Default Out of the twos!

It seemed my stall broke this week so I started weighing myself again everyday and this morning I am 199.5!!!! I am so excited! This was my first mini-goal and I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I know it's not much different than I weighed yesterday, but it just feels so great to be under 200 lbs.

Thank you everyone! I'm just so happy. I wanted to tell everyone I've run into today, but knew it wouldn't be quite appropriate. I'm really trying hard not to talk a lot about my weight loss in real life as I know it can kind of get annoying. So thank you all for your support and encouragement!

DeeDee,

YIPEEE. I am so happy for you. Can't wait until I follow in your footsteps. Will be sleeved soon... I have not been under 200 since 1990! It is so amazing to see the progress made after being sleeved...almost a miracle when you consider how fast it happens.

Keep on keeping on!

The ONE's is a great place to be. Just think of the next time you go to the doctor and they are schooching the thing over on the scale - they will stop before the TWO. Hooray!

Congratulations Dee Dee - my August 4th Sleeve buddy. Keep up the good work.

Onederland is AWESOME! I found myself there this morning - 198 (how do we not lose anything for several days/weeks and then lose 3 lbs overnight? Whatever, I will take the loss any way I can.

Thanks Vegas. I keep stalling then losing. I think my 15 hour days at work this week (on my feet, running around with my head cut off) seemed to be the "magic" trick to finally break out of the low 200's.

Someone on the board mentioned a scale gremlin who stuck his foot on the scale to keep you right above 200. I finally squashed that little stinker this morning.

Yay Linda! I cannot believe how time is flying away from that August 4th date after it seemed like it would never get here. Wow on your 15 hour work days...I guess you can look at them as sort of a blessing in disguise since it helped break your stall:-) I'm just beginning another one I think, so I'll be trying (we'll see) to stay off of the scale for a couple of days.

Vegas--good luck! The neat thing is you know it's going to happen.
