Getting to Twoterville soon!

Wtn_Gurl

Today for the first time, when i finished my food for the day, MFP gives you a blurb and says "if you eat like this you will be ___ in 5 weeks" Well finally it put me into Twoterville! I cannot believe it. Since Feb 21, i have lost 48 pounds. I love seeing the numbers go down, which is part of my motivation. I'm doing a whole food -plant based Eat to Live way of eating. I'm so excited to go to the store and get new things which i never really enjoyed before. I also was able to let go of the salt shaker, and last week the water weight retention started coming down like 1 pound a day. I was somewhat plateauing - thanks to me adding salt. Didn't realize it was hurting my progress. But the best part is - I'm eating a satisfying way of eating that i can do for the rest of my life.

The other success story is - last time i was at my current weight, was 3 years ago. I had taken Phentermine. Then at the exact weight i am today, I got scared and started to regain the weight. So Yay! I'm so happy, many milestones were met today. By August 1 my goal is to be in Twoterville. MFP says i will get there in 5 weeks, but the way I am going i think it will be sooner!

Congrats on your progress so far, but you haven't given any exact numbers. First time I'm hearing about Twoterville so I'm kind of guessing here.

Found online:

"twoterville is when your weight starts with a 2 instead of a 3 (i.e. 299)

onederland (pronounced Wonderland) is when your weight starts with a 1 instead of a 2"

this lingo is new to me...

@leanitup123 Thanks. I figured out Onederland a little while ago, so I guess this makes sense too.

OH! i started this diet at 355 on Feb 21, 2017. I now this morning weighed 311. I'm almost on Twoterville, not there yet, however, MFP says I will be there in 5 weeks.. But i know i will be there sooner. I have been over this particular weight for the past 3 years. I was on MFP for a while, but like a lot of times, we just give up and go off the diet But I am on now, and am having success that will last. 4 months is all i could handle and then i started eating back my fave foods. but now i am loving different nutritious foods and no reason to go off.

Congrats! When I got to the 200s, my husband called it "two-na sandwich"

Ha! I know im not quite there, but just seeing MFP say I will be 298 in 5 weeks! that's something I haven't seen in YEARS!! at least 3 years - I have to check my numbers back then. That means I have been living over 311 for 3 years UGH!! I just didn't care and let it go. tried a couple times, but then re-ate back my fattening food.

I remember this point in the process (it wasn't that long ago) and it sure is nice to say goodbye to that 3. Just take it one day at a time and keep on keeping on and you will be amazed at what you will accomplish.

Quick doesn't equal good.

Just keep going at a reasonable deficit.

That's the first time I've heard of twoterville, but it makes plenty of sense.

Now, if my mind could just catch up to my body. My body is well into onederland but when my mind is thinking of a number that is my weight, it wants to start in twoterville.

Thank U - I know that, however it is exciting when it happens automatically without even trying

I made it to below 300 today.. it did take me longer than MFP told me but here I am and I am happy. when I saw the number on the scale I almost passed out. I had not seen that number in about 17 years.
