ONEderland... finally made it!

edited January 20 in Success Stories
I can't begin to explain how excited I am about seeing the 100's on my scale. I have been over 200 lbs for over 7 years now. I have been down to the low 200's before only to hit a wall and give up before ever seeing any more progress. Then usually putting on 20-30 lbs again.

This last year I reached my heaviest ever, 242 lbs. Only being 5'3 that was a lot for my body to handle. Everything was going wrong... breathing, numbness, pain, you name it. All caused by my weight.

I was able to workout and keep track of my eating and lose weight reaching 203 lbs this January 2013. And there I would remain for 8-9 weeks, plateaued. Normally in the past I'd get frustrated and give up, gaining weight. However this time I fought hard, for myself.

Totally worth it!!!! Today weighed in at 198.8 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER LOOKING BACK, gonna continue going strong. :happy:

    Great story! Good for you for not giving up and in pushing yourself forward. Giving up only gets you back to where you started, and if you wanted to be there you never would have started to begin with right? The hardest thing about this type of journey is sticking to it and staying strong even when you hit those hard times and plateaus. If you stay the course you will eventually bust through!

    YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BADLY I NEEDED TO SEE THIS. I AM IN THE SAME BOAT U WERE IN. TURNING 24 ON THE 26TH AND LITERALLY DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THE 100'S I WENT DOWN FROM 224 TO 200 AND HAVE BEEN STUCK AT 200 FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I NEEDED THIS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOUR SUCCESS HELPED ME. THANK YOU AND I AM VERY HAPPY AND PROUD OF U AND I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU.
