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:

Sorry to hear that Libra. I agree with Indianlight...you'll stay strong and you'll make it through without gaining it all back. You can do it and we're here for ya if you need to vent!!

Thanks everyone! The dr's office called and said to call back on Thursday to see if there are any cancellations for a fill on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! If not, I'll just have to be careful. I really need to learn not to stress too much about these things. I immediated start to panic and I shouldn't do that.

I did it! I weigh 298! NO MORE 300!

Woohoo! Way to go Mariquita! The 200s are so much fun -- we're glad to have you here! You're close to the century mark too -- so exciting.

Keep up the good work.

ok, i should probably wait a little bit to post here, but i dont wanna! :eek:

i have 51 1/2 pounds to go to get to twoterville .. i am in the deep suburbs, but i am inching forward daily.

Wow, talk about a reeling memory. I was just persuing some old posts, looking for something, and came across a post of mine where I couldn't wait to get to Twoterville, and quite possibly questioned whether or not I could do it.

Times like this are when the big picture really hits you. Day by day my weightloss is not spectacular. Even month to month. It just kind of... is. But then you step back and see the forest and wow, there are a lot of trees in there!

I'd like to be anywhere in the 250s by xmas. I'm weighing around 265 now so it's a possiblity, but not a probability.

And this coming from someone who doesn't like to set goals.

At least not with weightloss.

I am working towards under 250 right now. My next pant size is a 20. I should be there in another 20 lbs.

Update to my Christmas goal...I'm at 258.4...7.6 lbs to go to my goal of 250!

Congrats Mariquita!!! Welcome to twoterville!!

Ericsmom!!! You can do it!!!

I guess I am already in twoterville but my next goal is the beginning of twoterville street (200lb)...50lb to go Hopefully, I will get there by June next year.

Well, I tried waiting a few days before I posted just to be sure...but I've been under 250 for a couple days! Can you believe it?? I can't! Honestly, when I even considered surgery I thought...if I can go from pretty much 400 down to 250 within a few years then I'd be satisfied. I cannot believe I have actually hit this goal. I feel like I have a shot at slowly moving toward a weight within the normal or even slightly overweight range. I want to get rid of that "obese" title from my medical records by the end of next year. My next year's Christmas goal is to lose the word "obese"! Thank you to all of my friends here who continue to encourage and support me! Without you guys I know the journey wouldn't be this successful or fun!!

Hellloooo....any one out there??? I'm all alone and scared. (Just kidding, I know it's tough this time of year.) Anyway, today was my birthday and I did a very bad thing...we always order out for people's birthday's so I had a huge lunch and then a super-huge piece of chocolate fudge birthday cake. YIKES! Considering I have a weigh in on Friday and I'm already PMSing so I am carrying a lot of water weight...I guess it will mean a less than stellar weigh in. Urgh...I am enjoying the holiday season but cannot wait until New Year's is here so life can return to normal! I hope you all are hanging in there too!
