Onderland, here he comes!!! 

Wow beutiful weightloss so far 

Thanks, @Kathy and @Hannelie! :D I was giddy when I saw that this morning. With any luck that onderland happy dance will be next week. :D 

Excellent. you are just about there. God, what I would give to say the same. I am about to message you to pick your brain. 

Really doing great! Keep up the wonderful work. 

Awesome. Three or four days should see your goal. Are you going to go a little lower to deal with the glycogen/water gains you're bound to see when you go on maintenance? 

Whoop whoop! Way to go, rob!! 

Hey, @LoverGirl, THANK YOU! And any time -- anyone is always free to PM me. :D 

Thank you @LadyBea, and @Kiki!!! :D 

Hah, @Bill! Thank you. I just saw my aunt today, and her eyes bugged out. She warned me over and over again not to get "too thin". LOL! At only 5'10" and 200+ lbs, I don't think that's quite a concern right now. Hah! :D Thanks again. Your support is always so helpful and inspirational. 

Thanks, @NM! I'm hoping just a few days, too. But weekends are usually a slowdown in weight-loss for me. But I'm hoping I get there by the middle of next week-ish. We'll see. Actually, I'm not yet at my final goal, even at 200. That's just my mini-goal. My ultimate goal is 180, but may get an adjustment when I get there. If I decide to stay there, you're right, I'll go a bit lower to accomodate the shift to maint eating. THANKS, @NM! I'm still looking forward to your maint tips when I get there... but that probably won't be till around July. :D 

omg, I'm glad to see history in the making! When anybody hits their goal weight it is like I am part of it. Just can't wait to see your next weigh in, Rob! 

Thank you so much, @Deb!!! I wish it was my final goal... but after I reach it, I've got at least another 20 more lbs to go. But, even still, it will feel INCREDIBLE!!! My old scale showed 199.6 this AM, and while it isn't official, I got hugely emotional about even just that. It's hard to explain to folks, but I literally *NEVER* thought I'd be here now. 9 months ago, the best hope in my wildest dreams was to get to 225. A year ago, my best hope was to live a few more years to see my daughter a bit longer. I can never explain in words what this means, and all the support of the folks on here that have helped to make it happen. You are ALL JUST SO AMAZING! 

Grr... Where's your new weigh in. :| Hiding? 

Lol lol. Nah. I'm out of town again. The kid has another volleyball tourney. No access to the scale here. Hah! Hafta wait.  

Hey bud! You're there. Just think how far you've come. This is truly amazing. You are doing fantastic! WOW. Give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate by doing something special for yourself such as going for a walk or spending time with your kid. It's so much fun watching them grow up.
