Huge drum roll please :)
As some of you know I've been with the group for a little more than two years here, as of August which was our anniversary (Us meaning Richie and myself)
This year has been a very very slow year for weight loss for me..
I am only 5'2" and for a while now, just about three years, I have had to tell myself and others that I weigh over 200 lbs....
As much as I am proud that I have lost weight, that has nagged at me in a big way.. I'm not that focused on the scale too much, but secretly, I've been waiting a very very long time to be able to say I am now *not* 200 lbs..
Today's that day!
I went to weigh myself because I've been very good and feeling slightly hungry these days.. And Richie said I looked thinner in the face..
Plus I wanted to take stock of where I was today since I was curious to see how Urban Ranger would affect me once I started doing it regularly..
I stepped on the scale and,,,,,,,
I now weigh 199 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was almost a totally surreal experience being able to move the large weight from the 200 spot and then use the one in the 150-199 range, and I have to say, I really had a moment there and started to just tear up inside!!!
Felt like posting this here not on my thread, because I just felt like it's a big deal!!!
The fact that even though it took a long time to happen and it was frustratingly slow, only adds to the joy I'm feeling now that I didn't give up and finally got there!!
Thanks to all who have been so supportive to me here over these years!
Especially, as usual, Reinhard!
Have a great day all!
Peace and Love,
Deb

DEB THAT IS AWESOME AND FANTASTIC!!! WAY TO GO!!! I admire you so much for sticking to No-S and the slow and permanent path, it's not easy. You have brought so much inspiration and support to me and many others on this board. What a great feeling to achieve a goal you've had for so long. I'm so happy for you. You really have proven that No-S works and is for life.
ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY!!!

Oh Deb!!!!!!!!!! I am incredibly happy for you
I know I haven't been around the board much (because I can't seem to stay on track) but I still check in. You are an inspiration because it's so admirable how you stick with things. When I feel a little bit of hunger I run the other way.
I can only imagine how amazing it must feel to reach a milestone like that.
Good job you

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Deb!
As we say in Australia - "You Beauty!"
You love all the Eastern philosophy stuff, so I think there is a Buddhist saying "If you are facing in the right direction all you have to do is keep walking."
Since you will stick with No-S, you will never have to worry about 200 pounds again! Isn't that great?!?!?!?

Thank you very much Reinhard!!!
And you *know* I'm *NOT* stepping on that scale again for another few weeks or maybe a month.. Heh...
No turning back! Last night every once in a while I kept saying to Richard, out of the blue, "199" LOL... To which he would then give me a victory cheer! A great feeling!!!
Have a great weekend!
Peace and Love,
Deb

Congratulations Deb!!! Wow what an achievement! And you are right. It was made the sweeter by having to stay with it through a long plateau. You have just stepped out into the sunshine girl!! Bask in the warm of your glow. I am so happy for you.

I haven't been under 200 lb since I was sixteen (I'm 25, closer to 26 now).
But I remember that bump! How awesome for you!!!
I'll be joining you!! (Though I won't add "shortly" to that sentence!!)
