Gone for Good Club - July 2006

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Hey y'all. Here is our home for this month. And since we will not be having the challenge this month (so that we can all take a breather) weigh ins are still on wednesdays, and we will have weight loss totals on the front page here, and of course the awesome support that we have all grown to love and enjoy.

If you are new to us...here is a little bit of what the Gone For Good club means, in the words of our illustrious club manager, PhotoNut. I feel they sum everything up quite nicely. Also, the list below, and the Gone For Good Honors Post will be updated every thursday, the day after weigh in day. The list below will be updated with the totals from Jule as soon as they are all in.

Congratz on joining. We do better with you here!! And remember that once it is gone, it is Gone for Good!!

________________________________________________________________

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"!

[Sunta 4]

Hi,

I'm not a very good club member, having not posted my loss for a few months-- sorry! But I did want to check in and say that my total loss to date is 36 pounds!

--Becky

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Alright Becky!! I will update the totals to reflect it. And welcome back to the club!! Good to have you back!!

[Bye 0]

Gosh, a month off!! What will I do??:grouphug: Of course, in July in south Georgia I can sweat it off.

I do want to claim the -3 on my scale this morning for June, so I am 391 lb (-59):clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

[EmileeKaye 1]

WooHoo, glad I found our July home! I will be checking in every Wednesday, promise! Funny, I think you should put this link in the June thread.

**Waves at all her cellow club members** I love you all!

[Tricia K. 0]

Amy - even though I'm not participating in this month's challenge, I appreciate you starting the thread. I will still weigh in on Wednesdays and update everyone.

BTW - my stats should be the following:

Tricia K. - H 283/ S 274/ J 216/ G 160/ C 191 (-83 lbs total, -1 this week)

Thanks! :biggrin1:

My July weight loss goal is 10 pounds.

And, here is my beginning of July pic.

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Thanks Tricia!! I wanted a place for all of us GFG'ers to still congregate and update our stats. Just because we don't have the challenege going doesn't mean the club is defunct!!

Emilee, I will do that. It is a very good idea. Thank you.

Joyce, I will update your totals. I am sure GA will give you all the heat you need to sweat it off girl! :girl_hug: Just think...in a little while you and I can fit into some sexy baseball outfits and you can come down here and gawk at the braves during spring training. They'll be lining up to sign autographs for us. LOL "Hey Chipper!! Come here!"

One other thing...I think those who wish to keep scorecards here just to keep their stats and make an easy place for accountability are more than welcome to do so. We will be bringing the Challenge back in August, but that does not mean that you should not challenge yourself. So feel free to post a scorecard. Let us see how well you are doing. And keep it as a reminder of what rules you should be following. You can get a scorecard in last months thread on the first page. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=19195

Alright GFG!!! Lets lose those pounds!!!

[jqpublic 1]

Ive,holding at the same weight for over 7 months now and would like to join the gone for good club.196.5 from 310 Thanks John

[FunnyDuddies 6]

JQPUBLIC!!!

So glad you are here! I will update the list to include you. Would you like to tell us a little about yourself? When you were banded? How your weight loss has been? What your current goal is?

I have to say your weight loss is an inspiration!! Congradulations on it! I didn't even realize what your totals were till I was adding you to the list. LOL Good job!!!

[ScrapKarla 0]

I've not been a very active member since I joined.. We are moving into our own house this weekend so I should be able to join in more once we get settled.. Hopefully I'll be able to start losing again when I'm no longer living in someone elses basement...

Still no change in weight.. major plateau

[HeatherGurl 0]

Funny~ These are my current stats. (from Wednesday's weigh in)

HeatherGurly - H 365/ S 329/ J 279/ G 190/ C 239 (-126 lbs total, -4 this week)

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Karla, life does seem to get in the way sometimes doesn't it? LOL No worries. When you are more settled then we can support you in losing again. I hope the move goes well!! I hate moving. LOL

Heather, thanks...I will update it now for you.

[HeatherGurl 0]

Going to buy a new car today...

We are looking at the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and a Chevy Impala. I am so excited!

[lianna 3]

I love you guys! Your advice helped me get over a hump!

Ok, TOM is over and I off my pity party throne, lol!!! I did everything suggested.....went on all Protein (shakes, ff cottage cheese, etc) for Wed and Thurs. Went walking for 45 min Wed, Thurs, AND this morning. I am happy to say that my scales budged! I had gone from 186 to 187-188 and this morning it was steady at 185!
