in Introduce Yourself
I am not far over 200, but I'm just so excited to really work at getting under 200. It's only a number, but its also a doorway.
And once I'm through that door, I wan't to close it and throw away the key, and never go back there. :smile:

    Amen to that. I haven't been able to break it yet. I got within ten pounds last year and then I don't know what happened... But yeah, I feel ya. Once I get below that I am never, ever going back!

    Me too. I weighed in at 199.8 this morning but then subsequent scale readings all had me at 200.6. What a tease! It may be just a number but we all know what goes into losing weight so milestones are a nice reward.

    I wasn't that overweight, but enough to feel a whole lot better with less midsection. Seems simple but I didn't realize how much extra weight slows you down, even 10 lbs.

    Good luck all.

    Me too. I think if I can make it under 200 I'll be able to keep going. I have 11 pounds to loose and I'll be there. Wish me luck:)

    i am also looking forward to getting under the 200 mark. I did achieve a few years ago but the weight gradually went back on. This ttime I am not dieting but eating healthy and treats are in moderation. good luck.

    I am part of that gang, too! I haven't been to ONEderland in almost 10 years. I've gotten to 202 twice, got discouraged and slid back to my old bad habits. I truly believe this time I will make it. I have a great deal of family support (we are all going to the gym together) and the amazing support and guidance I get from MFP! This is the first time I'm truly able to track my caloric intake, as well as my caloric expenditure, and to monitor it throughout the day. Rather than good luck, I wish a strong heart, determination, resolve, will-power, and perseverance to us all!

    Can't for that day. I remember not to long ago want to see it below 300. Not I am only 36 pounds away from the big 200. The scale will be my new profile pic when I get there.
