So today I weighed in at 199lbs. I am SO EXCITED. Hello Onederland! I haven't weighed under 200lbs in 5 or 6 years... And even then it lasted a week or two and wasn't maintained. 199lbs was my first mini goal! Now on to the next mini-goal: 175lbs.

I've also lost a lot in my measurements. I wish I had started doing measurements from day one, but I didn't start until about a month in. I'll list below the way I do my measurements. (I am high-waisted so I wanted to do navel, too. And I don't have much in the way of hips is another reason why.)

Starting Weight: 216 on 6/20/14 | Current Weight: 199 on 8/27/14 | Total Loss: 17lbs in 9.5 weeks (Average: 1.79lbs/week)

Measurements: (Starting Measurement Date: 7/21/14; Current Measurement Date: 8/27/14; 5 Weeks)
Bust: 48in --> 47in | Total Loss: 1in
Underbust: 42in --> 40.5in | Total Loss: 1.5in
Waist: 43in --> 40.5in | Total Loss: 2.5in
Navel: 46in --> 44in | Total Loss: 2in
Hips: 47in --> 45in | Total Loss: 2in
L. Thigh: 23in --> 22.5in | Total Loss: 0.5in
R. Thigh: 23in --> 22.5in | Total Loss: 0.5in
R. Arm: 14in --> 13.75in | Total Loss: 0.25in
L. Arm: 14in --> 13.75in | Total Loss: 0.25in
TOTAL INCHES LOST: 10.5inches

    Congrats and welcome to this side of 200 lbs!

    I broke the barrier about a month to month and a half ago, first time since I was in 8th grade.

    Congrats keep up the hard work. Keep setting realistic goals. I got under 200 February 2013 for the first time in 16 years and have remained under it.

    I am only 16 pounds from Onederland and I will be jumping up and down (well not literally) for joy when I reach that goal. Good for you on your success of your first goal! Keep up the good work!
