    Nah, be proud! There's something about that number. I was chatting with a woman the other day who had listed her "milestones" on her profile page. She started at 307 lbs or something like that. One of her milestones was when she got down to 207 lbs (100 lbs lost). The very next listed milestone was 200 lbs. Only seven lost but she was as happy to be under 200 lbs as she was to have lost the first 100 lbs. Pretty cool. :)

    Congratulations to you and best wishes! :)

    I said I wouldn't reply anymore because there were too many to keep up with, but I am just exponentially blown away by each and every comment! I expected maybe one, but they just keep coming! I am so glad I decided to suck it up and post. Looks like I have encouraged others, and others are encouraging me, too!!! Such a wonderful day.

    There is something about this number!

    Way to go! It's like the number 200 has some magical negative affect on our psyche.

    The same happened to me just this week, finally back under 200lbs after peaking at 231lbs or so. Never going back again! 168lbs is my goal.

    Congratulations! Seeing that hundreds digit bump down to a 1 after being in the 2's all this time must be awesome. Kind of like watching an odometer go backwards.

    My goal is 205, which is what I weighed in college. Hearing your excitement at being below 200 makes me want to readjust my goal weight to be below 200. I weighed 195 when I graduated from high school.

    Fantastic! Glad you broke that barrier. I didn't think I would ever get back under 200 again after 25 years, but it happened last fall, and am working to stay there. Good going, and keep it up!

    I am lucky that I carry my weight well. 199 on me still looks fat, but I still have curves and a waist, so I want to take a moment to be grateful for that.

    We can all do this.

    Welcome to the club. Just yesterday a friend and I IRL were chit chatting and saw a lovely woman walk by who was by no means thin. We both commented that she looked fabulous and if we were able to carry our weight like that, flat belly/thin waist and hippy and chesty, we'd be more relaxed in our weight loss efforts and happy with ourselves already right now!

    So just know when you walk around today and until you drop more weight, you are making some women jealous and getting at least our compliments "behind your back". LOL. Not every group or pair of women chit chatting are haters some of us are window shopping for the new bodies we are working towards and every level on the way.
