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:

A month ago yesterday I was 329.

Today I got on the scale and for the first time in three years it said something beside 3 _ _.

My scale read 297.6- I hadn't weighed myself in a while bc its a good way to depress me and if I get depressed I eat, so almost two weeks ago when I looked at the scale it had gone up from 306 to 308.

So I excercised some, but mostly I have been concentrating on stopping when I am full. Thats really hard for me.

I go for my first fill April 17th...but if this continues I think I might just say "no thanks"

That is fantastic Ready!! Welcome to TWO-terville! :thumbup::scared2::thumbup::w00t:

We've been expecting you!!! But, as for the rest of us, let's not stay too long, it's on to ONE-derland...

:thumbup:Holy Moley Ready Steady. That is an atronomical amount of weight to shed it such a short time. Your body must have been more than ready to get rid of it for good.

You must be over the moon and we are just as happy for you.:smile::lol:

Even though I sprained my ankle early in the month with all the snow and ice, finally this week I was able to do a bit of treadmill! Can't wait to see the TWOs! Can't wait to get banded.

:w00t::tt1::crying::tt1::thumbup::wub::tt2::wink::tt1::huh2:... and every other smilie that I would have to find somewhere else to get!

Thanks LilMissBand-Aid

Congratulations on your success as well !! :thumbup:

So, shall we start a new challenge for this month, April 2008? I will go ahead and post first. I am going to go very conservative this month. I have a feeling I am going to need to stop taking my HCTZ, and that is going to play some tricks on the scale.

Good luck everyone!

I haven't really done this yet. is the starting the first of the week or the month? And the loss? Sorry I tried to figure it out but I dont want to put the wrong thing.

Help? :wink_smile:

Hi Ready, you just copy the very last posting of the weight losses and put your personal info on the next line. Your starting weight will be your weight as of right now, or the last time you weighed yourself. And will always stay the same every time you check in. Some people post their tracking once a week and some do it more or less. It is up to you.

Let me know if you need more info. Good luck!

Not So BIG FRED

Yabba Dabba Doooooooooooooooooooo! You legend!

WELCOME TO TWOTERVILLE. You entered in such as grand fashion at 295.

:eek::smile:

:smile2::thumbup:

On another note. I might pike out on this month due to band issues (fills, unfills, liquids, mushies, chocolate and the like). I will keep a close eye on everybody's progress however. 3 people got there this month, I have my fingers crossed for the rest.

Ok all you twosters or on your way to twostervilles, I need some help. I was banded on 8/24/07 and I've lost about 39 lbs. Not even sure about that. I started at 304 and am now about 265 but havent' weighed since February when I had my last fill. I have an appointment for next week for another fill. I have the large 10cc band and have 7cc's right now. I have almost enough restriction but I'm still doing the wrong things. I've been eating pretty much whatever I want unless it makes me sick and I started drinking beer again. I have no excuse and I know I'm messing up. I'm so sick of being fat. All of my friends say wow, you can really tell you've lost weight, but it has stalled so I'm sure what they're really saying is I knew it wouldn't work. I'm just disgusted by the whole thing. Maybe this isn't the right place to post this, but I want to hit that 200 mark really bad and you all are close or are already there. I just needed to vent this somewhere and landed on you guys. Congratulations on your progress. I just feel so different from all of you...I don't know why.

Elaine

I'm getting soooo close. Can't wait to see the 200's! My insurance packet was sent off this week, so hope to banded soon. I so want to be under 300 before surgery. Some sort of mental thing you know.

((((((Elaine U))))))

I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles right now. I don't really know what I can say to get you back on track, except that you just have to climb back up on the wagon. Here's my hand, I'll help you up!

Think of it this way, you couldn't have gained back too much, if any. That is what is so great about the band. You have to really try hard to gain that weight back. But you can, please remember that. You have come so far and have gone through so much to get where you are now, don't let that negativity back into your world. It will not end up good for you.

If you would like to talk one on one, PM me and we can talk.

Please remember to take care of yourself, you only have one life to live, so live it happy and healthy!! YOU DESERVE IT!!
