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."

8 months shows how disciplined you are to lose it steady and stick with it.  I bet you have never felt better than right now!  Good part is, you get to celebrate again at your next goal weight!

Congrats!

Congrats!!! Keep up the great work!!! Yeah!! I am doing the wild and crazy dance for you!!!!

Wow, what a coincidence! I'm under 200 pounds today too - 199.8. YEAH!

I'm really starting to think the doctor's scale was off when it said I was 213/215 - there's no way I weighed 213/215 two weeks ago and lost 13-15 pounds in those two weeks...

It does feel good though. =D

I'm way prouder of you than me though...I've got a ways to go yet.

Yay! Congratulations! That's a big motivator for all of us, so thank you!

Congratulations!!!  You are doing great!  It's such a great feeling to see those numbers creep down.

Keep it up!

HIP!!!! HIP!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    So excited for you~~~~~~  I can't wait....  17 more lbs and I am there.  Positve news is so refreshing and uplifting.  Not to mention giving all of us a light at the end of the tunnel

not pointless at all!  you deserve a HUGE congratulations!! that is sooooo exciting! you're a motivation for all of us! yaayyy!

This weekend go get yourself a manicure, pedicure or massage to celebrate!!! You deserve some self pampering for all the hard work you have done thus far!

Woot, woot!!! I bet you've had a gleam in your eye and a spring in your step all day, as you well should!

:]

That is awesome. And it's not pointless--as others have said, it's great motivation for those of us who are still struggling to get where you are! Thanks for posting. =)

thats wonderful!

congratulations. Ive restarted a million times, and just want to give up!! I wish i could just wake up skinny.

Thank you for that motivation, keep it up!

Congrats!!!!! 

I'm with the others this post is not pointless.  I helps motivate alot of people to see that this journey we are on does work.  I've got a long way to get to where you are but you (and many others) have proven that slow and steady will get us to our final goal.  I just have to continue on one day a time.

Thank you again!

It is true, slow and steady and I know it gets frustrating when you want to lose 5lbs in a month but you only lose 2lbs or gain even 1lbs. BUT the slow and steady helps it be permanent!

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!

Keep on keeping on!

Awsome! Congratulations.

Congratulations!!!  That is fantastic!

Not pointless at all, these are the types of posts I LOVE TO READ! Congratulations on all of your hard work and well-earned rewards! You look fabulous!!
