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:

scale's not moving....

I'm slowly moving in the right direction and am trying to get in more fruits to progress to a healthier diet. The 100 calorie snacks are not satisfying and offer no real nutritional value. Stay cool in this heat!

up up up .... not the way the scale should be going ... grrrrr

Hang in there. I'm actually afraid to get on the scale this week. I won't be working out at all and I'm sure eating a lot of takeout as we're moving on Friday. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't gain.

Good luck with the move! I'm sure you'll burn those calories with all the lifting, etc., involved in the move. Where are the missing members of our challenge? I hope everyone is OK and just on vacation.

Hi Ladies! I'm back. Was on vacation, way to much vacation, and my scale has taken a trip back to the dark side. *rolling eyes*

I got a fill yesterday, though. My first day back from vacation...and so far, its looking like some of it may have just been water gain, because I'm already down 2lbs, and I know it wasn't because of the fill. Since I didn't get the fill until late last night. My surgeon holds appts up to 9pm.

Anyway....I'm here, and ready to get started back to losing.

Welcome back, Chris. I hope you had a nice vacation. Cherrybomb, ongratulations on being banded and you can join the July challenge. Just cut and paste and enter your values to the chart.

Hello to the beautiful people.

It's been awhile since I've posted. When I am feeling blue I hate to get on here and bring the place down. Went for my 3rd fill yesterday, at least I haven't gained any. I have 10 lbs to go before getting into twoterville. I should be ecstatic, but I feel like I have busted my butt this last month on the treadmill, (several times did over 60 minutes) never less than 30 minutes and I lost 7lbs. It's weird, it's like I am killing myself and nothing is happening. I see people on these threads who were banded the same day as me and they have lost like 50 or 60 lbs.

I guess I should see it as I haven't gained.

My NP had a hard time getting the needle into my port, said she wasn't strong enough yesterday. It took several very hard pressing jabs to get it in. Again if the glass is half full then that means I am not leaking through the port. Why am I feeling depressed here? Some days I don't get this surgery, it's supposed to make you a happier and healthier person. I want to get into the July challenge. I would like to lose 5 lbs in half the month that I have left. That way, I can possibly be in twoterville by the time I go in for my next Dr. appt. in Aug.

PS. I love seeing how all of you have progressed. Maybe I am back because you all are just inspirational. I think that's it. Ciao Bellas

CFK, hang in there, you can make it. At least as you said, you haven't gained!

I gained, or think I did. I was weighing myself at home that last couple of weeks and today was my first day back working out so it was my first post-op weight on the scale that I usually weigh on. I'll be I gained, though. I'm doing mushies now and have gone from 550-700 calories a day to 1000-1600 a day. Which is still less than the 2200 I was doing pre-op.

I refuse to change my ticker, though!

Hey guys, can I join this challenge if I haven't been banded yet? (I will go back and read all the previous posts tomorrow but I'm jumping the gun now!) I weigh 330 and it looks like my insurance won't approve the surgery until I've "complied" with the pre-diet enough to lose 30-40 pounds. Geez. Oh well, I'm committed to this banding journey so I'll find a way. I sure could use the support! Thanks!

welcome Gibson! good luck with the initial phase!
