I haven't recorded it yet because my weigh-in day isn't until Monday, but sometimes I step on the scale mid-week out of curiosity, just to see how things are going along and where things are fluctuating. I did this on Wednesday and saw the number 299.3. Maybe a fluctuation, I didn't really know, so I didn't record it and went along with my day. Well, I got curious again today and stepped on the scale just to see where I was and it is STILL 299.3


299 pounds. I haven't been UNDER 300 pounds in four or five years. This is huge for me and has only boosted my motivation to watch that number drop lower and lower! I was at a point where I thought I was NEVER going to see under 300 again, yet here it is and I feel fantastic!

    Congratulations!! Hang in there and you'll make your goals. I hit mine yesterday. It's a lot of work. But, making it was SO worth it.

    don't weigh in through out the week...you will only obsess about it and then teh stress will cause you to retain water weight. weight in once a week and even if the number doesn't change you have to step back and think of how you feel and what you've accomplished. one more bit of advise is to take pictures..... wear the same outfit every time as well i took pictures every 3months. it really helps because you may not see the change but man when you go through your pictures it will amaze you. also take your measurments...same thing u may not see the # on the scale change but u will lose inchs! I've been on my journey for 18months now........... good luck with your healthier journey..... Ashley

    There's something to really celebrate...even if it is mid-week. It's a milestone and something to inspire you to hit your next one! Enjoy the fruits of your labor on Labor Day weekend :)

    You're right it is a HUGE milestone. Congratulations and welcome to the 200s. Set yourself lots of minigoals if you haven't already, and revel in meeting each one of them. Eventually you'll reach the next huge one.

    I'm hoping to see ONEderland by weeks end, but whether that happens or not remains to be seen.
