Congratulations!!!! Your post gave me goosebumps :) I am looking forward to being under 200, too, which will be the first time in more than five years.

I am scheduled for surgery on 2/22 and am getting very nervous. Reading posts like yours reminds me why I'm doing this and gives me such inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your accomplishment. It is one of my goals too - 17 more pounds to the half way mark and then another 10 to be in Onederland. I haven't seen the under side of 200 in about 23 years.

Keep rocking it and keep enjoying and loving life.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Jessica, and a big whooping congratulations!

I'm looking forward to first getting below 300 pounds. I can't remember when my weight was in the 200s.

Being below 200 pounds seems almost unattainable, but thanks to all of those who have shared their stories here, I know that someday it will also happen for me!

Thank you, Everyone!
