199.75

I have to breeze in and breeze out as I'm on my break at work, but I could NOT wait to post this: Before I went to work, I finally FINALLY broke the 200 mark and was 199.75. It has been 18 years.....wow!!!

YOU MUST HEAR ME SCREAMING ALL THE WAY FROM CONNECTICUT! I AM SO THRILLED FOR YOU!!! TOLD YOU IT WOULD HAPPEN, WOMAN!!! GO OUT AND CELEBRATE, BUY SOMETHING NICE FOR YOURSELF, GO UP TO A COMPLETE STRANGER AND GIVE HIM/HER A GREAT BIG HUG, I DARE YA!!!! WHAT A STUPENDOUS DINA DAY...DINKA DOESN'T JUST DOO...DINKA HAS!!! YIPPEE!!! Love to you, Maureen

I hear you Maureen! I hear you! But guess what? When I got off work this morning and got in the shower, I was 197!!!!! How incredible is that? I'm so HAPPY!!!! Dina

That's GREAT Dina, this is just really terrific news! A cautionary tale -- like so many others, my weight has been fluctuating some 4 lbs. up and down on any given week. Don't be surprised or alarmed if you find that you've gained 2 lbs. back -- you'll lose it again, I promise. When this first started happening (about a month ago) I was devestated. Now, I just blow it off because I know that 2 lbs. I gained in the morning will be gone by the time I go to bed at night -- I can't explain it, just another one of those WLS phenomena -- just don't freak if it happens, ok? Good for you, sweetheart! I'm so, so happy for you. NOW IT'S LIZBET'S TURN!!!! Love, Reenie

Oh yes, definitely - I am QUITE familiar with the seesaw. I've been doing it the whole time I've been losing. I claim the low and ignore the bounces back up (unless they stick for a long time, of course). I know that before all is said and done I'll likely bounce back up above 200 again, and YES, I will be peeved to see it, but overall I'm ready for it. Good incentive to keep me on the straight and narrow not have to move that scale bar past the 150 side though! And I'm with you - it's Elizabeth's turn next! Woohoo!!! Dina

WOOHOO!!!!! FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! Nic 291/161/???

Whoopie for you Girl!!! Joy

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Before you know it you'll be at 150 just like Reenie! good luck and god bless, pam

Thank you so much everyone! I am just jazzed. And of course, as I just posted to Maureen, I got on the scale before I showered this morning and I was 197! Just blows me away! ::sigh:: FINALLY!

YOU GO GIRL!!!! Joan
