and I have finally found the numbers on the scale to be below 200! I was in tears this morning when I got on and it read 198.8. I feel like I have won the lottery, yet I dont think any amount of money could make me feel any better than this very moment. To know that I will never again weigh over 200 pounds gives me such a piece of mind and lighter load on my shoulders.

We are awesome, we struggle every day to beat the demons we carry and this tool is helping us every step of the way. I dont care if people say it was the easy way, for me to live a longer, happier and healthier life it was the only way!

You are inspiring to me! I got stuck after losing 140 lbs and I got so 'satisfied' in my head with how I was looking and kept wanting and wanting to get below the 200 lb mark and I keep bouncing up and down and then slipped back over the holidays with gaining from some sloppy eating habits. I decided to recommit to my old 2008 self when losing weight was foremost in my mind every hour of every day as I got ready to have my lapband surgery in March and for those exciting months after when I was losing weight so fast. I joined a WW class at work that starts January 13 and it goes for a 10 week session and I'm going to fight like heck to get my 199 or less lbs mark. Keep me in prayers for this all important life milestone.

Soooo happy for you! I'm waiting to see those numbers too. I'm so close I can taste it. I weighed 202 this morning. I can't wait to feel what Onederland feels like. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations!!!!!!!! That is such an amazing accomplishment! I cant wait to join you there. I was pretty close 2 months ago and since have gained 12 lbs. I am very disapointed in myself but am dedicated to getting there now. I can and WILL do this. You are an inspiration!
