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:

am I the only one on this highway that's still in the 300's???

Josette, no worries! There's plenty of room in Twoterville and you'll be there in no time!

Molly, how are you feeling? Now that you're on break from school, are you becoming less stressed? I hope it's going well.

Thanks guys for the support as always! I am getting back on track. I was on such a good routine and life has been crazy this past month which made me realize that real life makes it hard to stay focused. This is something I'll continue to work on.

We're all doing great and I'm proud of us all!

Well I have tackled two of the boxes in my living room. Half of the laundry is put away. The kitchen is one load of dishes + the floor away from being done. All this in one evening. We have been house sitting my hubby's ex's house while she is away and we have the kids. It's easier with their school schedule to stay there rather than here during the week. I cleaned her house (no easy task) in the last two days with the kids help. I am feeling much more energetic, eating much less, and yes finally starting to feel better and Josette while I reside in twoterville it is not by muh I assure you. I keep toying with that balsted number and it is still haunting me. I hope to put it far behind me soon as I am now feeling better.

Yay me!! I'm no longer in the 290's!!! Hee hee, I'm 289.5!!! I love decimals!! LOL!!!

Way to go Libra! I also was weary of being out of the woods until I got out of the 290's. I didn't 100% count myself a member of Twoterville until I reached that goal just because I wanted to make sure there was a big enough distance from Threetown!! So, enjoy it...I'd say you're an official member of Twoterville and you can sell your house in Threetown to someone else who may be hoping to move in real soon!

Good job!

You are not alone. I am still here in Threetown. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 or 4 lbs for the last week or two. Its making me crazy, I have to ignore my scales right now. My restriction is not there, my next fill is on the 31st and I am just gonna have to be strong. I know I am eating too much and I beating myself up for it. I have all these thoughts like maybe theres something wrong with my band, maybe I have a leak, or its in the wrong place. Then I tell myself that if there was something wrong the Dr. would have seen it on the fluro when he did my first fill. I just read on one of my other groups that someone who went to the same clinic as me is having major problems (tubing came lose from the band) and had to go back to get it fixed. Freaked me out a little. I can't afford to go back to get my band fixed if there was a problem. I am just ready for this darn thing to kick in and really restrict me. This is just as hard as any diet I was ever on and I am exausted to boot. I know I sound like a whiner and I am sorry. I am getting zero support from my twin right now who is very involved with her new love intrest. Thanks for listening guys.

I made it!! Boy, the last few pounds to Twoterville just kept hanging on, but I'm here now. Can I join the Christmas challenge? I'd like to be at 275 by Christmas.

Woo HOOO, NEVER 300 anything again!!

What a happy day.

Congrats Koala!!!

:high5: :dance: :madgrin: :roll: :bump2: :thumb: :banana :bounce: :) :becky: :laugh :wow2: :rockon: :) :peace: :clap2:

BTW, that was your "HAPPY PARADE"

Thank you for my happy parade. It really made me smile! You guys get the significance of being under 300 more than anyone!

Koala, grats on twoterville :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Koala-Congratulations!!!!!!! We definately get the significance of this milestone and you deserve to Celebrate.

Candy-I'm so sorry you are having problems right now but it seems like you have things under control and that is hugely important...you know what the problem is (no restriction) and how to fix it (fill) so you're ahead of the game! As far as worrying about something being wrong...it's a natural reaction. I've wondered the same each time I go through a rough patch but most likely things are OK in there and your body is just being stubborn. Trust me...you'll make it and when you do we'll all be here to welcome you!! Just try to hang in there until the 31st!!

so I'm eating tons of pasta the last week. Now that the anniversary of my mom dying is past me I need to hop back on the wagon. Will someone please kick my butt and make me go workout??? Please????
