I started my weight loss journey at 209 lbs on October 7, 2011.

I have made slow but positive progress since then and today my weight loss has made me feel like a new person.

I AM NO LONGER A 200 POUND WOMAN!

The scale weighed me in at 199.4 lbs this morning and I cannot fully explain how happy this makes me!

I've lost 9.6 pounds in less than 2 months. MFP is amazing, and I'm so happy and thankful to have found something that works for me and so many other people!

For over a year, I have been looking forward to the day that a 2 will not be the first number I see on the scale anymore. THAT DAY IS HERE and it feels SO GOOD! :happy:

Add me as a friend if you're looking for support, I'm always looking for new friends (the more the merrier I say!) :smile:

Happy Holidays everyone:heart:

    I'm at exactly the same place right now!! When I signed up I was precisely on 200lb and I was kinda upset - knew I was big but I'd never worked it out in lbs before. This morning I weighed and I was 197. It's only the start but it's a good way to start!! Congrats big time :D

    MFP is pretty great. I know it's helped me take control of food.

    I'm so happy for you! I'm waiting for that too. I started my weight loss journey on November 1 and weighed 217.2. As of today, I weigh 207.2. I lost 10 lbs in a month. My goal is not to see a 2 as the first number by the end of December. Keep up the good work. Your story was so geniune and gave me the push to keep going. I just started loggin as of yesterday.

    Isn't that the BEST?!
    You can weigh 298lb and no matter what other number the scale gives you, you still feel like a million bucks when that 2 becomes a 1.
    CONGRATULATIONS!!!
