What is it about breaking a certain weight that makes us so happy? I was estatic when I broke 200 and hit 199.

This morning I weighed and hit 188.5 - broke the '190' barrier and I was thrilled. It was like I started at 231 and the first time I got really happy was the 199 - now I am happy every freaking 10 pounds!!

I'm NOT complaining about happy - don't get me wrong .

Is this happening to anyone else?

I don't wait for 10 pounds. Every pound I (think I) lose, I do a little dance . Of course, sometimes it comes back five minutes later, and I stomp my feet instead . I think my downstairs neighbor must really wonder what goes on up here.

i celebrate every pound lost!!!! lol! so i have really been celebrating!!!!!

Njcowgirl, just curious, are your weight stats a typo or for real? If they are for real, WOW.

I agree with you everytime I enter into the next set of 10's it feels so good and makes me want to celebrate

I celebrate every little pound too! Even when I am having a bad day in every other respect I can always think on the fact that I am being very proactive with my health.

I celebrate every pound but when I hit that next 10 pound mark like this morning I'm at 230 so I' know I'll be in the 220's this week, AH what a great feeling to see those bigger numbers left behind.

I'm still in shock that I've lost 50 pounds as of today.

I love it. It sets my mood for the day!

Just losing weight in general has made me a much happier person. I like the feeling that I am now in control of my body and that I treat it with respect! I like getting up in the morning and being happy about what I see in the mirror, as opposed to 4 months ago when I couldn't stand to look at myself. I like having a plan for eating that makes my body feel alive and healthy, instead of going through the drive through twice a week and stuffing myself with french fries.

At the beginning I focused on my goal weight but I find I don't do that as much any more, because I found that my happiness really lies not in any particular weight (although, yes, I would still like to lose more!), but in the wonderful feeling that I have regained control over my eating habits and my body.

agreed! I can't wait to get to 185...I think I'll stop weighing then...we'll see!

I am thrilled with every pound lost, but I think the 10 lb. marks are sooooo special. I cant wait to get into the 150's!

I was so happy to get under 300. Now I love every pound that melts away. When I hit my 10lbs marks I buy myself something new, off the clearance rack, in a size smaller. It helps motivate me to continue and get myself into that smaller size. This week's purchase was a nice dress shirt from Casual Corner Woman which I paid only $6.53 for. Those are the best buys.

I believe there are milestones that should be celebrated-We have even named themtwo-ter ville and one-der land..
Im still in denial I even went over 200lb. Can't discuss #'s anywhere but here-they are so out of the ballpark for co-workers or family.Still Progress is progress-be happy for all your successes.

I think I will probably jump for joy when the scale hits 199. Being a middle-aged, hypothyroid, diabetic woman, I lose slowly. And there's just something so cerebrally fantastic about being under 200 pounds. I think it's those doctor scales that have the little weights in the 50 pound implements. How grand to watch them move the 150 pound nugget over, instead of the 200 pound nugget.
