Well it seems there are several of us who are currently trying to get to twoterville. So if you are one of us trying for it please tell us your goals and we can support each other as we try to get our tricksy scales to be nice and cooperative.

NOTE: So many of the people who participate in this thread have made it in to twoterville that we have really morphed to include passing thru twoterville as well as into it. This has happened over time, we keep growing, lol, but in a good way :eek:

I just have to share my joy to some fellow bandsters, I've lost 50 punds now and am at 309 ! I'm almost out of the 300's !! Can't wait !!

Hey all! I just found this thread... talk about showing up to the party late, ha ha Anyway, I think it's great that there's a place for all of us trying to break the 300s. I'm sure onederland will be great when it's time, but right now I've got my eyes set on a nice little place on twoterville's beach!!! I've got 30 lbs to go, so it's time to get packing and buckle down. Good luck to all my fellow bandsters!

Awesome. Alot of us were above 300 just a month or two ago and now have our beach front property in Twoterville.

Charsweb...WAY TO GO!!!! Congratulations to you!

It'sjustducky...Welcome...I was in the threes just two months ago...you'll be here sooner than you think...oh, and the water is fine in twoterville.

Losingjusme...Sorry about your sweet Ambyr...She was beautiful!

As for me...Finally a breakthrough. I had my first fill last week and the scale hasn't changed as much as I thought it would...so, I was shocked to see the scale move this morning....Thank goodness!!!

I wish these 6lbs would come off....I want to successfully meet a goal...Either way, I'm proud of myself...but I'd be more proud if I didn't have these 6 lbs on me!!!

Hmmmm...maybe exercise??? It's so hard and frustrating with my three kids with me every day all day....

Rain

Rain,

can you put the real young ones in the stroller and take a nice walk?

i walked w/ my dog last night after work and burned about 300 cals in 40 mins. it was good and got us out of the house. i think i may do it tonight with my other one - although he is quite high strung

Ok everyone. I'm back! I had been staying away for a while because I was having marriage problems and wasn't losing much and the anniversary of my mom dying I just wasn't in the mood. But I got a fill and I'm losing again and now I'm back and I have FINALLY reached TWOTERVILLE!!! I can't believe it!!!

I started at 393 in August 2006 and now I'm 297!!! YAY!!!!!!

I felt like I would NEVER get here!!! You've all been so inspiring!

Glad to see you back Josette!! I'm new here, but I have read many a thread and have seen your posts. You have been an inspiration to me, and I am glad you decided to post again.

Josette,

you look great! sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time.

awwww thank you so much Ladies!!!

LilMissBandAid... are you getting your band soon? Are you excited?

Josette: I just dealt with my mother's 10 year death anniversary...so I know your pain and feel it strongly...It's been 6 days and I still can't shake my mood...

Lusinjusme:...unfortunately it is raining here...We normally walk every day, but not when it's raining, although....I do have a rain guard for the jogger...hmmmm...

5 to go...maybe I can do this????

awwww thank you so much Ladies!!!

Augh!

I wish I had an answer, but as yet I still do not. I have done everything now up to getting in the OR, but no date. My insurance cannot proceed until they get all the necessary information from my PCP, and they are taking what seems like forever. My case manager at my insurance group promised to push me through as soon as she gets it though, because we spoke for a good long while and she knows I've pretty much carried myself with getting everything done. She's awesome!

Believe me though, I am so ready! The second I find out, everyone here will be (one of) the first to hear from me. :biggrin1: Besides, I almost feel like I'm losing all my weight on my own, so my mind is already set.
