I just couldn't stay away from the scale! I only went 3 days without weighing in before I caved!!! :thumbup:

However, I'm glad I caved in because I was beginning to rationalize fast food feeding frenzies! Now that I've seen the drop on my scale achieved by being good I can toss those massive cheeseburger dreams aside! :w00t:

I forgot when weigh in day is, shame on me it's been so long. Anyway, I'll put this one down even though I think it'll creep back up some. Had a gastro thing that I caught from my granddaughter for 2 1/2 days and have barely eaten so yeah, I'm going to lose some weight...lol The truer picture will be next week. :tea:

Poor Staindgal. My hubby is down with the flu. They put us both on tamiflu. I sprained my left ankle taking him to the Dr. We had 12 inches of snow over the weekend. I was very bummed about the ankle, because in December I tore my gastroc muscle in my right calf. So it really is a hindrance to exercise. This too shall pass right? Anyway, I did manage a bit of a loss...In view of the injury going to revise my goal for this month.

I can't believe I'm even getting close to "TWOterville". When I started this journey just about a year ago (3/24/07) I weighed 374 lbs.

Weighed myself yesterday and I'm down to 304lbs, that's 70 lbs gone!

I had my surgery on 10-25-07, it really is a life altering experience. Of course it has it's up's and down's - but I can honestly say that it has been more positives than negatives.

Looking forard to seeing numbers in the "TWO" zone. Everyone keep up the great work.

03-24-07 - 374lbs - Started Journey

10-25-07 - 349lbs - Surgery Date

12-05-07 - 325lbs - First Fill - 3cc's in a 10cc band

01-16-08 - 319lbs - Second Fill - 2 additional CC's

02-28-08 - 311lbs - Third Fill - 1 additional cc

03-11-08 - 304lbs - Isn't it great

Just getting over my girlie time. I won't weigh myself for another few days. Man! Why can't I just seem to control myself during that time? Love those salty things... and no first fill until April 11th. That really is awful, I feel like I can still eat too much. I know it's much less than before, but then again, I get hungry quick too. Someone help me!!

Glad to see everyone else doing so well! I will hopefully get some good restriction with my first fill. It's less than a month away.

We're halfway through this month, so I thought I would check in. Did I set the bar too high for myself this month? Who's to say, but I darn well am going to try my hardest to get to see 259 by the beginning of next month!

I'm not weighing until the end of the month (so I don't torture myself) but I can tell it's been going well. I hope you are all kicking but. I'm so excited for those about to hit TWOterville. Now, pardon my ignorance, I get 'ONEderland' but what is TWOterville? Does it have another meaning?

Hi insubordination,

Onederland refers to a three digit weight beginning with the number 1 (i.e. 167) and twoterville is the same, a three digit weight beginning with the number 2 (i.e. 243).

I hope it helps.

Cheers,

Mary

No, I think it was just made up - it sounds good though.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
