219! 219! 219!

Actually, 218.4 this morning.  I’ve still got a ways to go to reach my body fat goal, but 219 was a big intermediate goal for me.  I've been in the 220s several times over the years, but for some reason that's always been the bounce point. I was probably under 220 early in high school, but maybe not; I was already at my current height at 14, and chubby. So we may be going all the way back to junior high to get to the last time I was under 220. And that doesn't really count, since I was shorter then.

So today is great because:

1. I have reached a point that I have never seen in my adult life. 

2. For the first time in my adult life (and probably ever), I am no longer obese.

3. Every loss after this is uncharted territory.

4. As a bonus, this morning I’m wearing 36 pants for the first time I can ever remember.

5. Y’all have helped me get there.

Nicely done.... I know how you measure things through history....I remember my mom. when I was getting ready for the 7th grade....yelling across the store..that she needed 36x27" pants for me.... ain;t this a trip...the journey Russ

FART, FART, FART, FART, FART You have my congrads and envy.

Way to go there oh inspiring one!!!   May the FARTS continue to be with you.

Well done! These milestones are pretty powerful, aren't they? And the best part, I think, is the added gratitude and appreciation and satisfaction. Congrats on being in a great place.

Congrats on your great accomplishment!  Ypor excitement came through load and clear.  Thanks for sharing.

Something to happy about indeed! Nice work.

Good job my friend!  Keep up the good work. God bless,

Congratulations! I'm especially looking forward to 198 myself. I haven't been under 199 in about 6 years. I have hit 199 twice during this time by regular dieting, but stayed there for about a day each time. I'm hoping this time will be different.

After awhile your head will get tired from you shaking it in disbelief!!  Enjoy the ride...Brian

Congratulations! A little tip I got from Dave Becker back when I had just hit that size myself... --don't wait for the "complete drop" into size 34's.. GAP has some size 35 Jeans that are "Goldee-locks- Just-Right!" When you start getting used to the 36's, but not quite ready for the  Magic 34's. Keep it Up!! Best Wishes- Dx
