Well for the first time in over 15 years I have gone below 200 lbs ... 199.8 this morning! What a great feeling to reach my goal.

Want to thank everyone for the support when it was needed. :drinker:

To all of you at the start of your journey ... you can do this.

This journey of mine started January 2008 at 230 lbs. Joined MFP july 2008 at 224 lbs. since then I lost another 24 lbs. My over all results has averaged out to about 1/2lb per week. Time is your friend, stay focused, log your calories, get some sort of excercise you like, review what you have been doing when things start going the wrong way and remember all the support you can get from this great community of MFP !! :flowerforyou:

Finally just want to say .. Thanks Mike for a great site. :flowerforyou:

    It's great to hear your story because I lose weight very slowly. I am the type of person who needs immediate gratification. If I don't see the results right away I feel defeated. I have been trying to think positively and keep to my routine. I have to lose weight eventually, right?
