Last time you were under 200?

Hey everyone I was just thinking and realized I haven't been under 200 pounds in about six years now so when I was 19 years old. Last year I got down to 200 and went through a breakup and never got to see 199. I'm just curious how long it has been for everyone else and what that number will mean to them?

It feels like a lifetime that I have been 200 plus......i do, however, distinctly remember being about 190 in or around 2001 or 2002. My first son was born in 2000, I joined weight watchers for the umpteenth time and I was a stay at home mom. I think not working gave me the time to take care of me. But it didn't last long because son no. 2 was 2004. Almost got back down very close to 200 lbs and then...surprise! 2006 son no. 3 (lol). Fast forward to crazy days, working and very little time....soooo it's been about 14 years. That is a very sobering thought. The boys are all in school now and my job allows me time in the middle of the day so I am really hoping this is my year!0

I would say that I was 19 years old the last time i was under 200... so almost 12 years ago now. I was always the "fat kid" though for most my childhood.
I lost a lot of weight back when I was 17 due to depression. I ended up having to get a lot of professional help while missing an entire year of high-school.
I've only ever known myself as "skinny" or "thin" while being in that really bad mental state so... I really have no idea what it's truly like to be at a healthy weight level.
I'm pretty excited cos this is the farthest I've ever gone and there's really no signs of stopping.
I love my walking.

Wow I am so glad you finally have time to work on yourself this really is going to be your year!0 -
It has been 8 years since I was below 200. It was one of the highlights of my life.0

I think it was the fall of 2014 when I was under 200. I've gained about 40 pounds in the last year and a half or so

Four years ago, I had an "about to turn 60" crisis and I lost 60 pounds. It took me two years, and I felt fabulous. Loved the clothes I could wear. Then I got sick of Nutrisystem food and started to gain it all back again. So, it has been three years since I was under 200. Hard to believe how much can come back so quickly. I'd love to lose 43 pounds by Christmas. I think I can lose ten pounds a month!0
