    Nice! I'm about 3lbs off and determined to push through, I've been hovering around it for flippin' weeks!

    I'm really close with you - 28 pounds and I'll be at the 199 mark. 2 years ago, I got down to 193. Granted, being 44 years old is making things a bit more difficult. My body is hanging onto everything!

    So jealous of all of you (but happy for you too). I've just made 299 (down from 366), so happily in the 200's now, but onederland still seems like a pipe dream.

    Hitting 199 was one of the best things that have ever happened to me! Don't quit! You'll get there!

    LOL! That is how I feel about hitting my normal BMI. Four more pounds. It's taking forever and I've been waiting a long time. :)

    It's not. If you keep going, you will get there. Are you watching the BMI goals? Those are fun to hit. I loved counting down...Obese Class II...Obese...Overweight...nobody was ever so freaking happy to be Overweight as I was!

    I keep my long-term goals in mind, but there are always shorter-term goals to work on and achieve.

    You will get there if you don't quit!!! Have a bad day, like all of us, but never stop!

    I think I feel about Normal as @JordisTSM feels about Onederland...

    Good advice about the short term goals.

    What's the significance of 199? Because it's less than 200? 90kg?

    Seems like an odd numbered miles stone.

    But grats anyway.

    I'm like 16-17 pounds off 199

    I think this is the first time I've see that word. Been using mfp a while now. Maybe I just didn't notice it before. Assumed a spelling mistake.

    You've asked this question before and been told Yes, it's because it's under 200 pounds. That is a big deal for many of us who wanted to be there for many years, but weren't.

    Purely a mental thing for me. I like the sound of being "one hundred and something" rather than "two hundred and something"

    Have I asked about 199 before?

    Weird that you remember that but I don't. :smile:

    Kind of weird! I forget stuff, too. No biggie! I'm sure you'll remember next time. :)

    I'm so close, but I really don't want to crow about it to anyone except for people on the MFP boards. But it's so nice to know there are people out there who really understand the significance. Congrats to hitting onederland!

    So what's the significance of 199 pounds? Less than 200? :wink:

    Yes, the significance is the fact that it is under 200. It is so easy to let yourself get into the 200's but getting out and closer to a healthier weight is "one"derful. Get it?

    I was stuck around 200.6 for 22 days.
    Then after a week of eating take out constantly because my boss was buying it for everyone working insane hours to get a project out the door, I dropped to 199.7. Had another week of the same eating for the same reasons and went to 198.2.
    I'm not sure, but I think my fat cells are trolling me.
