Hi Everyone,

I made it! I made it!!! I just cant believe it. Got on the ole scale this morning and blinked in utter amazement. The scale fluttered at 198.5 and settled on 199.0. I almost popped a gasket. Called my hubby in and got on and off the scale at least a half dozen times. Is it broken? My hubby gets on and says, NO, unfortunately for me, but great for you! I went from a BMI of 53.9 to 32.3 in 14 1/2 months and from a tight 28 to a 12/14 on top and 16 loose in the booty! I am really really happy. Thanks for all of your support! I look forward to meeting some of you folks in Vegas! Maybe I should drop another 4 or five lbs so I can party my butt off and not worry about the consequences! LOL

That's great Babs! You've done so well. You have really lost weight quickly. Seeing that needle dip below 200 is just the greatest, isn't it? Congratulations!

That's awesome!

Congrats!

I'll share your joy when I can finally get there (my goal is 190).

WHOO HOO!! So happy for you. I too hit a milestone while on vacation. I wanted to get below the 250 mark for my birthday. I did it too. Isn't it a GREAT feeling? I am sooooooooooooo happy for you. Keep up the great work. I am so excited for you.

Babs, I can feel your excitement! Yeah! Great job! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

Congratulations! You have worked hard to get here. And all the jumping for joy will probably take off another pound! Maybe we'll all lose a pound jumping for joy -- now that's a bandster party! :banana: :banana:

Yes Babs, Pat yourself on the back for that one! You did good. It is amazing how excited we get with our scales. I do the same thing. Stare at it in amazement and jump on and off again at least one or two more times consecutively. Anyway Congrats!!! Teresa

Thanks Gals!

I appreciate the support. I havent seen this number since my teen years and it is so very exciting. I been getting lots of love from my bandstser friends. Support is so important during this journey. I try to give others support when I can and it feels good to be able to share victories!!!

Coming a little late to this, here are my CONGRATULATIONS!! too!! What a great milestone, you must be thrilled!

I'm still dancing around the 250 milestone, which my vacation probably set back by three weeks. But no matter, I can take pleasure in other people's achievements and know my day will come. Good job!!!

I've been doing the happy dance for you, too - here's my "verbal" happy dance for you! Babs, you have done an amazing job!! Can I tell you how jealous I am? Onederland is SOOOO elusive!
