I have been in MFP since mid-January and have lost 47lbs so far. I haven't been at all active on the community boards because I didn't feel I had anything special to share, but today I hit a major personal milestone. I got on the scale and it read "199". I'm 5'10", 35 years old, and haven't been under 200 lbs since 2003.

I've been lurking here all year and thank you all for the inspiration to stay on track!

It feels so go to be in one-derland. My goal is to lose another 24 lbs, but for today' I'm celebrating this personal victory.

    That is AWESOME! I am 5'10" and some change, and I cannot wait to be in one-derland! Many congrats to you, dear! I see you only have a couple friends so maybe you only add people you know in real life, but if you'd like a tall girl friend in your buddy list, feel free to add me! Us tall gals gotta stick together :wink:

    Congrats again! :bigsmile:
