i agree. those who stuck with the challenge and finished, or got close to finishing but have been abcent for a good reason should be kept on the list. if the others wish to join back up then by all means everyone is welcome. but lets keep the list to those who are actively participating. we need to focus on those and not the ones that might not want to be a part of it.

when GFG started a lot of other clubs were starting as well. i think that maybe a lot of people signed up for a lot of clubs, and have just settled into the ones that they feel best in.

the door is always open to return members. but for now lets focus on those who are staying and really get ourselves riled up. ;)

PhotoNut, if they didn't finish, updated or even checked in with this new challenge then ..oh well.

We should just focus on whose checked in now. Some people who completed last's month's challenge may not even want to be a part of this month's challenge. I'd go by who registered a scorecard as an entry in participating.

Keep in mind that the GFG Club is not just about the Challenges. Those are just fun things we choose to do within the Club. The GFG Club was started for anyone who wanted/needed encouragement or support or friendship. So, I'm not looking at challenge involvement as a criteria for being active in the club. What I'm talking about are those who joined back when the club started and haven't weighed in or posted anything since. See?

P'Nut - I say PM all the people who haven't posted lately and sign it from PAT (tee hee) What do ya think Heather? Might be fun lol

As far as not eating flour and sugar -- P'Nut you DID say within reason - like no extras and no cake, Cookies, etc. eh? So it isn't really all that hard -just LOOK before putting in mouth!

I (SEE) P'Nut -- I say send them a PM and ask if they are still a member here ;)

Exactly. Therefore.. my response was, if they didn't check in now, then oh well. Do you see my point? Some people may not even want to be bothered.

Ok, at the end of June, I will PM anyone who hasnt been active in the club at all. (No weigh ins, no posts, nothing) I know there are members out there who are still losing weight and I'd love to update them on the Members Page and move them up on the Honors Page.

I made a personal decision to not eat bread - or as little as possible (unbanded as I am) -- and no garbage lol like the other stuff listed there

And way back April 1st I gave up FRENCH FRIES for LIFE! yuck and double yuck - they are SO bad for you (for me anyhow) and I don't miss them one bit

Thank god for this challenge because prior to surgery, my biggest fear was that I'd falter and one day indulge in Doritos. My biggest downfall, salty chips. Peanut Butter is #2 on the list.

Not at all Jorjet. Anyone's welcome, anytime! Tell us a bit about yourself, and if you want me to add you to the Member's Page (The first post on page 1 of this thread) then put your stats in your post too. You'll see in that post how people show their stats.

Then copy a blank scorecard and get started. The challenge started yesterday, and you wont get points for yesterday but you can still kick some serious butt with the remaining days! ;)

Welcome to the Club!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
