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:

Dang it took me 3 weeks to lose only 10lbs....I'm slipping. Usually it takes me about 2 weeks for 10lbs:faint:

Sing along with me ladies to your favorite blues tune....

Woke up this morning. What did I see. The last week has been stressful and the scale is haunting me. I've got the blues....the lapband blues....the food right now is winning and scale is not my friend. But I will find the strength to shut my mouth and win at the end.

Yep, up three pounds.... No cookies..peanut butter is now my worst enemy...lol I have no control so it will not be coming back to my house again.

LMAO!!! Okay, you totally cracked me up with that! I'm with ya sister! I've got the LAPBAND BLUES TOO!!!:think

Tann, I just saw you pics in the "before and after" thread.

I'm in total shock...you look amazing! Congratulations! You've inspired me to get my butt in gear!

328 for me today.

Thank you Libra, you are doing great too!!

OK I finally adjusted my numbers on our challenge I went down to 270 then got an decent size unfill and gained back to 278 yuck and now I am at 274 and I got a small fill this morning, I didn't want to push the envelope and go all the way back to 9.5 where looking back is where I should have stopped, I think that was actually perfect for me, but for now I am settling for 9.25, gonna ease back to the 9.5 and then be happy there for a long time. It looks like many of us are struggling with the junk food right now, we all know we shouldn't give in to all those temptations but dangit cookies are good, and well sometimes we are just human and we eat the danged cookies. I ate 2 mini packs of famous amos chocolate chip cookies on the way home from my dads today, they weren't even that great and within 10 minutes the pain started in, not too bad but still there, maybe my dh is right and it is my gallbladder, I would rather think it's something far more common and trivial but maybe he's right so back to my apple juice, sigh.

I lost 1 pound in almost 2 weeks! YIKES! I think I really need this fill tomorrow. I just realized that I'm going to be on liquids for Mother's Day. I guess no Mother's Day Brunch this year. We'll just have to postpone it to next weekend!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!!!!!

Okay, I updated my numbers. Thanks for adding me!

Hey all...sounds like everyone's doing pretty well. I am still up so again I refuse to update my challenge figure with a higher number so we'll try again next week!!!!!!! Wow, that week of splurging over vacation did me up BAD!

Plus, I haven't been exercising...been feeling like I'm going to pass out. So I just went to my regular Dr. today to find out what's wrong. They think my blood pressure is going too low so I'm on a new med that will supposedly keep my blood pressure up a little bit so that I stop feeling faint. The only sucky thing is...it's a corticosteroid. I HATE TAKING STEROIDS....they make me gain weight so easily. But, I hate passing out during my morning shower even more so I guess I'll try the darn pills. UGH.
