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:

Yay Christmas challenge people :confused: I had so much fun making my choo choo ticker. Santa's train I want to share a goal sheet for you to make at home as a motivation tool, if you would like to. It would look something like this....

Goal: to lose 24lbs by Christmas

step1: drink lots of Water

step 2: eat three small meals each day and one planned snack

step3: eat my protien first

step 4: don't drink with my meals

step 5: go for a walk each day

current situation: 299lbs

You can have more or fewer steps depending on your needs and what your weight loss struggles are. You can do weekly goal sheets where the goal is to excersise for 30 minutes each day and the steps to help you achieve that goal. This is a tool I learned a recently and when used can be very effective.

Woo Hoo!! Got on the scale this morning and I'm down another 3.3 pounds!! Yay me!!! I need to make a Christmas challenge ticker...good idea!!

Libra,

Sorry, have not been on for a few days(busy working, doing the mom thang) but I'm in for the Christmas Challenge. I can lose 23lbs by Christmas. I'm gonna get the hell outta these 3's and retire my already falling off black size 32W jeans I got for Christmas last year. Its gonna be a fight (I still have little restriction), my gift to me may be my second fill in a few weeks.

wow candy, I know the feeling when you get to the 2's i et your down to a 26 like me. I finally baought a new pair when my 30's were starting to fall off, I retired my 32's finally a few weeks ago. Great job ladies and Libra, I better get my heiny in gear or you will leave me in the dust :confused:

Libra,

I was off the boards for a few days, so please forgive me for the delay.

CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING TWOTERVILLE...

...and blowing through the 290s!!!

:not_ripe::confused::not_ripe::confused::not_ripe::confused:

Unfortunately, the dancing bananas drank all the Margarita Isopure (hence why they're green).

Woohoo, Libra!

Woohoo, Libra!

Thanks!!! LMAO!! It's okay, I was hoping for a Pina Colada flavored Isupure anyway. :confused:

I was banded on July 20, 2006, on that day I weighed 347. My highest weight was 380! I am now 320 and CANNOT wait to put hte 300s behind me.

My goal is to have a big party with my family and friends. I think we will have a fall bonfire, sing songs, look at the stars. I think I will consume one adult beverage as a treat.

We can do this!

Well, we've started a new month. How about a check-in for our challenge? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to start a "to go" column. For example, right now I still have 28lbs "to go". I have taken off our "current weight" column because who wants to keep reliving those numbers? Not me!! That's history. Let's focus on where we're going!

So, lay it on me!
