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:

Thanks!:biggrin1:

I had a twoterville moment today...I tried on and fit into 26/28 pants!! Real pants! Not stretchy ones...Okay - so they JUST fit and I'm not quite ready to wear them to work yet, but they were on sale for 11.99 and I knew when I do fit in them comfortably they won't be on sale or they won't have my size, so I bought them and put them away for a couple of weeks :welldoneclap: But I got them over my stomach and around my butt - so darn it! They FIT!!!

Congratulations Stephanie! I remember the moment when I first wore pants that zip up and had no elastic. It was just like 2 months ago. EVERYONE notices that kind of thing, whether they say so or not. It's a huge NSV. Congratulations!

I've only had one NSV since then (at least that makes the formal list), which is that I noticed one day not long after the pants moment that I was sitting with my legs crossed in my armchair. Now that's my favorite position! It'll be a long time before my legs stay crossed in an upright chair, but in my cushy armchair, I feel just great.

Be sure to post when you wear those pants to work for the first time. Don't wait more than 10 days or so to try them on again or when you do, they might be too big!

LapBandit, when did your plateau break? You were 3-4 days ahead of me in it starting and I'm ready for mine to break! I'm coming off my slow cycle tomorrow (my pattern seems to be 1 good week of losing and 1 week of practically nothing, alternating) and expect to see some movement soon, I hope....

In any event, YEA FOR YOU!

Well holiday family BBQ was today.

Between Steak, grilled marinated veggies, watermelon and yes I had a 3"sq brownie I came in under 1200 calories for the day Hopefully I will see the payoff in the scales tomorrow if not then the next couple of days.

And thanks for all the support :welldoneclap: I too am just about ready to wear my 28's out in public

Keep going gang your doing great!

Molly and Ericsmom-you guys rock! Isn't that awesome to try on clothes and have them fit. And yes, I say you officially get credit for fitting into a pair of pants even if they're too small. My motto is...if they physically fit onto my body and I can zip them without using tools then it counts!!

Julie...I finally broke free after all those yucky TOM hormones passed! Thanks for noticing! You'll be busting loose from your plateau any day now!

Thanks guys! I'm excited to actually wear them. Although they are pull-on elastic waists, they will still be great to wear. They just felt kind of awkward when I sat down in them in the dressing room, so I'll follow your advice and try them again in 10 days :eek:

Ericsmom,

I was just looking at your ticker. You lost 51 pounds since July? Wow, that's great!! Good for you.:clap2:

Yay LapBandit, your plateau has ended

Not much to say here till Monday when I weigh in, home with a sprained back today Was out working on the pond and well..... But school requires us to stand all day, no way I can handle that today. On the real bummer side I get to stay home and relax an extra day

Hey there peeps.

I'm sorry I've been away for about a week. I've been busy gaining three pounds

I found out on Friday I have skin cancer and this morning my husband lost his job! What a week!!! Calgon, take me away!!!

I need a fill!

Oh no Josette :omg:

What a triple whammy! You definitely need some calgon, keep us posted on how you are doing and take care.
