I DID IT!!!!! I reached my first goal off 199 this morning. There is nothing grander than jumping on the scale and seeing 199. I haven't had a one in front of my weight for 11 years. This band has brought so many joys to my life!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! When I hit 199 lbs is when I finally felt "skinny" or at least "normal".

Keep up the good work!

That is so great!! You should be so proud of yourself and all of your hard work. While the scale is not the only thing, and the numbers shouldn't matter......welllllll, who the hell are we kidding?!?!!!

Everytime I leave another number behind, I celebrate that victory!!
