REST AREA

Exercise to do Bike for 21 minutes .. Hope to get a walk in this evening if it doesn't rain. Been getting thunderstorms

Day 1 was a success. I stayed within my calorie range & even used the food tracker. Down to 237 lbs. I assume it's water. I guess my weight is going to fluctuate a lot the next week. It was a little hard by the evening when I like to pig out but I was not giving in to false cravings.

Today is day 1 back on track! I revamped my spark page & I am going to see how close I can get to Onederland by the end of the year. I would love to be out of Twoterville by then but I don't think that will be realistic for me. If I can come close I will be happy. It will be better that where I am now. Weighed in at 240 lbs.

After 2 weeks I'm finally down again, 0.4 lb is better than nothing!

Hey peeps.

checking out the new place Hope to be here next week. Stopping by to say

Down another 1.4 lb and now at 235.8 =).

I've been here several times before. I am trying to get back on track and these villes are the only thing that seem to help me. They hold me accountable and also give me the enthusiasm I desperately need. I'm not sure what I will be weighing in at till Monday when I have access to a scale. I went shopping this week and bought all kinds of healthy food to eat. Sweets are a downfall for me so I'm going to stay away from them starting Monday. I will try to post several times a week for accountability till I move on to the next ville.

Getting a little closer to the exit...down almost 2 lbs this week.

I can't believe 2 things

1. It's July and I'm still here in 230ville.
2. I'm apparently here all by myself because no one has posted anything to this thread since I was here a long time ago.

I guess that means it's time to get my rear in gear and move on to 220ville. Hopefully, that will happen soon. I am doing the Summer 5% challenge which is great. It's wonderful to be a part of a team that has daily interaction and is encouraging of all their members. If you're looking for a little bit of motivation, then you should definitely consider joining the 5% challenge team which starts fresh every season.

It's Monday today. I love Mondays! They are always so full of hope. Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning! I haven't visited this page in 2 months, but see there aren't any new posts here. Either everybody's lost weight and moved on (wouldn't that be wonderful?) or this team isn't very active. I've had a few ups and downs this year but I'm weighing in at 230 today! Almost ready to move on. HOORAY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year's everybody! It's a new year and a fresh start for all. I'm starting off this year at 235. My goal is to be moving on to 220ville by the end of January/beginning of February.

I think I'll wait with you. I'm at the same spot. Looking forward to getting into 220 ville!!

I am still here. I think I missed the train but another one is due next week but closer. I am standing at the station at 231.0

Got my ticket think by next week I will be out of here. 232.6

Getting close at 233.5. Getting out my bag to pack.

Congrats Soapstress on your progress! I'm back from my brief vacation in 240ville, weighing in at 239 this morning. Hopefully, I can get back on track and eventually make it to 220ville. Have a happy healthy week everybody!

Weight down a bit. 235.0 making some progress at least.

Weight is up this week. Everything I have been doing is the same. Weight 236.5 hoping for a better result next week.

Still struggling here, but ready to make changes. I actually am out of town this week in 240ville because of some weight gain, which I believe is water weight. I should definitely be back in 230 ville by next week or so. Have a great week everybody!

I got a little sidelined this week, ended up twisting my ankle while doing some gardening. The ankle is better so get back to business. Weight is finally moving in the right direction again after my injury so weight down to 235.7 . Almost ready for midville. I am hoping to be done here in a couple weeks.

The day has finally come to say goodbye to 230ville forever. It only took me one month. Tomorrow would have been one month.The scale read 229 lbs this morning so I guess I'm out of here. I am leaving town FOREVER! Lucky I was packing my bags while on the 1st floor because I never made it to the lobby. Even though these villes don't have much interaction I am going to keep marching down till I reach my goal. I hope to look back from 190ville or maybe 180ville next year at this time. My goal is 150ville. I was reading some of my past posts & it seem that I have spent this past year between 230ville & 210 ville. I've only been back to each ville 4 times. Once I reach 200ville it will be like a clean slate for me. It's going to be a very happy day when the scale reads 209 lbs. Good luck to all who come after me! May it be a short stay here for each one of you. Arrivederci

I'm down 1 more lb. The scale this morning read 231lbs. I'm so excited:) I can see the lobby now. Only two more pounds & I will be out of this ville forever! I hope to be out of here by the end of the month. Iv'e been back so many times. Four to be exact. Each time I would say I wasn't coming back. This time I truly mean it. I hope to look back this time next year from Onederland. I have read a lot of success stories. Discipline, consistency, & accountability were key factors for losing large amounts of weight. For me their is one factor missing which causes me to fail each time. The key for me is enthusiasm. I guess we don't think of it much when we are trying to lose weight. These villes give me the enthusiasm I need to be successful. As I have mentioned before, if you look at 120 lbs. to lose it can get very discouraging. It took a long time to get to this weight & it will take a long time to get where I want to be! When you are going down the floors at the hi-rise, your talking about 10 lb. increments in each ville to lose & that's VERY DOABLE! Losing weight 10 lbs. at a time doesn't seem to hard to accomplish. Plus your entering a new ville each time which is exciting. Every time I stopped posting on these villes I failed! This is my awe moment & I am going to hold on to it & run for the gold, which is Onederland for me. I hope what I post will perhaps help someone else out who comes after me.

After 8 days the scale finally moved. I'm to the 2nd floor. It's only 1 lb. lose but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I can finally see the lobby in a distance. I wish I could twitch my nose & be in 210ville now. I would not only feel a lot better mentally but also physically. I feel that 220ville is going to be a long haul also but I will be so happy when I get their. These next 3 lbs. will seem forever for me to lose. I guess I just have to till the time comes for me to move out of here!

