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:

Welcome back Marquita and you and Jusme are both doing great!

I want so bad to figure my 4th of July goal, but it is difficult until I know exactly where I end up with this challenge, lol. I am thinking it is going to be a goal of my century mark but we will see

WELCOME BACK MARIQUITA!!!! We've missed you!

Losingjusme...you are getting so close to Twoterville. That is so cool!

Molly-so you'd need to lose like 24lbs or so to hit the century mark by the fourth of july?? You can do it. It would be basically three months from now and so that would mean 8lbs/month. Yeah...with your new fitness routine you can hit that!

I'm not sure what I'm going to aim for...probably 25 pounds as well. We'll see what mood I'm in once I see how I make out by the end of this challenge!!

I'm still stalled so deciding my next goal is frusterating. I'm hoping that 25 lbs would be do-able.

thanks gals ... Lapbandit, you are a total inspiration to me! you are doing SO incredibly well! i started out a bit higher than you and hope i can do as well as you.

I'm still fighting a plateau but sticking to about 1300 calories a day. Sooner or later, the scale will budge. It's frustrating waiting for it to move. You ladies are all doing wonderfully.

OK somewhere along the way we missed copyin gth emost recent. I think I have it all up to date for everyone. Please check and make sure :mad:

Mine's right. Thanks Molly. You did have an awesome week!

Welcome to the challenge losinjusme...the more the merrier!

Well, I'm not sure...I know it's TOM so I've got "issues" right now but I was UP two pounds this morning. I'm trying not to freak out until I check in on Thursday for my week 7/8 check in.

Just remember LapBandit if you are sticking to plan and counting your calorie intake you know you didn't really gain anything except fluids I do agree it is discouraging all the same though.

Well I bought my bandiversary present a little early, I picked up a cute dressy/casual jacket from target today. It is tailored and pink linen and super fun I'm gonna wear it Easter Sunday with a black skirt and white blouse. I double scored cause it was on clearance!!! For the record it is a size 26! And we all know how target and walmart clothes run

Cool! Yes, Target and Walmart definately run on the small side so it's probably really a size 24!!!!!!!! Incredible!

Yeah, I know...I'm insane for even checking right now. I just checked...my Basal Metabolic Rate is around 1,750 calories a day just to keep me alive so to gain I would've needed to eat 10,500 calories over the past two days to have actually gained two pounds. Show me a bandster who could do that and I'll dance around town naked!! But, we all do it...we see that darn number on the scale and get freaked!!!

Plus, I'm bummed. I just found out tonight that I'm losing my health insurance at the end of this month. Now, we've got a stupid Health Savings Account with a $1200 annual deductible. So, I'm pretty much screwed. That news plus TOM means I am really grumpy right now and need to vent!!!!!!

The good news about your insurance is that you've already had your surgery

Now if it had changed prior to surgery that would have sucked
