I officially weigh less than 200lbs... Horray!!! Down 28lbs... and 2% body fat...

As of this weekend I weigh 199.4. I honestly did not think that I would see a day when the scale ever was below 200. I cried... really. My loss is back on track now. Thank you for all the advice you gave me on my last post. It helped. I did not increase my daily caloric intake...but, I am now working with a range. 1500-1750. The goal is to stay as close to 1500 daily as possible, but on days when I my calorie intake /expenditure ratio puts me below 1200... I eat a little more. I do not eat back my expenditure... just notice that on those days I am a little hungrier, and eat more... but never over 1600.

I also incorporated a down day... so I no longer work out every day. I am a lot less sore. I am walking 2-3 miles a day... and have reached my goal of a 15 minute walking mile. On days off I do 3 miles... on work days only 2. It seems to be working... I have lost 6lbs in the last 3 weeks.

I like the range... it makes life easier on the weekends... when we have family parties, and go out. It is nice to have that little extra... and still feel like I am on track. You all might try it. I rarely eat the 1750...but, it is nice to know that I can on occasion. I managed to eat a cheeseburger at Red Robin... and stay in my calorie goal for the day... and I had the fries.

All of you have been such a help and blessing over the last 4 months... thank you.

 

under 200?!  congrats!!!  how awesome!!!

Congratulations for the great job u done. With your testimony u have proved that it can be done.keep up the good work.

Oh I am so close to this I can feel it :)  I'm significantly below 210 for the first time in years myself, and if/when I drop below 200, I may cry too!

GOOD JOB!

Congrats on under 200!  It's amazing how great a milestone makes you feel :)

I fluctuate too...it makes life a lot easier and my eating seems more natural.  I eat 1450-1600 depending on my workouts and  hunger.  When I add for the week it always works out. 

Congratualtions on your entrance into One-derland! I can't wait to enter the gates of One-derland myself!

You are doing a great job. Keep up your good work. (I love that your inner goddess knows kung-fu!)

Me too, I was 199.2 or was it 199.4 this morning also. It does feel great since I do not remember the last time I was under 200 pounds.

Congratulations on your milestone.

You go AJ.... congrats. We will have to have a virtual champagne toast. Tomorrow of course... I have used up all my calories for the day... lol. Good Work.

CONGRATS! :) I would (will) probably cry too.

You should be very proud of yourself.

*does happy dance with you* Doesn't it feel GOOD? It only gets better from here on out. You rock. What are you going to do to celebrate? When I go to RR I get their chicken sandwich. Oh man that sounds so good right now. Their fries rock.

Congratulations!  I think I'd be doing (clumsy, funny-looking) somersaults!  Enjoy your celebration!

WOW WTG GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be VERY proud of yourself.  I too cried when I got below 200~

WELL DONE!
