    Congratulations!!! There are always going to be people not excited (enough) about our victories, because they can't understand that these are victories. I was 287lbs at my highest weight. When I got down to 250, there were those who, instead of encouraging me, basically opined I still needed to lose another 100. Which, of course, I already knew. Now, I'm down to 209 as of today and it is the biggest victory! Every pound is, because every pound is closer to 199 and THEN, I know, my goal weight will really feel more attainable, just like 199 began to feel attainable once I got down to 250. Again, congratulations! I'm going to think of you for inspiration if I get discouraged before 199 happens. Ten pounds feels far away, as always, but I know we'll all reach our goals with the hard work we put in. =)

    That's great! Just like what's said above don't let other lack of enthusiasm get to you. Did you foo your under 200 pound dance? You gotta have a dance for that. Or a song, you can hum it to yourself at work. B)

    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.
    So, i actually tried to take a pic of my scale at home the other day, because it read 199.6, but when i stepped back on it, it was up to 200.4 and didn't go back down again! And no, i wasn't holding my phone. So, I didn't count it, but I am definitely going to take a pic next time. Probably make it my phone background for a while

    :)

    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!!

    I'm in the same boat. you inspire me! That, and my bf said when i reach 189, he's buying me new sneakers :)
