Welcome to the Gone for Good Club

The members of this "club" are like-minded people who want to challenge each other to keep working toward our goal of weight loss and keeping it off! We have no illusions of the band being a miracle cure, nor do we believe that we will achieve our goals without working for them. We understand that if we continue the lifestyle and eating habits that got us fat in the first place, we will not achieve our goals. We come together in order to strengthen our determination by sharing our dreams, our struggles, and our victories with one another.

Everyone is welcome to join the club - banded, pre-banded, no band - all are welcome to join at any time. To join, please post a brief introduction of yourself and list any information you want posted on the main page. See the list of members below to get an idea of what info you can post. The only requirement for joining the club is a commitment to your own success in your weight loss journey, and the ability to say NO to Girl Scout cookies! (club joke *winks*)

Wednesdays are weigh-in days for those who wish to have us update your progress on this page. Please post a brief note on Wednesdays in the following format: C 265 (-42 lbs total, -3 this week)

We encourage everyone to get to know one another while sharing tips, support, struggles, and encouragement... and a kick in the rear when needed! *grin*

This is not a contest, there is no deadline, and everyone is a winner by being a "loser"!

i feel like crap with a capital SH. I went to the doc's office again today, cause the pain pills aren't killing the pain any longer, and I can't swallow again. I went in, and they took blood. they are going to see what they find with that. the guy was kind of a jerk. "i want you to come back and see me next week. We will not do surgery for this cause it does not warrant it. But if your white count is high I am gonna admit you. If you are not better tomorrow I am going to admit you. If you show any signs of dehydration in your blood draw, i am gonna admit you."

BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE HELL I HAVE!!!

And they refuse to give me anything that is going to kill the pain. They sent me home with percoset. They gave me morphine in the hospital. This stuff numbs my body and my brain, but it does nothing for my throat. the pain will not go away.

ok. i am done bitching. i feel like such a wuss. but this is just killing me.

Funny, have you put this on the prayer request thread? Lets get some hefty prayer power going on for you, sis!

GOODNESS Funny. I am SO sorry. Tt sounds horrible.:sick

I miss your sunshine disposition around here. Take care and you will be in my prayers.

Don't forget to keep us updated.

C - 288 (Lost a lb, gained 3, lost 2. what a week.)

Ok, listen up everyone who wants to be in the June Challenge...

Complete your Spring scorecards and get your amounts tallies on the scorecard only. I'm going to go through them, and might recruit Tricia K to help me, to verify the totals you came up with. After we feel sure that everyone has completed the cards and we have verified the totals, I'll announce the winner. This might take until Friday, so please be patient.

As for the June challenge. Tonight, after everyone has weighed in for the normal GFG weekly weigh in, I'll be starting the June GFG Club thread. I will start it just like I did this month's thread, with the Members Page, the Honors Page, the Challenge Rules, and a blank Score card for June.

The first day of the June Challenge scorecards will be today, May 31st. So you will get to count any exercise you did today on the Spring Challenge Scorecard as well as the June Challenge scorecard. I did this so we could keep in line with the Wednesday weigh ins.

Please dont post your totals anywhere but on your scorecards. And there's no point in giving me your starting weight for June. Just wait until the June thread starts and you can put all of your info on your own card.

I will close out this thread with a link to the June GFG Club thread (like I usually do) and then you can copy and paste a scorecard and get it started just like you did for the Spring Challenge.

Make sense? I hope so!

be sure to double check my totals. cause i am dyslexic with math and i have a niggling feeling i screwed up lol

C 210 (-60) -8 :biggrin1:

C 210 (-93 lbs total, -2 this week)

I need to get my after pics taken today...although I feel like there won't be a big difference...

Great Job everyone!

I'm in for the next challenge, I like the month thing too...anyway we could change it up at all...keep it exciting?

P'Nut, Makes TOTAL sense.

Have I told you lately that you RULE!!! I am SO SUPER excited about the June challenge.

Yes, I am a nerd!

Nerd.

*laughs*

I'm glad youre excited, Lins. Makes my day.

H 240 C 194 (-6 this week)

4 more lbs before I hit 50lb mark!

Just to let everyone know, the sauna suit works very well for me. I have bought my 5th one to date since surgery b/c the elastic dies out after a few washes. When I run on the treadmill or bike with my suit on , (I never wear the top and bottoms together, always separately for fear of dehydration) I drop 2 - 3lbs. Alot of it is water weight but somehow it all stays off. I lose inches like crazy. When I finish biking, about 2 lbs or more of water spills out of my pants legs and drips out of my sleeves.

P.S., if you do decide to buy one, you can find them in the sporting goods section at Wal-Mart and they are $6.99, comes in small/large large/xl xl/xxl. Remember to drink lots and lots of water prior to wearing this suit and drink water afterwards to ensure hydration. If you don't like the feeling of sweat and stickiness or having a hefty bag feeling then this suit is not for you.

I've never even heard of the sauna suit. That sounds really interesting. I may have to check that out!

Kristin

Ok, long lost Terri is trying to come back!!!!!!!!! I haven't got on or near a scale so I can't update my info. But It is so funny to read about the sauna suit. I just bought one and I have it on right know. I just got off my bike and I am sweating like a STUCK PIG! and I probably smell like one too!LOL I look like a fat lady in a large black garbage bag!

Well I just wanted to stop in and say Hi! I need to go take a shower and then I'm off again. My great neice has a ball game tonight!!

Loves to all and happy losing!

© 282 -6 this week -11 total

I'm getting confused between my scales and my Dr. scales. I think for the June challenge I will just use my scale! I feel like I have lost more than 6 lbs. this week, OH well! 6 is good, I'll take it!

shit, i'll take 6lbs every week!

Actually, my goal now has changed.

I am 194lbs and I need to get to 135lbs. I wanted to get to 135lbs by August. That's 59lbs. I've got 9 weeks left to really see if I can meet that mark. I've got 9 weeks and I'd have to lose 6.5lbs per week to hit 135lbs by August. I know I can do it.
