Why yes, yes it is!!! 199 pounds on the scale this morning! WOOOO FREAKING HOOOO! 51 pounds GONE and I have 49 pounds until my goal! It sucks, I should have taken some progress pictures. I started in a size 20 at 250 pounds and now am down to a 14/16 at 199 pounds (Wearing size 14 pants today!)

    I know how that feels.

    This evening my 3 changed to a 2. First time in around 8 years that I've been out of the 300 club.
    I'm sure you're feeling just as elated as me!

    Keep up the good work!

    good job! it's so exciting to finally see those numbers go down. i can't wait to get back into the "one" hundreds again....wow, it must feel great! :wink:

    Thank you all so much.. all of you are such an inspiration to me. Keeping me pushing all those days I don't want to go to the gym or I want a snickers bar (which i have indulged in only once!)
    It's getting harder now to drop the weight. I'm lucky to be getting a pound a week. I'm terrified I'm going to wake up one morning and be back at 250! haha nightmare city!

    I admit I am jealous. I would love to have made that jump out of the 200's. I am only 2 pounds away, but I lose very slow. About a half pound / week. But that is better then gaining. CONGRATULATIONS, I bet you never want to see the 200's on the scale again. Such a mile stone. Good for you.
