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:

rain,

me too ... i think the extension would be great...

did i mention i hate my weight right now?

I was so happy when I got back into the 2's... funny how my standards changed from when I was younger.

I started around 320 now i'm 292. My next goal is: 250. One day i'm hoping to be 165.

I'm all in favour of lengthening the challange.

I just had my second fill and im ticked off and not sure i should be. they use the floro. when i was being sat up in the chair after the needle was inserted I felt a pop. the girl got a discussed look on her face and said it popped out...the assisstant looked surprised. i said "hey that feels wierd what happend? I got completly ignored after that and she put me half way back down to adjust i guess, she held onto the needle, I was then sat back up and she did the fill. I felt it. not pain but. exactly like when i was pregnant 22 years ago and the baby kicked. I commented that this was totaly differant then the first time. she did not reply. All the way home I thought to myself, does this happen alot. could i get punctured inside? I have only had one fill and it was really great, just no restriction for more than a week. This lady did not ask how the past three weeks had been and if I hadn't asked she wouldnt even of told me what she had put in. Im disscussed and will request she not do my fill again. has this happen to others? wondering????

Hey everyone! I have been on LBT for a while and have not seen this thread. So glad I have. I started my weightloss journey at 358 on August 23rd, 2007. As of late last week, I hit 299lbs. Down 55lbs and very much loving my band. I have gotta admit that the holidays have not been easy to get through with all the off plan eating. The number nights eating out and parties, I just can't wait until it is over.

I go for my first fill on 1/3/08 since my banding on 11/6/07. I am so ready for one. I hope to be down another 3lbs by then but I am not holding my breath with 3 more parties over the next 3 days and then New Year's Eve. I think that I will do Protein shakes and small protein Snacks for Breakfast and lunch and save my calories for my parties. One good thing I haven't gained any weight at all...just staying the same and would love to keep it that way.

Congratulations to all of you and great weightloss. I have loved reading your posts.

Good news! Extra, Extra!! Read all about it...

LMBA has a surgery date, and it will be on Feb. 11th at 10 am. I am to check in the hospital at 7:30 am. I can't wait now, it's right around the corner. I have been waiting so long for even a set date, I don't know how to act even.

Butterflies...

Congrats LMBA aka Irene. You've given yourself such an awesome head start too. You're going to lose so much this year, you won't believe it.

Working my way to Twoterville. Still a ways to go but I have upped the exercise and lowered the calorie intake over the past 2 weeks. I'll miss my goal of 100 lost by Xmas, but its been fun trying. Hope everyone is surviving the holiday season....Dave

Hey guys! i made it to TWOderville!!!!

i started at 360 and now im 284....good luck on your journey to twoderland!

Congrats to those who have made it to Twoterville!

I had once, but couldn't seem to get below 296!

Now I'm back at 304.1 :smile: :clap:

I was at 308, so I'm glad to be back at 304...

I gotta do SOMETHING!

Wow all. I haven't been here in a while. I am down 58 lbs since April 07, does that qualify me as a slow loser??? You tell me, I am listening. I have been journaling which was my New Years Resolution. That hasn't helped much. My son has surgery today on his fibia. He had to have a steel rod put in because he isn't healing from a football injury. He is a Sr. in High School and the whole mess has been stressful. Did I mention I like to eat when I am stressed and this has been going on since October 12th? Well, c'est la vie. I have to get back at it. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Hi everyone. I too am on my way to twoderville. Just 10 lbs to go. I am hoping to be there this time next month. Love reading about everyones journeys.

I am scheduled for a MRI of my lumbar spine. I have since emailed lap-band.com and found that my band has some medical grade metal. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Will I not be albe to have the MRI. I haven't taked it over with my doc yet, just thought someone might have some insight.

thanks,

beth

btw, my ticker hasn't been updated. I am now 180 lbs. only 20 lbs. from my goal!!!!
