I did it! I was actually at 188.8 this morning, but took the photo after breakfast and a bottle of water. I am so excited. I don't think I have been this light since I started high school 14 years ago.

I started riding in late June and completely changed my eating habits. I think I traded the food addiction for a cycling and weight loss addiction. Since June, I have lost 85 pounds. I have about 15 more to go, but this is major milestone and I am stoked.

It would not have been possible without the people in this forum who offered so much support and encouragement! I'm thinking about a tattoo that says, "Clyde for life". Thanks to all of you!

what did you have for breakfast that made you gain 10.8 pounds? daaannnggg.
Anywhoo, bravo on the weight loss! I understand how you feel when you finally are below 200 pounds. I just recently am in the same situation. Now to get to 180 pounds!

That's great. Congratulations!! I am jealous.

<get lost skinny>

Was using these as water bottles with meals your secret?

Dagnabit! DISLEXIA STRIKES AGAIN.

Fixed it!

I will cherish the certificate forever! ;) I might put it next to my college diploma! Thank you everyone!

That's great to hear, thanks for posting.

Congrats!

Great job!!!!

Awesome!!

Thanks everyone! I celebrated by eating a whole cake. Yeah right! I actually celebrated by riding more!

Great job!

BUT

200 is just a number...I used to think I would be great at 230....I am 190 and just let the needle fall where it falls now...don't let the number dictate you.

Great job though!

I celebrated my most recent century by eating a whole pizza; it was awful good. :innocent:

Well done, plenty of encouragement for the rest of us;)

Sweet! I was so happy too once I cracked the 200lbs mark.

Congratulations! Good work! Yea! Rah Rah!
You are one of my inspirations - really.

I'm 7 lbs away from the 200 point. I haven't been there since probably freshman year (12 yrs ago). Lost 50 so far. I'm right there with ya man! I can't wait. 170 here I come.

Man what an awsome achievement!! Congratulations! I wish I had the will power to do what you have done but I keep falling off the wagon. Then I eat the wagon!!! Anyway, great job!!!!!!

You guys have inspired me - I am six weeks into my weight loss journey - down 15 to 245 now (I'm 6'1) with a goal of being 210 (that's been 20 years) by the end of the year. Though I still have a "linebacker" frame - you've got me thinking that maybe even I can get under 200 - which was last seen in high school....Imagine how much faster I will be.

Great job guys!!

Congrats, and thanks for further inspiring me to do the same!
