Road to "TWOterville"



Recommended Posts

I work 12 hour night shifts so I try and weigh in on the morning after a night off to get an accurate picture of how I'm doing. I found a "new" item in the produce section of the grocery store that I love... a 3 pack of 3 individual portions of carrots and dip. It's a total of 70 calories and really feels the void when you need a snack.< /span>

I've been having login problems so I'd better post now that I'm able to log in.

I'm getting frusterated...this fill didn't give me any restriction at all. I'm going to wait until after my brother's wedding on June 8th and get another. I think I'm stress eating.

We just sold our house and are moving in a month so I'm freaking about all that I have to do. Plus we're dealing with some family issues. My mother says I can't complain because even with all of that going on, I'm not gaining. I'm still losing a pound here and there.

But I'm greedy....I want more! More! MORE!!! LOL!!!

Elisabeth, that sounds like a good snack but I can't eat raw carrots, darnit!

I can relate to the stress and the lousy fill. My last one did nothing so I'm forcing myself to count ccalories and make healthy choices. I'm also on a deadline to have the first 3 chapters of my PhD dissertation done by 6/15 and I'm waaaaaaaaaay behind.

It's funny the things we can and can't eat. Salads and carrots go down fine. Pasta is a no-no... no matter what kind. I can't keep it down. Hang in there! Better days are coming.

Congratulations on an amazing weight loss week, Tann. Losingjustme, don't feel bad. I can go up 5 pounds when my period is due as I retain a lot of Water. Stick to your plan and you'll see a loss on your next weigh-in. You're doing wonderfully... chin up!

Tann, congrats on your excellent week! JusME...we've all been there sister...do not give up. I give you props for staying true and public. There've been so many times where I didn't want to admit the gain but if I can't tell my support group...who can I admit it to? My body's been stuck for the longest time. Just had a fill yesterday so I'm hopeful for some movement. That and the continued exercise should help. Long haul...just remember long haul and don't forget to Celebrate all that you've lost so far!!

Ladies, (and gentlemen if you're out there) I have an additional challenge... the name game. I feel kind of strange calling you by screen names when I rely on ya'll so much from week to week. Wondered if you'd be up for exchanging real names. Mine's already out there and I'll say it again...Carol... Just thought it might make our journey's a little more personal??

Carol and Elisabeth (and everyone really),

thanks so much for your support, i truly appreciate it.

seeing everyone's stats gives me the extra little push that i need to (hopefully) drop the next set of pounds. the only problem - my legs are so sore and tight from that stupid elliptical that it literally hurts to walk ... :faint:

my first name is Christine, btw. :) although i am HORRIBLE at remembering names. numbers no problem, names have always been an issue for me.

OK It's time for me to update. After being too tight and getting my unfill and dealing with gall stones I gained back to 282lbs! I still need more restriction but won't get it until next Wednesday. I am back down to 277 but I have a long way to go to get back down to 269 :( but I'll get there. Let me just say that it is extremely hard to control your eating when unfilled, all the old habits come racing back. This next fill will take me back to where I really feel was my sweet spot. I think it's safe to say I won't make my goal for this challenge but I am going to try my hardest to get as close as possible!

I won't be able to weigh in until tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm still at my plateau or perhaps I've gained. :(

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
