Getting under 200 lbs

[TN_girl21 1]

I am about 4 pounds away from being where I was weight wise 2 years ago. Every time I have lost weight, I can never get passed 200. Well, now I'm 204 and scared to death that I will never weigh less than 200. Is this normal, or am I crazy????

You'll get there! I've got 8-9lbs to go and I can't wait to see 199lbs. Make sure you are exercising and getting your Water in and you will see the 2 go away soon!

No, I don't think your crazy. Remember this time you have a tool to help with the weightloss. It will truely be different this time! Keep up the great work, you will be in onederland before you know it. Good luck!

Thanks yall!! I'm just so ready to lose these 5 pounds!! I'm trying so hard to get to 180 pounds. I know that's still "over weight", but I will feel so much better about myself when I reach 180.

reverie...You've done great on your weight loss since your surgery!!

We can be the 'almost to onederland' support group. LOL I stalled out at around 205-207... just kinda went back and forth between those numbers for about a month. Yikes! I think my body is quite happy right there. But, I decided I just wasn't gonna accept that. I didn't get surgery just to get halfway to goal. So, I recently stepped things up a bit, cut out alcohol completely, and upped my exercise so I am taking 7 exercise classes a week now (and added strength training). Sure enough, the scale started moving again and I'm back to losing at a good clip. I am really hoping to see 199 by the end of this month! Woohoo!!!

funny I was JUST THINKING about this very thing....Whenever I've dieted (except WW got to 140 on WW). I ALWAYS stall right around 200 lbs. I just want to see that scale hit 199. Not this week !

Mine won't be this week either! haha I'm hoping within the next 3 weeks I will be at 199.

I think in metric, but felt the same way about 100kg. Every now and then I could get below it for like 20 seconds. With the band, it was my first major goal, to get below 100kgs and I did stall at 101 for what seemed like ages. then suddenly I was 99.5, it was a joyous occasion! I felt like I held my breath for weeks, waiting for it to bounce back over but it never did. But I never felt "safe" till I saw the back end of 90kgs!

Its like now, I have this psychological thing about weighing more than 70kgs. I usually bounce around the 68 to 69 level, but occasionally will see 70.2 or something. I dont need to lose weight but I really want to be on the other side of 65 (I would be REALLY skinny though) just so I have no chance of seeing a 70 pop up on my scale!

Unlike you though, I dont need to ask if I'm nuts. I know I am, lol.
