Woo hoo! Congratulations! That is an amazing milestone and you are doing so well in your weight loss! You'll never be over 200 again, right?
I'm also 5'8" and I agree with the person who said they felt a little taller as they got thinner. It's a combination of a lot of things, I think -- more confidence, I think my shoulders are standing out more (people keep commenting on my shoulders anyway), being able to wear heels sometimes without pain, being able to stand closer to things too, I think. Not having all that weight on my back makes my posture better, too.
Anyway, again, CONGRATS!!!
