Beef cur-- *cracks up laughing, unable to finish*

Oh my goodness! Time for you all to be jealous that I got Trish S for my Secret Sam!! She sent me a ceramic plate made by her very own hands, along with an adorable handmade card, three very yummy smelling bars of soap from Body Works (I could smell them when I opened the box! MMM!) and the cutest little pinwheel nick-nack! Trish, I LOVE the plate! And you know what? For the past 4 years there has been an empty spot on top of my kitchen cupboards that was just waiting for THE perfect addition to complete that space and YOU filled it! Have a look! Thank you so much, Trish! I loved the gift and especially that it was from you! *big happy hugs*

Awww shucks *drags toe in the dirt and blushes* You all are too kind. That's why I love ya! *big smiles*

:welcomeB: to the Gone for Good Club, :clap2: Time4change, MiaHalliwell, SunnyDee, Andy Liz :clap2: I will get you all added to the Members Page when I do the updates from this week's weigh in. Glad to have you all with us. Be sure to speak up when you need help and feel free to actively encourage others. That's what it's all about! :grouphug:

This is going to be a long post... I haven't been keeping up with y'all so I'm going to catch up now. Here we go... LegallyKristin - I absolutely LOVE the wedding gown you have chosen. It is so beautiful and you will be such a lovely bride. *hugs* Txblue_eyedqt - Hello Cynthia! I've missed ya girl. How'd the move go? Did you get your fill? Has it helped? Update me! FUPAs - *snort* *laugh* *choke* *laugh* PosterChild - Hello there! :wave: Good to see ya again. You and I are so close to Onderland now! Wanna race? *grins* Meow =^..^= - You are doing so well! I love your picture in your siggy! :grouphug: FunnyDuddies - I'm so excited about you, sis! You've done an incredible job with your weight loss pre-band. 10 more pounds! I think it's a great idea to give the winner of the next challenge the gift from Mexico, since you wont be having the apron removal contest thingy. *hugs* NaturalBeauty - 88 pounds now! Woot! Go girl go! And put down the cheesecake! *smacks your hand* hehe TellyMelly - Girl, your commitment to your better health and successful weight loss blows my mind. I wish I could get the gumption to achieve 1/4 of the things you do. Very admirable and quite the inspiration! I love your new avatar. You are so beautiful. You should be a model. I'm serious. Lianna - I'm sorry youre down in the dumps, hun. I have a question for ya. How are your clothes fitting? Things getting loser even tho you aren't losing pounds on the scale? I'd guess that answer would be yes. Know why? Because you're working out regularly now, which means you'll be burning off fat but putting on muscle. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, but takes up a lot less room. I wouldn't worry about a stall right now. Keep your eye on your body, not the scale. I'm betting you'll see some remarkable improvements, which will be much more rewarding than the numbers on the scale. *hugs* A1ikou - SIX pounds this week! Yahoo! :clap2: WiggyGiggy - Grats on reaching your goal! I'm really happy for ya! Are you joining us in the GFG Club? Hope so! LindaV - How's the fill doing? I got youre PM and will call ya soon. The mall sounds like a perfect idea for some early morning walks! *hugs* Miss you too. MoOrLess - Have I ever mentioned how much I love ya? Well I do! *hugs you tight* I'll call that cab for us now! *grins* "Weight Refuses to Budge Avenue" *laughs* How funny! Morsaille - FOUR pounds! That's awesome! Aren't you excited!!?? *laughs* I dont think I've ever seen anyone post a four pound loss in such a low key. Shout it out girl! :clap2: Pfunkem - You too! Four pounds is fabulous!! I love all your pics! Your success so far has been remarkable! Seriously... in four weeks you've developed a waistline!! Amazing!! Great work! Tricia K - Hello you. *big smiles* I've been peeking at your pics and geesh you are looking SO GOOD! Love the eyes in the avatar. Who are you peering at, hmm?? *snickers* DianeChef - I have an addictive personality too. And since I was addicted to seeing your cheerful and exciting posts, I've been going through Diane withdrawals!! I do understand tho. It's so easy to be here far too much. Life has forced the change in me, it hasn't been my own doing. I miss hearing from you tho. Drop me a line when you can and let me know how things are going for you ok? *Hugs* MollyMolly - I was SO thrilled to get your PM and to hear that youre still going strong. Yay for you!! :clap2: EmileeKaye - NO blaming things on me!! *laughs* Ya goober! Jorjet - You, me, and PosterChild are all at about the same weight now. Wanna join the race to Onderland with us? *grins* TessL - Hiya Tess! You hang in there hun. It might take some time to get good restriction in that VG band, but I'm sure you'll be back on track soon. *hugs ya tight* Mystjin - Wow, two jobs. You must be tired. How are you doing with food choices? Are you able to get your proteins in? Are you packing your lunches and dinners? I wonder if maybe you're going so slowly because you're eating foods that are quick and easy, rather than the foods that will help the weight loss.. could I be right? I'd be happy to help ya figure out some better options if you need some suggestions. *hugs* Youre not gaining and thats a good thing! Lins12 - I think most everyone is planning on sticking around for the usual club participation. Perhaps we are all just burned out on the challenge thing. I know that I'd be lost without all these wonderful people in the club. So I'm with you! You all have to stay plugged in here so we all don't start feeling alone and floundering. JoyceGA - You go right ahead and put that 3 pounds on your scorecard. *winks* Good job! HeatherGurl - Did you know that you have the most beautiful smile I've ever seen? I love seeing your pictures. You smile from your heart. You are such a happy, loving person. 90 pounds since banding. Incredible! :clap2: Everyone - I know there are many of you whom I've not addressed in this post, but that I care very deeply about. I just responded to those who have posted. But please know that I think about each of you every day and send up little prayers for you and for your families. So many different family situations, life challenges, life celebrations, struggles and victories are represented here in this club by so many wonderful people. I am proud to know you all and to be part of your journeys. For those of you who are new, it might take me some time but I hope to get a chance to know each of you too! Love you guys and gals! P'Nut

