I was close to 230 pounds when I started on here, the heaviest I've ever been. I had been in denial for so long and refused to think of myself as over 200. But it came time to face facts, and I did, and I've been using MFP since January and successfully losing weight since!

My last weigh in, I was at 201.5. The past few days, I had just had a really good feeling about it and knew that the next time I weighed in, I'd be under 200 for the first time in more years than I want to know.

And sure enough, I was right! This morning's weigh in I was at 198.4!!

I am so thrilled. This is my first big milestone and I feel great! I love this site! =D

    At the rate I'm going I'm hoping to be there soon too! I'm so excited I haven't been down below 200 as long as I've been with my Fiancé who only weighs at most 150...

    WOOO HOOOO!!! When I lost 30 lbs before my wedding, I got to have that same experience...

    For some reason weighing 1xx is SO different than 200!!

    Great job!! Now, keep it up! :smile:

    Great job!!!! I so hated knowing I was over 200 as well. The first time I was over 200 I was pregnant and rationalized that was not good but, hey, I was pregnant! I was right below 200 fairly soon after baby was born so that was not so bad. But... this time was a different story! Being under 200 is my first huge goal too... then have quite a few from there!

    I am very impressed, keep up the great work!

    WOOT WOOT!!!

    I know was only 15 pounds away from being 200 and that was it for me. I'm not a tall girl and I couldn't "Pull it off" like some others may have.

    I have been on MFP for several months but never really took it as seriously as I should until now. I have lost five pounds and have lessened my need for my asthma inhaler.

    I know that feeling of making that break!

    Keep up the great work and congrats to you! Keep on truckin'!
