Onederland - 166 lb's down!

It's been a banner week. Yesterday I busted through the mini-plateau I've been experiencing for the last 2.5 weeks. In doing so I went from "obese" to simply "overweight" on the BMI chart. :happy:
And if that wasn't enough ... This morning I weighed in at 199.4! :drinker:
My original goal was to be sub-200 by January 1st, but I didn't quite make it. Actually, 200lb was my original final goal. I figured I'd never even get to that point. Then as I got closer, I moved it to 180, and then finally down to 165, which is just at the top end of the healthy BMI range. 145 would be the midpoint of the healthy BMI range for me, but I can't quite imagine that just yet.
Here's a crappy cell phone picture to mark the occasion:

I wish I could have you come and personally talk to one of my co-workers. Who is where you started and the dr is telling him to lose weight. You are such an inspiration.0

Thanks for all the ... you guys really keep me going!
This community has been a continuing source of inspiration for me since the very beginning! I know I couldn't have made it this far without it!0 -
That's awesome! Thanks you for sharing, very inspiring!0

That's great!! I know how you feel. I've lost 155lbs myself. I'm at my goal weight though, and believe me when I tell you that maintaining is a challenge too. Keep up the fabulous work- for yourself, your kids, significant other, and for all those around you. I've had tons of people tell me that I've inspired them. That wasn't why I lost the weight, but it's a nice feeling knowing that others could lose weight from seeing the transformation in yourself!0
-
THAT is AWESOME! You will get to your goal...we all will! :happy:0
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Excellent transformation. You just motivated me to keep at it because the weight will definately come off in time.:happy:0

Very impressive. I am on a similar journey starting at 353. Only 2 weeks in so I am on the opposite end. I hope I make it as far as you did. That is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.
