Get some rest, the next day or 2 will be rough but so worth it. Good luck.

Dont worry, the scale will start dropping so rapidly you will not be able to slow it down, Your body is in starvation mode holding on as long as it can to the weight, at some point it will drop dramaticly. Your body has no choice when you are taking in so little calories it can only take from your fat and muscle what it needs.

You look great, thanks for sharing.

So do I, I would kill to be able to drink a Warsteiner Dunkel right now, I had some left and my wife used it for fish beer batter a couple months ago, brought a tear to my eye wasting a good beer for what I would use a old skanky miller light for. I have started making some different cocktails, I will be making a Old Fashioned tonight.

Congratulations on your milestone. when I hit 199 I called my wife in to look at the scale.

The inner voice never goes away, I am 10 days out and have lost 19lbs, the outer voices of friends and coworkers saying they did not recognize me squashes that inner voice bigtime. Just think of the money you will save not eating junk, I went out with my wife the other day to a steak restaurant and ordered the french onion soup no bread,no cheese and strained, $4 for lunch as opposed to my normal $20 plus.

Good luck to everyone, I am scheduled for 7am tomorrow. Hope I can get some sleep, and they dont make me wait long since I am also a Hospital employee.

I am 6 days out , I am very nervous as well, I was scheduled for yesterday but life got in the way and I pushed it off till the 11th, I am not afraid for my hair because it has slowly been leaving me for a couple years, I would rather be skinny and bald than heavy and bald. I understand how this would be way more of an issue for women. I am mostly afraid of not waking up. All of your issues are valid, I wish you the best.
