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:

Lapbandit you are doing so great you were banded after me and you are doing so much better. I got to stop my weekly cheating, cut it down to maybe 2-3 times a month until I can go a whole month without sweets:faint: I'm so happy for you. You're close to Onederland. I can't even imagine Onderland right now. I'm just trying to get firmly rooted into Twoterville.:heh:

Tann, I know it's a hard road that each of us must travel but don't forget to celebrate your successes too! You've lost 126 pounds in less than a year! Would you ever have thought that possible??? That only excites me as I'm just finishing week 2 of this journey. I've found and seen on these boards that the mental game is the toughest one to beat as far as food goes. You can do it and soon those shackles will be off and you'll be a dancing fool!!

Wow! Everyone is doing great in moving towards their goals. I've still got one pound to go and I'm hoping to get that scale moving downwards. Today's my birthday so I'm allowing myself a dinner out at a nice restaurant.

Happy birthday Elisabethsew!

Ridin, I often compare myself with others who have started out with me close to the same weight as me. I must remember not to do that. Thanks for reminding me;)

WOO HOO!! I went for my first post-op visit and I have lost 8 lbs!! Welcome to "TWOterville"! Down from 305 to 298!! )

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It makes getting a year older a little less painful. LOL.

Congratulations and welcome Shannonh.

Tann you are doing an AWESOME job too! You have lost an incredible amount in 2006. But, the way I look at it is...the thing that matters most at the end of the day is whether or not your happy with your efforts. If you're doing your best, then it's a total success regardless of the scale!

Happy B-Day Elizabethsew!
