    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 :)

    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. =)

    You are too sweet. you will get there. you've already done half the work! you got this!!

    Congratulations on reaching "onederland". I'll join the paraders.

    I'm not far behind, only 18 pounds to go but dreaming about the day that scale will show 199.

    Congratulations on your great progress!
    I can't imagine the day when I'll get to Onederland (SW:280, CW:263) but I know that if I keep at it, I will get there eventually just like you did. Keep up the amazing work!

    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.

    :)

    Congrats!!! That is a HUGE deal. As someone who hasn't been below 200 pounds in 12 years, I know the feeling. Started this journey 261 and have 6 more pounds until I'm below 200.

    So happy for you! I remember the first time I hit the 100's I thought a parade would happen but I was just relieved and happy. I had some weight gain and this time when I get the 100's I am going to celebrate more because I will never let myself back to the 200's again!

    Hey, sometimes we need that jolt to push us back toward our goals. It's a step toward the right direction!

    I also love your username. i giggled at my desk and got some weird looks from neighboring coworkers :)

    That's awesome. I was 231 at my largest and when my scale finally hit the 199 point something mark, I was so excited. I'm also 5'10" so another benchmark was when I could fit into Junior sized clothing. I got down to 180 and have been pretty content there for a while. Congrats to you!!!

    That's amazing! well done :) When I got down to 185, I was wearing a size 14. I'd love to hit 12 this time around, but no more. i dont want to lose my curves! :)
