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"!

Christy, I can definitely tell a difference. You're doing a great job. Keep it up!

Okay, I have a question regarding the criteria for making threads a "sticky". The thread has to be of "perrienial and general interest". Why are the threads for BMI over 50 and Slow Losers Unite considered of general interest? They also apply to only a select portion of bandsters, not the general membership. I dont mind saving this to favorites, I am just curious.

I wondered the same thing. I'm curious to see what the answer will be.

Thanks Tricia!

Ok..

I am going to the beach this Sunday, go fishing and get some sun to these pale legs. I'll blend in well with the manatee's..lol.

That would be an Alexandra question.

The number of "stickied" threads was getting out of hand, so we have decided on a new policy to govern what gets stuck. To wit:

----------------------------------

Sticky Policy: Only threads about banding that are of truly perennial and general interest will be made sticky. Popular threads with a lot of action will always be near the top of their forums anyway, so we have decided to take a less-is-more approach to sticking threads from here on out.

----------------------------------

Just FYI. :biggrin1:

Here it is, found it

So I get it....this thread gets plenty of action and will always be at the top. I guess it was the other threads I was wondering about. But I see the need for them to available to anyone researching or etc... and should not get lost in the shuffle.

Daaaayyummmm Christy! You go girl!

Hey, P'nut...woohooooo!!!! have one for me!!!! and Dawg...we want ALL the scoop! LOL

Thanks Kathy!

Christy, what a difference! Your pants are baggy!! I wish I had your height to spread my 5'2" out more.

Are you planning to have a body lift for loose skin later, or are you young enough that the skin will go back as it should. I remember when my skin was elastic...it ain't now.

Thanks for the pictures! What a motivation.

Christy: You are doing great! I can TOTALLY see the difference!

Telly: Have fun at the beach... Now your legs get a chance to catch up with the major tan you have happening on your arms!

P'Nut: Have a great time, and drink one for me! I just realized that I haven't even had a Margarita since my B Day almost a year ago!!!

How lame is that?????
