it isn't much, but, for the first time in about a year, i'm under 200! weighed myself this morning to see 199.x on the scale!!!

after miscarrying in 2006, having a baby in jan 2008 and being stuck in the worst job during 2010-2011, my weight steadily crept up from 142 to 205. too see it under 200 again, even though (it's only a fraction of a pound) makes me so happy and motivated to continue.

thanks for letting me share this news, the giddiness is too much to contain lol

good luck to all of us with out goals.

    Hell yeah! Welcome to ONEderland!

    While I haven't been over 200 lbs, I can totally understand that HUGE feeling of accomplishment (and rightfully so!) by hitting a milestone like that. I'll throw myself a damn party when I get below 150 :) Great job!

    Congrats. Don't minimize your great accomplishment. Whether it's 1 pound or 100,YOU took control and decided to put in the work. You should be very proud of what you have done and what you will do in the future. Continued success!

    I know what that means too as I hit under 200 last week for the first time in 20 years. I have never seen the 190's since I was pregnant 20 years ago. It is so weird to see these new numbers on my scale after coming close to it dozens of times!!

    Congratulations and let us keep up the journey through the 190's now!!

    It isn't much??!!? It's HUGE! Be proud! I think I will probably cry when I finally get under 200! I haven't seen a # like in many many years! Way to go! Keep up the great work!
