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:

Marquita - congrats! You and I are practically the same in the WL dept. You go girl!!

Go MOM! I bet you have been getting so many compliments! Your loss is phenomenal! 88.6 pounds in five months is a wonderful accomplishment. How did you choose your goal weight?

Wow Mom, you're loss is incredible!!! Good for you!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Mom...you're AMAZING!!! that's amazing. You're my hero!

I have 9 more pounds to lose to make it to Twoterville:omg:

We're rooting for you Tann!!!!

I'm am sorry to say I made it 5 lbs short of my Christmas goal - I wanted to be at 250 and I was 255 yesterday morning. Congrats to all who made goal and congrats to everyone who lost anything at all...

You were so close that it still counts! Good job!

Now...I'm sorry to report that although I hit my Christmas goal, I am now up about 8 pounds. So, I'm way over right now. UGH...I did a terrible, horrible, plain old stinkin' bad job at eating this past week. I had a really nice holiday, but enough is enough...I can't wait for New Years to be over so I can cross Holiday Season 2006 off my "to do" list!!

How is everyone else making out?

I had a rough holiday too. The food is just too good. LOL!! Thank goodness I pb'd my dinner on Christmas Day. It made me stop eating before I did some serious damage. Somehow, and I'm telling ya, I don't know how, I managed to lose a pound and a half!

I got down to 358 (-35) and now I'm back to 361. 3 whole pounds. ugh!!! hehehe. but that's ok. I'll get it off this week.

Libra, I am so jealous...you lost over the holidays?! You must have some serious willpower. I'm really proud of you!

Josette, 3 pounds is pretty good. You're right-if you get back on track it'll come off in a jiffy! You did well too!

Me, on the other hand, have definately gained at least 8 pounds because they've been there for the past couple days. Urgh. Once I get past New Year's I will be super-focused and my 2007 goal will be to get into Onderland.

I finally made it to twoterville. I had a two month "fear of 299" stall. I pray to never see the 300's again. I just can't seem to lose as fast as other people in this forum.

Congrats lapbandster!!! Don't worry about the pace of your weight loss. You're doing great!

Hello my friends, I know I have been away for a while. Things have been so crazy for the last few weeks. My twin sister went in to the hosipital on Dec. 12th because she had a stroke. After 2 MRI's it was determined she actually had 3 strokes. I have been in Dallas sense that time and can't bring myself to leave her to go home. It was so bad at first and I was so scared. She is 37 years old and the only precursior she had, Andy is a smoker. She had the worst headache at my house on Thanksgiving and went to the Dr. twice for that and an upper respratory infection.. The headache never really went away, the scary part of that is she is still having it on and off. The Drs still have no clue what caused this, test after test, 16 tubes of blood twice, two spinal taps, doppler, echo cardiagrams (internal and external). My biggest fear is she will have another one. So far so good, she has regained most of her ability on her left side (the stroke on the right side was the biggest one) and after physical , speach, and occupational theripies she should be able to go back to work as a phlebotomyst. (I pray) She just kept saying why did I lose 130lbs to get healthy and this happened? The test results may not come back for 2 more weeks and we may never know what caused this. I know this is long and heavy. I love and miss u guys. I didn't make my goal, but I didn't gain alot sitting in the hospital either. We are at Andy's house, (they let her come home just in time for Christmas )and I may be here awhile. I will check in when I can. Congradulations to everyone for doing so great. Candy/309 last I checked

Congratulations Lapbandster! Welcome to Twoterville! You're success has been great. It doesn't matter how fast we lose it, as long as it's coming off!! Besides, everyone seems to go in spurts when it comes off quickly then slows WAY down for awhile. You might end up sprinting ahead of the pack soon!

Candy, I am so sorry about your sister's health problems. I can't imagine what I'd do if something like this was happening to my sister. I'm sure it's scary and frustrating all at the same time. I wish there was something I could do to help. I hope everything works out. Please let us know how things are going for you and your family.
