I weighed in today at 199.8!!! I am soooooooo excited! I'm not leaving yet though! I'm not going to be comfortable until I hit at least 199 even. I think I'll stick around until I hit 198! I can't even remember last time I was 199. All I know is I woke up one day my sophmore year of college (I went through a huge depression) and I was over 200. I took a lot of anti-depressants that year and gained at least 30 pounds from those. I cried whenever I hit 221 a year and a half ago. I just remember looking at my boyfriend and crying because I felt so ugly. The good thing is he looks at me every morning as says Good Morning Beautiful! He doesn't care what size I am, but I have to do this for myself.
kateleestar - Well, I think that's amazing you're doing a 5k! I've been wanting to do one, but that scares me. Haha. I haven't gotten my endurance up to running yet. Running intimidates me. If I could walk a 5k without feeling like an idiot, maybe I'd sign up for one lol. Good luck, though! Regardless of whether you're out of the 200s in 19 days or not, doing a 5k is an amazing accomplishment!
ihavethemusicinme - Woohoo! Congrats! Keep up the good work! I can't remember the last time I was less than 200 lbs. I'm sure I was a teenager. My ex didn't care about my size either, he loved me for me. Well, at least he used to. Anyways, that's awesome and keep going!

I am hoping to get out of the 200's in the next 2 months (maybe sooner!). Just popping in to let ya'll know I was here and plan to follow along as well.
So new reasion I need to lose weight. My brother started a fire in the back yard today that got out of control almost getting the gas tank and our house before the fire trucks got here and with the fire a few feet away and everyone doing everything they can to keep it from getting to the house. I fell and got sick and there was nothing I could do to help thank God for volunteer fire fighters.

Last year I made a big change to my lifestyle, started working out almost every day and eating more healthily. When I got to 197lb I swore I'd never let myself get on the wrong side of 200 ever again, and felt like I was on my way to my goal.
Well guess what? Six months later I'm at 210lb, after eating whatever the **** I want for the last few months and gradually going to the gym less and less regularly.
Finally today something clicked. I woke up early, had a great workout and swim and came home full of enthusiasm to have a fresh start. Hope to be out of the 200s by the end of March at the latest, and on my way to being happier and healthier this summer!
It is so crazy because I posted January 10th.
And I remember thinking I am still quite away to getting under 200...
And now I am only 8 pounds away and I am like this is nothing!
201.8 this morning...up 0.2 but today Saturday/Sundays are rest days for me so I'm not worried. Just really excited I stayed at 201!! Hoping for another awesome week!
Oh my god lord, I really well off the wagon...I'm really disgusted with myself. However today is my second day sober and eating on plan (its quite an issue) and my first time back to working out at all. My skin, my whole body literally hurts, it's really hard to explain. I suppose b/c I put on SO SO much weight so quickly. I had a moment today, it was pretty low. I had the hardest time even cutting my own toenails. I'm just...enough already. I have NOTHING that fits. This has got to change.
A lot of you all are already well on your way, that's inspiring.
So I recently hit the 20 lbs lost mark, which is fantastic, but it's making me nervous. (I know my ticker says 40 lbs lost total, but the first 20 was lost last summer and thankfully stayed off, and the last 20 lbs have been more recent) I've never lost more than 20 lbs at a time before so it's really important for me to get past this point. What's really bugging me is that the scale hasn't budged at all in almost a week when in previous weeks the pounds have been just melting off.
I know it's probably normal, but I imagine this is why I usually stop at 20 lbs lost. I was really hoping for a big loss this week especially since last week was a little on the low side. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it if I don't lose anything at all by my weight day, which is Thursday. Tell me I'm being a baby and to get over it. Lol
