Please rejoice with me! For the first time in 26 years I weigh less than 200 pounds. It’s been 2 years of changing my habits, but I’m down 65 pounds. I plan on another 2 years to drop the remaining 40 or so I want to lose. But YEEEEEEEE HA! Six sizes in 2 years–how cool is that?
Yaaaaay! Yay for you! And you did it the long way, which is good, I think. That takes a lot of dedication and a lot of stick-to-it-iveness.
I need to lose weight too, and it’s such a drag to maintain those little changes sometimes.
Go buy yourself something you like…something pretty and fun to wear. 
Awesome!
I really made only three big changes - absolutely no deep fried foods, only one dessert a month, and don’t go back for seconds. Combined this with eat when hungry, stop when full, and “move the body” for at least half an hour three times a week. It’s been slow, slow slow, but steady, steady, steady.
I’ve got a beautiful set of white jade jewelry that’s been on hold for the “under 200” celebration. I’m waiting until I go a full week without going over. We all know how weights fluctuate…
Well done!
Congrats! Here’s to a healthier future!
That’s very fancy - keep it up! I’m trying to get back on the “let’s have better health here, Snicks” bandwagon, so I’m going to think of you for motivation. Which means that you now have to keep on keepin’ on, because I’m depending on you.
Congrats.
Congrats and thanks for sharing your success to inspire the rest of us.
That’s *very *cool. Congratulations.
I will both say congratulations *and *say me too. I dropped below 200 for the first time in over 25 years this past summer. I am very close to wearing the same size pants as I did in highschool.
Huzzah! I remember when I dropped below 200. It’s a great feeling and you’ve earned it!
You can wear those pants to he 30 year reunion!
as_u_wish, you rock like plutonic granite. Very, very few people have accomplished what you have.
Good on you!
Congratulations. Keep doing what you have been doing and you will keep right on losing!
Hooray!! I have lost 45 pounds, I know how you feel.
Hooray to you too Khadaji!!
Losing weight is hard. You are awesome and an inspiration! Congratulations and here’s wishing you continued success.
That’s wonderful.
The two years of changing your habits means that the weight loss will stick. You’ve changed your life for the better. Congrats.
Congrats!! I hope to join you by the end of the year. I was 205 this morning and that’s the lowest I have been since I was in HS. I did once get down to 206 about 45 years ago. Ten years ago, I was up to 281.
I’m also below 200 for the first time since 1994. I’ve got about 40 to go, but I know I can do it.
Congrats, everyone!!!
Well done!
