* until it wont move anymore.

299
Or 298, I suppose.

Fantastic! What a wonderful feeling. I am trying to get to 199! I haven't been there in so many years it's hard to imagine. I am close, but the holidays are here. MFP really helps to keep a rein on holiday munching by tracking the reality of my habits. Think I will make it in near future. Congrats to you for a big milestone! Keep up the good work.

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have done amazing work! We started around the same weight (although mine was higher) and I remember that day so well. I think I logged on to MFP and posted "GUYSGUYSGUYS!!!1111ELEVENTYONE!!!! I AM UNDER 300!"

You have every right to cry, to laugh, to jump up and down, to celebrate. You did an amazing and difficult thing, and I am so proud of you, stranger. You have done something wonderful for your health and future.

*APPLAUSE!!!!* *CHEERS!* *WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

And of course, keep up the great work

While I've been working on losing fat, crossing the 300 pound threshold has been my favorite milestone.