Edited by: LINZEE118 at: 7/13/2013 (09:54)

,I guess I'm the only one here again! I really don't mind. I weighed in this morning and I'm down 3 lbs. I was so happy to see some progress. I'm down to 233 lbs. I hope I can get out of here by the end of the month. I hope I never come back. Once I lose another 15 lbs. I should start feeling much better with more energy. Plus my knees shouldn't bother me as much. I can't wait to see the 220's again! I am starting to get excited. I have 4 more lbs. to go to see 220ville again!

Jessica, I'm glad I'm not the only one here. I know from past experience 230 & 220ville can be pretty desolate. It doesn't matter to me because these villes really help me. It is such a good feeling when you are moving down the floors in the hi-rise. Then when your bags are packed & you're waiting to move to your new ville. I get so happy! It's almost two weeks & I only lost 3 lbs. The weight is coming off very slowly. If I get out of here in a month it will be a miracle. I don't think it will happen. Oh well, I'm going to till I'm in 220ville. Their are people I was here with a long while ago that are now down to 160 & 170. I wish I didn't backslide a few times because that could have been me! I hope we can leave this ville together. Linda

Hi Linzee! Lots of luck to you! YOU CAN DO IT! I need to work on my exercising and that's my goal for the week. I weighed in at 237 today. I can't wait to get outta this place. Don't get discouraged about the 1 pound. Your weight fluctuates. If weighing on a daily basis helps you to keep on track, then that's good. I would still just use that as a gauge to see how you are doing, but maybe only compare it for your records 1 day a week. Just keep at it! Maybe we can move in to 220ville together!

Anyone, I think I'm the only one here.I noticed once you get down to 210ville their seems to be some activity in that ville. Some say you shouldn't do it but I try to check the scale each morning. I have been doing good on my diet. The bad news is the scale hasn't moved an ounce in the last 4 days. In fact it went a pound. I think I might be in this ville for awhile. I have been back on track for about 3 weeks now & I did lose a lot of weight during that time. I really think I have to kick it up a notch with exercise if I want to get out of here in the next month.

Over 2 months in this town? I gotta get outta here!

Grrrrr! I gotta get outta 230ville! This is where I always get stuck!

I feel like I am going to be stuck here in 230ville FOREVER! I have been moving all around the town but just can't seem to get out of it. The truth of the matter is I haven't been trying as much as lately but today is the beginning of a new week. I'm going to make this one count!

Good luck to you Beanie's Mom!

As of this morning I have .6 lbs to be at 230 so I am hoping to get that gone before my next weigh in!

Good morning, everyone! There isn't much activity on this thread, so hopefully I can change that. I weighed in at 239 this week and I'm eager to get past the 230's. I have a doctor's appointment this morning. 6 months ago I had to go on blood pressure medicine and now I'm going in for a follow up. Hopefully it is doing better. I'm hoping that once I drop a few pounds, I can get back off of it. Hope everyone has a great day!

I moved down to the 6th floor yesterday. Still not liking the view. Going to check with the management about moving down further. I might even move right out of here by the end of the week.

Not much action in this team. Hopefully that's because everyone has had so much success that they've moved on. I'm resting on the 7th floor right now, but it's going to be a very short rest stop.
Vicki

Wow so quiet, no one here but me. I guess I will rest for a short time. I am 234.5 today ugh! So glad no one can hear me scream aaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Ok going to rest.

Weighed in this morning at 229 so I guess I'm outta here! This was only my third time here & I made the choice that this is my last time here! Good luck & much success to all who will come after me with your weight loss journey! Arrivederci! Linda

I weighed in this morning at 236. I hope my stay won't be long. I think I'm the only one here but that doesn't matter. These villes seem to work for me. They hold me accountable. I look at loosing the weight 10 lbs. at a time. If I thought about 80 lbs. to go I would get discouraged! So for now I will just keep on posting my progress. Maybe someone will come along to keep me company.

Hi everyone,
I'm at 228 today after being at 236 last Thursday. I think 6 lbs was water and 2 lbs was actual weight loss. I'll give 230-ville another few days before jumping to 220-ville. But I just got here!

228.3 again today, so I'll be saying my goodbyes. Hope to see everyone soon in 220-Ville, then 210-Ville, then 200-Ville... Adios!

Well, I woke up at 228.3 today. That's 3 solid days in the 220's. Technically, I said I would be leaving town today, but I'll give it one more day, just for good measure. 220-ville is pretty dead (even less involvement than here), so I'll miss this ville, but of course, I hope to NEVER return.

Congrats, Laila! For better or worse, I woke up at 230 flat this morning, so I won't be leaving just yet. I'm giving myself 3 straight days of being out of this 'Ville' to officially leave. I need to make sure my footing is solid, so, however long that takes will just have to be alright. I'm hoping to do well at my official weigh-in tomorrow at Weight Watchers.

230-ville! Love you all here but hope and pray I never again return to this town. Hope to see you all moving out soon, too. I will be checking into 220-ville but don't plan on my stay being there long either.

Look forward to seeing you in 220-ville!

I officially crossed over into 220-Ville today! I'm going to give it a few days (3, maybe?) of being in the 220's before I bid farewell to this team. Today marks my 8th straight week of TaeBo as well. Big day!

Getting sooo.. close to leaving town....

Still working on maintaining all my 'Pillars of Success'. It tough. I'm trying to give myself credit for the things I do correctly, rather than bashing myself for falling short (and I usually do). I'm about a lb. and a half away from leaving town. Things are getting better eating -wise, but I still find myself indulging a bit in the evenings. I've been shopping more, and doing more meal planning. Just working out the bugs. Still going strong with TaeBo everyday. I'll hit my 2 monthiversary on Thursday!
