Last year at this time I weighed 275 pounds. I just went below 200 pounds for the first time in, um, years and years and years. Decades in fact. :wink: I started using MFP and began seriously focusing on eating higher quality fuel and doing higher quality exercise in March. Thanks MFP!!!!

    I started MFP at 261. Now, 33 pounds later, I'm just drooling to break that 200 barrier. Hope to join you soon!

    Starlight must be saying Meow Wow! I admire a guy who lists his cat as one of his reasons to improve fitness.
    Seriously, congratulations. Crossing over into the hundreds is a special milestone and deserves special recognition.
    How are you going to celebrate?

    Great Job

    I am 4 or 5 lbs away from breaking 200. I look foward to the day.

    Its is a life style change not a diet.

    I am going to celebrate with a 40 mile bike ride.

    Cheers

    Really well done - am hoping to achieve the same before long - that's another mini goal incentive to jot down!

    Heya! Life without a good friend like Starlight is no life at all. :smile: And to celebrate, I am planning to do that 40 mile bike ride that Jim mentioned!