I am here! Sorry for the absence, life has been busy. Thank you for all of the PMs asking about Dawg and me. We are both doing well - happy and healthy... just busy! :grouphug: I've updated my scorecard now. Have you? The contest DID indeed end yesterday. I will be busy this morning updating everyone's weigh-in's. I will give everyone until tonight to get their scorecards completed, and the winner will be announced shortly after. I've seen some VERY IMPRESSIVE totals so far! Great job everyone! Can't wait to see all of your after pics! There will be no July challenge. I need a break and so do many of you. We will still be here on a daily basis for support and of course for weigh-ins on Wednesdays. Has everyone weighed in? Any last minute reports? There's still time! Here's mine for yesterday: C 223.5 (-83.5 lbs total, -2 this week)

Mine sticks out like a sore thumb. It aches sometimes and I find myself touching it a lot. The more I lose the more it sticks out. I'd love to have it moved lower or switched for a low profile port, but I'm just afraid to mess with success. Port infections and leaks worry me.

:clap2:Rock on Jacqui!! :clap2:

Congrats on reaching goal! That's fantastic and you look great! Do you have any current full body pics? I can tell youre smaller in your face and arms, but I have a feeling that the most drastic difference is in the lower regions. Share!

Well, my babies are on their way to their new home. They should arrive in Arkanasas on Thursday, via Fed Ex. I bet they'll be SO HAPPY to get out of that box! *grins*

Awww... the game was going so well. We need to salvage it! Hmm... I guess we just need Funny to weigh the apron while its on her. Maybe one of those hanging scales at the grocery store would work? :eek: Seriously though.. Funny! OMG!! Youre going to get banded!!! *celebrates by dancing through the house, chanting "Funny's getting banded.. Funny's getting banded!!"* Yahoo!! :clap2: I will be keeping the number assignments just in case we figure out a way to keep this game going. :fish:

Actually, while it is true that there is Water in caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea, they work against the purpose of drinking water because caffeine is a diuretic which dehydrates you. Best to stick with water and low calorie, low sugar juices. :eek:

Telly and Christy - I'll put ya down for the numbers you wanted because they are still available. But in order for this to be fair to everyone, please PM me with the number you pick so in the event of two people wanting the same number, I can determine who chose it first. Thanks!

I have two little sweeties that are all packed up and ready to go live with their new mommie. Only, I was a dope and lost thier mommy's address. So as soon as I get it from K@t, they will be on their way to their new home. Knowing their new mommy, I believe they will be very happy and well taken care of in their new home. *grins*

Mo! *gasps* *Laughs*

Here is JJB last December and 6 months later. Looking good, Jen!

I did see them. Kind of reminded me of the oozing green goo that I looked at for many days! I am doing ok now. I have a 7" X 1" scar on my tummy tho. Have they given you any idea how long this will take to heal?

Glad to hear from ya Trish. I've been wondering how things were going with you. Your doctor sounds right on. I hope it heals quickly. I dealt with a 2nd degree burn for a couple of months, no where near the ordeal you're going through and I know how awful it was! *hugs* Keep us posted.

shake, shake, shake, Shake, shake, shake, shake your bottie, shake your bootie!

She said :clap2: :clap2: FUPA!!!:clap2: :clap2: :pound::pound: You know that works for both sexes, right? ROFL!

Maybe thats why it came out so evil? I'd stay away from the fridge if it were me! LOL!

Ok, I was going to take dear Rob and make a funny clown face on him, then give him back to Funny as a way to get around the fridge police. But... *looks sheepishly at Funny* he came evil. *snorts*

NO NO NO! There will be NO sanity and logical thinking in this club! Stop that!

*frantically stuffs popcorn in her mouth, eyes wide as her head swings from side to side watching the back and forth between NJChick and Bandayed*

Ok, do you know how to email pics? If so, email them to me at skmorris2@gmail.com I will resize them and either put them up for you or show you how to do it yourself. You let me know what you'd prefer.
