    Like many here, I am there too! Congrats to you, nissamorin, you have done a tremendous job and deserve accolades for your achievement. I reached 199.9 a month ago, but I had to go through a wrestler's routine to hit that weight (minus the laxatives). I am now legitimately below 200 but would like to lose another 25 pounds. After losing weight very fast, my decreases have slowed dramatically, but I'm still going in the right direction and probably more importantly, I have made habits of many much healthier lifestyle choices. All who have posted at or near the 200 level can be proud of their success. Best wishes to reaching your final goal.

    Thank you fitnesspal-ers! Glad to see so many people who are fighting the good fight. I guess the issue of self-sabotage (the word that resonated with me the most from these replies) is one I fight a lot and it sounds pretty common. I'm feeling better now that I have a couple workouts and nights sleep behind the be 19#. I couldn't say exactly what but I can feel something about my perceptions changing and some of the fear evaporating. I'm trying to fully realize that this IS my new life and I WILL get to keep it so long as I want it.

    I would much prefer this problem to the overwhelming weight of morbid obesity I've always felt even if that weight wasn't something I was actively acknowledging. Keep at it everyone!

    Congratulations!

    I just hit my first goal of losing 20 lbs and my next big goal is getting under 200, which is about 23 lbs away now. I can't wait to join everyone in Onederland - I've been away far too long!

    WTG! yes, YAY YOU! what's great is you are recognizing some behaviors in yourself... so now instead of hindset you can leverage foresight and plan for it as you continue on your path to your next goal. ; ) Well done!

    Great job. ONEderland!

    Oh yes - that was my first thought LOL

    Happy Onederland! The self-sabotage monkey is hard to toss; it keeps creeping back up on me. I keep having to remind myself that I deserve to be lean, healthy, happy and whole. Repeat as many times as needed - I DESERVE ____; so I DON'T WANT ____.

    CONGRATULATIONS!! That's got to be an amazing feeling!

    I've been struggling to hit that mark for 2 months now (I thought I'd be able to get from 215 to less than 200 in 2 months, apparently not!), and it's definitely frustrating! I've been hovering at around 203 for about 3 weeks, but I WILL break past this, I just have to learn to be more patient.... (of which I have none, apparently).

    It could be that when you were at a higher weight, you were more desperate to lose it. Once you lose a little, you're not as desperate anymore. Something like that. Lol...They talked about that on the Curves Complete videos. I've been there n done that, as well. I wonder if it's sort of a self sabotage kind of thing. When I was younger and trying to lose, I would lose a little weight, and when someone told me I was looking good, I'd wind up slowly going off my diet, and quitting. IDK why. Not this time, though! I'm kicking booty! :D
