Hi MFPers!
I am still a newbie here, but I'm really finding that this works for me! I am a 25 year old grad student, and I finally weighed in under 200 lbs for the first time since high school! My starting weight (about a year ago, before starting here) was 235. In July I was 211. Today I'm 199.
It probably isn't a big deal to most people, but it is a huge accomplishment for me to be on this side of 200 -- and I'm never going back!
I'm aiming to get down to about 150-155 to start out. My next short term goal is 185. I would love to make more friends on here with similar goals!
I hope you're all having a successful and happy day -- if I can do it, so can you.

It's a huge deal! Hitting onderland is a massive massive deal for a hell of a lot of people on here so congratulations! When I hit 199 a few months ago I said exactly the same: Never going back.
Very very well done again

Hi! We have similar goals... I started out at 247 and want to be at 199. That is my first goal. I can't tell you how many times I have started and quit..... I wanted to be 199 by my birthday but I quit and now I am starting again. Right now I am at 221.5 so I have 22 pounds to go.

What is this "Onederland" of which you all speak? It sounds very Peter Pan like. I don't think I want to go there.0 -
LOL! It's when you weigh 199 or less!
