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"!

ok............

If I understand correctly, Funny simply volunteered to do the GFG Club just to give P'Nut a break. I never heard P'Nut complain or say she was going anywhere, I just think Funny just volunteered to be nice. It can be a lot of work to do all the stats every week.

Am I understanding correctly?!? P'Nut is still here, just not the one updating the stats & everything.

umhummm........

Hey there folks. I have to make an apology to you all, but I mostly have to apologize to Pnut. I made an error in judgement by creating this thread. This is Pnut's baby, and it was not my place to assume that she was not going to do it, or try to take on the duties for the month to give her a break. it was something that i needed to discuss with her first. I didn't. My heart was in the right place, but my head was not. I have been under a lot of stress and living on caffeine for the last 2.5 days, and was not thinking clearly. I am so sorry Susan. Truly I am. I could not replace you, not in a million years, and I never would have done something that i thought you would take offense to.

So y'all, I want you to know that I feel just awful that I made Pnut upset, and that I came across as replacing her. I have a feeling some others perceive this to be my intentions, and they would be wrong. I gladly hand this back over to Pnut, or whom ever she would like to have handle it. I am backing away. This place is consuming too much of my time, and now has messed up a very dear friendship that I once had. I will be away with my upcoming surgery, anyway.

Amy

Oy Vey. :doh: :gossip: :boxing:

Here's me...

and....

:ranger:

waiting for the proverbial dust to settle so we can all enjoy the club, no matter who posts, updates, participates, or doesn't. Puleeeeze!!!

Oy vey.....I seriously doubt that Susan has a problem with Funny starting the new thread for the July Gone For Good Club so that people can post their Wednesday weigh ins. They are, after all, good friends. I could be wrong, but it's just a feeling that I have.

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the Club was originally HeatherGurl's idea and P'Nut took on the challenge because Heather was unable to devote enough time to it due to her work/personal schedule.

Susan has done a great job with the challenges/threads but if she's in need of a break, I see nothing wrong with someone helping out until she returns.

Pnut has done a fantastic job!! I could never imagine trying to replace her. But she was hurt by this, and I feel really bad. She stated that she was taking a break from the challenge, but not from handling the upkeep of the threads. I assumed, and stepped in as a kind gesture only. Just to give her a break. That is all. But I did so without asking if she wanted me to. That was a bonehead move on my part.

Ok, Im officially up 2lbs. Though it's not weigh in, I'm 186lbs today. Uggh...

That's ok, Telly. I still love you. :love: :hug:

lol, you love all 2lbs of me that I thought were Gone for good? Hmppph!

Funny, it's ok girl! I'm happy this thread is here. Let's just move forward and make it count.

Let's have fun at weigh ins. I want to be 180 by next week when Tricia comes or 179. Wow, imagine 179, i'd sh#$%t meself.

lol, you love all 2lbs of me that I thought were Gone for good? Hmppph!

Indeed, I do.

Ok folks.. listen up. Funny did step in to help me out. She felt she was doing me a favor and I appreciate that. So this month's thread will be kept going as it was begun. Funny will update for us, and I would expect that she'll also be adding up the scorecards and announcing the winner of the June Challenge.

No biggie.

This isn't MY club. HeatherGurl and I started it so there would be a club that belonged to the club members, not just to the person with their name on the first post. And that's how it remains. I certainly don't want this to turn into a split group of people who gossip and point fingers at each other. It's seriously no big deal. As Kathy said, what difference does it make who posts what. The purpose of this club is not to glorify any one person. It's to provide support, encouragement, and love for the members. Funny was doing just that when she stepped in to lighten my load. That's what's important right? So shup now, and get back to those situps ya losers! *grins*

*hugs to all*

Welp, between that and Mo's Hose I believe the dust has officailly settled. Yay!

Situps? Were we all supposed to be doing situps?!

I missed that post....
