Hi all, my name is Carri ( I am 30 years old and married - no kids ) and I have been doing WW since Jan 6th of this year and just this morning got down to 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting so long to get under 200 - I know it is not alot under but to see that number on the scale made me cry !!!!
I started off at 233.5 back on 1/6/04 so I have lost 34.5 pounds since then, I am really proud of myself, although I have quite a ways to go, at least I know that it CAN be done and it WILL be done...
Thanks for letting me share

Congratulations!

That is great.
I know for me seeing 199 on my scale would be a huge deal!!!

congratulations, carri! i think that is wonderful. i can't wait for the day that i see the underside of 300. i've been in the 300s for so long that i think i'll have cardiac arrest the day i weigh and i'm 299!!! but i think that is excellent news and a job well done.

cheers,
samantha

Thanks everyone, it is a huge deal, as I said it made me cry...when you try for so long and you think it wont happen, just to see it on the scale was so great...but I need to get at like 195 or so before I feel really great, with the way weight fluctuates sometimes - I am too close to the 200 mark - if you girls stick to your programs and just look forward to the end result you will get there, I am proof of that ... thanks again

Congratulations!!! What an exciting accomplishment!

Thanks Jennifer, and I owe alot of it to this web site, for the encouragement I have received, still have a ways to go but I will get there!!!!!

Congrats!!!

Thanks Jenne - looks like you are very, very close yourself!! Good luck!

Congrats to you. I'm almost crying for you....mainly because I am so close to that mark also and can feel the emotions right now that you are going through. I hope to be there in a couple weeks. Its a wonder what we can do, when we control ourselves. Applause to you.
SW: 319/ CW: 206/ GW: 150

Thank you Sunflowermama - I have accomplished alot but what you have done is very, very impressive...You have lost over 100 pounds and counting!!
You are truly an inspiration and I wish you continued success, you will meet that goal!!! And so will I !!!! Thanks again.

Please let me add my congratulations! I KNOW how wonderful you must feel because I have the same goal and it seems so unattainable at times. You are doing a great job!

I remember when i hit the 199 I was overwhelmed with emotions too. I didnt believe it at first so i had to do it 2 or 3 times to make sure it read correctly. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
