Road to "TWOterville"

Julie, you are so right, I need to not get on the scale. It is too late for this morning, but I am gonna lay off the scale till September 1st. I think my restriction is close to perfect, I am almost never hungry at all but I can eat good healthy food without pb'ing (just need to be cautious with chicken). I am gonna work my fill and stay off the scale and just live life this month, carefree of peoples expectations. And I will check in here on LBT to encourage others

OOh and on a fun note I put in extensions for the Rennesiance (sp) Fair. My hair went from short and sassy to half way down my back! I wouldn't want to keep it, it's just not me, but it will be fun to have period hair to go with my ren. clothes

Guess who snuck into town?! Yep, I think I finally made it! Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement! You guys really kept me motivated! We're a good group here and we'll keep eachother going!

YAY!!!!!

Good for you LapBandit :confused:

I hope to be joining you soon! But I won't know till August when my husband put the scale back, hehe, I asked him to hide it.

[waterlily1072 5]

Oh My Goodness, where is everyone? I know a lot of you moved into twoterville, but surely I'm not the last one here in tri cities. :omg:

It will be at least Sept 1 before I join you as I won't be weighing myself this month :huggie: Almost asked hubby for the scale back but I didn't.

[LapBandit 5]

I'm here!! I've been wondering what happened to the team too!

So, how's it going for you? I'm proud of you for giving up the scale for awhile. It is the hardest habit to break! My doc made me promise I wouldn't check and I didn't for the longest time, but now I can't stop checking each morning and it's driving me crazy. I think I need some of your willpower!!

I am in! :heh: :heh:

[LapBandit 5]

So cool...we're getting there everyone! Good job and congratulations! Next stop...250!

[waterlily1072 5]

Wahoo! Noticed yesterday morning that I have an extra 3-4 inches between my belly and the steering wheel

And LapBandit, it isn't willpower it's my husbands willingness to hide it, lol

[LapBandit 5]

I use my steering wheel as a measurement too! I'm kinda too far back in my seat now but I don't want to adjust it because I LOVE the feeling!!!Congrats and happy driving!!

I asked my hubby where the scale was today and he said he didn't remember. When i asked if he was lying to me he said yes, lol. He will not give in, yay :Banane27: So I pulled out the tape measure instead and since I last measured I've lost 2 more inches off of my waist and hips

[waterlily1072 5]

Good job BPM!!!

[LapBandit 5]

I've lost 2 more inches off of my waist and hips :Banane27:

That's wonderful! Congratulations! It sounds like you're kicking butt this month!!

[waterlily1072 5]

Uggh, I hope so, went to the fair today and had kettle corn and a scoop of ice cream. But we had a lot of fun and did a lot of walking, so maybe i didn't do to much damage, but we have to live a little too

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. Congratulations all you new Twoterville citizens!!!

I had seemed to get stuck at 297 for the longest time and kept gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Very frustrating and too close to the border for my comfort! Grrr!

But this week the scale seems to be cooperating again. Yipee! It is strange--My first fill was 3 weeks ago and just now seems to be really kicking in. Anyone else experience this sudden improvement in restriction? Maybe it is all in my head, but it is working, so I am happy!

[LapBandit 5]

Molly, I'm sure it's fine. You're right...a little splurge on special occasions keeps you feeling positive about your life. I don't think its realistic to be a perfect angel for the rest of our lives!

Welcome back Marcy! Congrats. Yeah, with this heat I really had bizarre restriction. One day I felt tight and the next wide open. It's weird, I really didn't expect the weather to affect it so much. But, when the air temp is over 100 degrees I guess your whole body reacts to it!
