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."

Not pointless at all!  CONGRATULATIONS! This represents lots of hard work.............

enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congratulations! it's such an accomplishment when you're over 200 hundred pounds and you finally get under that. even if it's 199.5 when i began my weight loss journey in april 2008 i weighed 219 pounds and wore a size 20/22. Now ten months later i wear a size 14 and i have lost 35 pounds and i weigh in at 185 pounds. But for me i don't get on the scale to much. there was a time i didn't get on the scale for months because i don't lose pounds quickly but i do go down in dress sizes. But either way it takes a long time for me to see those results. i don't know if it's because im getting older (32) or that i might possibly have hormonal imbalance but i can cut back calories, fat, eat more veggies and fruits, do cardio, and strenght training and still not see results on the scale or clothes size for months. very, very, frustrating but i will not give up. i do not want to be heavy so i have to do what it takes no matter how long it takes to lose the weight and shape up. I don't remember at what month i saw the scale say 199 for me but when i did see it i was excited too. just to know you r in the 100's makes you feel a little bit of relief even if you're still fat and have a long way to go towards your goal. so i really can relate to your excitement and i love your positive attitude.

thank you guys soooo much! I still have to start working out which has proven to be the hardest thing I have to do. UGH! I should do it now instead of typing BUUUT.... I have no excuse.

keep on keeping on.

thanks again guys!
