I have waited over 5 years for this day!!!!!

I am finally under 200lbs!!!!!! This morning I am officially 198.8. EEEEEKKKK!!!!!

This is a pointless post I know, BUT I never thought I'd see the day again. When I first saw the numbers I couldn't believe it. I stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure. 198.8. wow. This has completely re motivated me again. aaahhhH!!!!!! ok.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and remember,

"I'm saying it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it is going to be worth it."

Congrats!  Isn't that just the best feeling!  I know when I finally got under 200 I felt like it was really - I really was losing weight and I really was becoming thin.

And it's not pointless, it's very inspirational to many people out there :)

OMG Congratulations!! 

It IS motivating to know others are succeeding!!  I'm totally motivated! :)

all right! time for the happy dance!

(I'm lame...don't know how to change the title of the link.. Here's what it would say if I could, "Hamster Dance"

and I stated at 235lbs. This journey began in May so it has taken me a loooooong time. But it just goes to show that even if it takes 8 months to lose 37lbs the feeling of success and motivation will still be there!

Keep on keeping on!

Now I just have to start working out. hmph. hehe.

trendstudent - that is hilarious but it made me start crying lol... Damn these hormones. Thanks, I am going to jump around my house right now.

Yay!  That's so exciting!

I'm at 208.6 right now, so I'm almost there.  (By the end of March at the latest).  

Congratulations!

hiya

Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS.. it is really motivating to hear.. keep going :-)

Yeah congratulations topanga,  you post is not pointless it very motivational to those of us who are on the same journey.

Mega congratulations! Your photos are amazing! To be honest, you look like you've lost more (esp. the last pic), which may be that you've been putting on muscle as well...? You should be SO proud of yourself!

Congratulations!!!  That's really great!

Congrats and welcome to Onederland!  It's not a pointless post and you should announce this wonderful development!  When I went from being obest to just being overweight I wanted to shout it to the rooftops!  Well done and keep up the great work!

P.S. You look amazing!

Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment! Be proud!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Woohoo!  That's a lot of weight to lose and its not been a year since you started improving your health.  Bet your heart etc. is doing a grand dance.  Keep it up- you for sure have helped me to think about NOT heading up, pound wise.  It really wasn't that long ago that I weighed 200 pounds.  Fantastic and congratulations. 

Not pointless at all! These are my favorite posts to read!

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Gosh that is so motivating, I'm trying so hard to get under 160 because I haven't seen it in 3 years. You're an inspiration! Keep it up and CONGRATS!

Congratulations!!  You are so awesome.  Thanks for the motivation booster!! 

Congrats!! I've gotten back on the scale a few times to make sure the lower weight is correct, so I know that feeling of excited skepticism!

Congratulations! That's really fantastic. I can't wait to get there myself!
