at my heaviest, I was 223 (27, 5'10, female if that wasn't obvs in my pic)

I've been fluctuating between 210-223 for the past...forever except the summer I worked in landscaping.

I've finally started eating better and less, and I'm slowly starting to go to the gym. For the first time in 9 years, the scale at the gym said 199.8.

I'm ecstatic, but no one I've told is nearly as thrilled. It's kind of a bummer. Thought there'd be some sort of a parade for being below the 200-lb mark. So I'm celebrating by myself and buying myself a little necklace on Etsy. :)

I just had to shout it into space where others would understand the feels.

    That's hard. I can't wait to be out of the 200s. Maybe remind yourself that you're doing this for yourself.

    Crossing that milestone is worthy of being proud

    Congrats to you! 223 was once my "lowest", but then achieved "203" before bouncing back up to 250 today. I would pass OUT should I see 199 on the scale, seriously!
    This is awesome! Keep up the good work, and I celebrate with you!

    Congratulations!! That's a wonderful achievement. And know that people on here are happy for you. I find the most support from this site versus in my real life. I also say take a pic of the scale with that number. I did one when I hit Onderland and taped it to my monitor. It means more than any of the weight loss since then.

    That's awesome!! :) I'm on the brink of hitting 189.9 and holy crap that is going to be earth-shattering!!! Not since my early 20s! Started out at 219 and yo-yo'd between 205-212 for over a decade on endless diets. MFP is the best. I am so happy for you- you inspire me to keep going!!
