Goodbye 200s!

Technically I've said goodbye to the 200s before. I got down to my lowest of 193 in June of 2010. As a job searched after my college graduation (still no luck on full-time work in my field- phooey!), I let depression set in and got back up to....215. Ouch. I had vowed not to go above 200 ever again and here I was over it by 15!

I finally decided that if I can loose weight while job searching and dealing with the incredible ups and downs of my search while also living at home with my parents and not having total control over food in the house/what we eat, I can do it anytime, anywhere. I signed up for my second half marathon (ran it in Sept) and got more active with MFP over the summer.

Glad to see I've gone back under 200 for what I hope is the very last time. I'm on a roll this time that feels much more comfortable and effortless. Next goal is to hit 185 (about where I was when I graduated HS).

    Well done!!

    I don't remember the last time I weighed less than 200lbs I'm the closest I've EVER been at my current weight of 202lbs. Believe me, I will be crowing it from the rooftops WHEN I get there.

    WTG you and keep up the good work!! x

  • Congratulations, I feel your pain, I have been up and down between 190-200 for such a long time and then I got stuck in a job where you sit for 8+ hours a day at a call center, the unhealthiest place on earth! I am working my way towards being under 200, that will be such a good feeling, getting under 150....now that day I may cry!

    Great job and keep up the awesome work!
