But for the first time since high school (11+ years) my number has a 1 at the front of it instead of a 2 or a 3.

Whats got 2 thumbs, weighs less than 200 lbs, and is ready to shave it's 200 lb beard?

This Guy!

For comparison, here's me at Christmas 2012 (around 300 lbs)
2009-12-25.jpg

Me being the hockey fan that I am, once I got down to 220 lbs I decided it was "playoff" time and decided not to shave until I got to 200 lbs. Here's the clean shaven me (apparently I forgot how to and cut myself haha)

So 199 isn't magic, my beer gut didn't instantly disappear or anything like that, but it does feel good to finally cross that milestone off my list.
