I Broke 200!!!!

Finally - After a year and a half, I have broken the 200lbs mark. (I dealt with 3 plateaus - one of which was a 6 month plateau)

I'm at 199 today!!!  I haven't been under 200lbs in 4 years.

Granted, the highest weight I noted was 245.  I may have been heavier... but I didn't document it...

I'll be posting measurements this weekend on my journal.

But I just wanted to say thanks to all those who have helped me by encouraging me, supporting me and helping to clarify things for me when I was confused!!

THANK YOU CC!!!

I have 24lbs left to go!  Hopefully this part of the journey won't be as bad as the first part... 

Woo hoo!  How wonderful, what a great feeling!  I did the same today and am so excited.  I have a similar story, first time without a "2" in front in a very long time.

Wow,

Wonderful!

you both have done a good job!

i am waiting to be under 200s too.

You look great!  I checked out your pictures and think that you have done an amazing job so far!  Keep up the good work.

That is VERY exciting!  I can't wait to be below 200 either (hopefully by Jan. 1 as I am 225 now).  GOOD FOR YOU AND KEEP IT UP!  You'll be at that goal weight in no time.

YAY YOU!!!!!!

I'm excited for you. I am about 10lbs shy of breaking that mark too and I haven't seen anything with a 1 in front of it since I was like 17. (i'm 23 now) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

Yay for you!!!

I'm so happy for you. You inspire me to keep on going. Good job!

I can't wait to be there with you under the 200 lbs mark.

Congrats!  That is amazing and very inspiring!  Keep up the fabulous work!

Congratulations on breaking the 200 barrier!! and congratulations on losing 45lbs!!!

*hugs*

kudos on getting under the 200 marks! It is a fantastic feeling isn't it? I was on a cloud when it happened to me a few months ago. I haven't been under 200 in 20 years.

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to you on reaching this milestone.   It is one that is hopefully in my near future (my goal is to get to under 200 by January 1, 2009, am currently at 217, started at 284 February 1, 2008).

It's been a long haul for you (and all of us on the same journey), but after settling into our new lifestyles it really isn't such a miserable experience, is it?  I'm actually enjoying my new lifestyle.  Enjoying the healthier foods .... funny, when eating high calorie, high fat, high sugar foods the healthy stuff tasted lousy.  After ditching the high-everything foods and eating clean for awhile, my fresh fruits, veggies, salads and lean proteins taste absolutely delicious.  I'm enjoying my meals like never before!

Anyone else experiencing the same reaction to clean eating?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  I know how excited you are I was sooo thrilled when I finally fell below 200 you can do it the rest of the way! I am sooo excited for you!
