    Did anyone else get sad when she said 8th grade was in 2000? :)

    Great job. ONEderland!

    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!

    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).

    Dang right... Go you!!! That is an awesome feeling... I cried like a little girl when I finally got to Onederland... Looking at your ticker gives me hope and inspiration... Thank you!

    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

    OH good Lord yes I am doing the same thing with the 300 pound mark. I started out at over 400 *yikes* But hey that's what denial gets you. I was always pretty "healthy" and active, just really big, but then as I really got up there...I started slowing down and really hurting. SO, then it was time. I have hovered just above the 300 pound mark about 3 times, never quite getting there despite all my big talk about FINALLY doing it this time. I don't know if there is a name for that or not, but it's really puzzling why we do the things we do to ourselves. Congrats to making it though, you totally ROCK!

    Awesome job on getting below 200! But even more amazing is the 119 lb lost I see on your ticker!!!!!!! That is a HUGE accomplishment! You are definately doing an awesome job!

    I remember when I got under 200 the first time. It felt so good, but what was even better for me, was when I weighed less than my husband! That was great!

    As for not being as strick with my food and exercise when I get close to a goal, I do this too. I call it self sabotague! idk why I do it! But I do!

    But hey that's what denial gets you.

    Definitely! I call pre-gym me "delusional", it's a pretty negative word but waking up and being aware has been the hardest and best part of all this.
