When I told my doctor I wanted to weigh below 200 he told me being 6' tall and having to lose as much as I did I would be lucky to see below 225lbs. Well this morning after a few weeks toying around the 200-202 mark, I did it!!! The scale said 196.8 but I was afraid to take a pic with no clothes on lol so when I put my clothes on, it went back to 198 but I did it!! I am in wonderland. There is a pic on my profile to prove it! I thought I would be happy to get below 200 but I was more than that. I cried for 20 mins. I haven't told my husband yet but I printed the pic and put in on the fridge. We are home alone with no kids this week so I can wait to see what he says.

This was so worth it. I can't wait to see where I finish. I may can get to 175lbs, who knows!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at work and I'm sitting here crying right along with you. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an incredible day. I'm only a few pounds behind you although I'm quite a few inches below you. At 6 feet you make me feel like a shorty at 5'5".

Thanks Iris. It was really unbelievable. I have been in the less than 210 lb range since Feb. and I really thought I wouldn't get below but I just kept trying and wishing. People tell me I am skinny now but I told them I just want a 1 in front of the #s. I really felt super self concious with the 2. I hope and pray it stays gone! Yeah and I guess I would tower over you, lol.

thanks again

Congrats and that is simply amazing. I am 6'1" and my doctor tells me the EXACT same thing, probably will never be under 200.

Hopefully, I will be there with you sooner than later.

Congrats again and Enjoy every minute of it.

Take Care!
