Weight-Loss Racing to Onederland

Weight-Loss
I posted this in my journal, but thought it would work here, too...


I remember vividly the day I stepped on the scale and it read 201. I thought.... "well, that's it, point of no return". I honestly didn't think I'd see the 100s again. And with each pound I piled on (eventually totaling 220) I became even more convinced that I was destined to spend the rest of my life a 'big' girl.

But today I broke 200! That's right, eff you 200s... I hope to never see you again. Up till now I've been dieting & exercising hoping for good results, but not really believing I could pull it off in the long run. Breaking that 200 barrier (and yes, I realize I still have a loooong way to go) allows me, for the first time, to believe I can actually do this.

To add to my motivation I'm going shopping this weekend... I'll buy one outfit that fits me now, and one that's the next size down for inspiration. And as soon as I'm home the first thing I'll do is pull all the tags off the 'motivation' outfit and throw away the receipt... because I WILL get there. It's no longer a question of 'if', it's just a matter of 'when'...

Today is a good day.

I'm here to say if I can do this, anyone can. You'll break that 200 barrier before you know it and we can all start a 'racing to the 180s' thread together!

EXCELLENT - WOOHOO!!! Im so happy for you :D:D:D!!!
 
That is fantastic a new me, very well done! :D

I am afraid to even say anything right now about trying to break this thing. I thought I did some weeks back but it turns out my scale was off, way off. Then I got down to 201 according to my other, good scale and now, well just look at my ticker. It was sooooo frustrating to hit a platue for six weeks so I took a break for a couple of weeks and as of this week, I have been back on. I changed my eating a bit and and changed up my excersise a bit.

I sure hope this works. We'll see what happens on Sunday when I weigh in.
 
:jump: Doing the happy dance for a_new_me. great job.
I got on my scales on Thursday the 12th and took a peek. Was 199. I didn't get to weigh today..I was at my grandmothers and our scales are nowhere near the same. I woke up to TOM this am...grrrrrrrrr. Going to weigh on my scales in the am...crossing fingers to still be under 200 but with TOM not sure.Weighed on my scales today.(Monday) 200.2

I am hoping to join, if it isn't too late. I have a way to go, but I like the idea of having a group of people supporting me, who are working toward the same objective.
Best wishes everyone
