Take care and Happy Memorial Day. | JulieNYC, I was so excited to hear this. I am in the same boat as you! I have 29 lbs until Twoterville!! I am so excited, I can't wait!
Plus, everyone talks about Onederland but I was wondering if there was a cool name for the 200's! I like it! I can't wait to be a resident of Twoterville!
I feel pleased that I'm losing but I need strength to give it time. Patience is not a virtue to me!
Good luck everyone!

JulieNYC, Sure, I'll race ya!!! My official one month post-op check is next Thursday, so I'll get a *true* reading. I have been guessing based on the difference between my scale and the doctor's. (Of course, the Dr. has me weighing 11 pounds more than my scale.) I am using his numbers as my ticker.

I bought a digi scale yesterday. I got tired of getting on, off, right back on, off, right back on - and having 3 totally different weights register - as much as 8# apart. The first thing I did was hop off & on a bunch of times and I got the same weight each time. How nice! It's guaranteed accurate within 0.2 lbs, up to 350. I think I'm going to redo my stats using this scale and just consider everything else a formality. ;) It's a "Taylor Glass Electronic Scale" from Sam's, about $40 I think. Maybe $30, don't remember. And it does partial pounds - my analog scale could never do that.
This morning was 314.6.
BTW I've always heard it was -
100s = "onderland"
200s = "twoterville"
300s = "tri cities"
400s = no idea...?

City: Athens Greece (I'm English though) | Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd check in!
Well my weight stayed the same for two weeks and then two things happened- I got a 2nd fill and hubby bought me a treadmill.
Anyway just one short week later I'm 9lbs down and that's taken me over the 50lbs lost mark :clap2: So as you can imagine right now I'm feeling quite positive about just about everything!

WAY TO GO ALISON :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Well, now that I know the conversion from my docs scale to my home scale, I converted my starting weight to my scale. This way I only have to convert once instead of everytime :) So, that puts my start weight 4 lbs heavier. And I am loving this fill.. not sure yet how soon I will need a second but for the moment, this one is awesome :D another 4lbs in 2 days, wahoo!

| New decade today!
I weighed this morning at 279.8. Granted, I round that to 280 for my official weight, but to even SEE the 7 was good news. I want the 80s to be gone for good!!!

Once a member, always a member! Plus it seems that I've hit another plateau, so I may be here for a while yet. And in another 6 weeks, when the scale finally moves and I lose 20# in 3 days...
You steady losers suck monkey butts.

So... if I am reading right... monkey butt is the diet secret of the fast Lap Band losers. Wonder if they have that at Walmart???
Have a questions for you guys/gals... how long after your surgery did you step on the scale? I was thinking about giving it two weeks, but do not know if I can make it that long.
Tired Old Man- Welcome... come on in to the club house. We could always use a friendly male face around.

Well, I came home the next day, think I mght have weighed. Weighed all the time on that day actually. First official weigh-in was the day after that. I'm a daily weigher. Works for some, doesn't work for others.
