75 pounds gone, goodbye 300's

Went to the Doctors office yesterday for my regular monthly check in and weigh out. I was disappointed last month when I had only lost 3 lbs, sitting at 303:( So when I stepped on the scale, I had to look long and hard to make sure I was seeing what it was really saying. I lost 10 lbs in the month, almost enough to make me do a happy dance on the scale :) I have not seen a number under 300 lbs for at least 20 years, so I am quite happy. Went shopping for some new pants since my jeans are all 48's. Went to Target and the largest jeans I could find is a size 42. Decided to try them on to see if they fit, and even more to my surprise, they fit and were not even tight. Not ready for 40's, but they are not that far away either. One other good thing about my current weight is my wife said if I get under 300, I get a new phone. Already decided I am getting the new BlackBerry Z30, just need to get down to the local store and pick it up.

    Congrats, celebrate the milestones, they help with the motivation. I'm celebrating a big one today!

    I found I hit a plateau right as I got below 300, it took awhile to see the scale move again, but now I'm very comfortably away from that milestone.

    Keep up the great work!

    Congratulations! I am on the same path right now. I started on MFP at 375 and cannot wait until I cross under the 300 line. It will be for me, same as you, nearly 20 years I have been over 300 lbs.

    That is a huge milestone and you should be really proud of yourself. Nice job!

    Edit - putting in a nice word for the HTC One. ;) lol.

    Congratulations !! It is a big deal to realize that we will never see 300 again. Now to get it so we never see 200 again (I'm half-way there)

    And - I have to agree with the iPhone, having used Androids for years up to this last upgrade
