    It IS possible.:bigsmile:

    I got there 3/16/2013 after not seeing a 1xx on the scale in like 25 years or so.

    Starting BMI was 44% (I'm 5' 5.5" short) and a recliner potato, junk food addict & chocolate lover.

    One day, one pound, one step at a time & stay committed...good things DO come to those who play the game.:drinker:

    Congratulations to you all, thanks for the inspiration. When I do get there , it will have been 16yrs. I will love the weigh in at the doctors , ever since I gained weight, I have always hated them having to go to the 200's to weigh me.

    25 to go. Busted into twotervile sometime in the mid nineties so it will be a good feeling.

    Twoterville is just as important as onderland, both are big milestones for all of us. I dont know what getting out of three hundreds name is but its just as important too.

    I weighed in at 200.0 on Monday but haven't been able to get back on the scale since. Maybe tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

    Stop shaming people over 200 pounds. I have no intention of weighing less than that ever.

    What are you talking about, I'm not shaming nobody. I've been over 200 for several years, just glad I'm not there anymore. Stay there if you want.

    I'm glad you liked the scale shot, I thought it was a good idea. I am constantly taking pictures of myself with my new tablet, something different.

    Sally I completely understand being so close and it making me crazy, now that its happened I can quit stressing over it and move forward to other goals. But it was sure great, when it happened.Good luck.

    I had reached the point where I could possibly see it this weekend (at 201.9 pounds on Friday), but I gained a lot over the past weekend so now I'm not so sure.

    I posted this on the 30th and hit it today! :drinker:

    I have about 80 pounds left. I started at 300.1, and was down to 260... but went on vacation and that was the end of that. :P

    I have been trying to get under 200 and I still have a couple of pounds left to get there, it seems like I should have been there , but it will come. Where are you?
    I remember beginning my journey at 278 pounds. I set my goal at 190 lbs.
    It was a long journey, and I will never forget that day in Nov 2011 when I stepped on the scale and saw 199.8.
    A feeling of joy more thrilling than I could describe shot through my body like an electric charge. I finally reached 190, and that was great, but again, that day I hit Onderland is what I remember.
