QuothTheDragon Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's taken two years of work with a lot of hiccups along the ways, but I've done it! I'm finally under 200 lbs! I weighed in at 199.6 lbs this morning and I couldn't be prouder of myself I let out a happy squeal. I cried a bit. I made myself late to work. I'm still tearing up thinking about it. It's crazy to think how much mental baggage I had tied up over being 200+ lbs. I feel so much lighter now. I've lost 38.4 lbs. I'm 'tied' with past-me from 2009 for lowest weight, which is also my lowest ever weight. Every pound lost from here on out marks a new lowest weight. I have under 50 lbs left to get to my goal weight. It feels so damn good. And now the ball is rolling. I have a few more milestones coming up along my journey that I'll be sharing too 194 lbs marks the halfway point to my goal188 lbs marks the point at which I transition from an obese BMI to and overweight BMI156 lbs marks the point at which I transition from an overweight BMI to a normal BMI (and I can't believe this even feels in reach right now) There will be more along the way Like when my waist gets under 40 inches. Or when I'm wearing a single digit size. Or when I start wearing Mediums. I feel so good about the future right now And I've earned my first tattoo! 4 Quote Wandering Monk Starting Weight: 238 Current Weight: 189.2 Goal Weight: 150 PRs Mile: 12:49 (11/1/14) 5K: 44:07 (3/13/16) Link to comment

QuothTheDragon Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yay, this is so exciting!!! Congratulations! Thank you!! I had a bit of a stupid grin on my face all day yesterday. I'm ~1.5 lbs away from the 40 lbs lost mark and I'm considering doing a before and after and putting it on facebook. I haven't been overly public about what I'm doing and it would be nice to share my victory with everyone on there Congratulations! I'm so excited for you for (1) reaching this awesome milestone, (2) following through with your goals and solid habits for two years, and (3) getting your new tattoo soon! Thank you!! I pretty proud of the not regressing for two whole years thing too. Sure I could have lost more weight, but I struggle with consistency, so at least I've done something right with that haha. I'll definitely be posting pics of the tattoo once I get it. I just have to see a dermatologist first to get my (numerous) freckles checked out before I cover them up XD 2 Quote Wandering Monk Starting Weight: 238 Current Weight: 189.2 Goal Weight: 150 PRs Mile: 12:49 (11/1/14) 5K: 44:07 (3/13/16) Link to comment
