Happy August 1st everyone!!

This will be our home for the Gone For Good Club – August Challenge.

For any newbies out there, the gone for good Club is our way of “banding” together for support and encouragement as we take off those pounds…(I know, cheap pun)

…Once each pound is lost, we consider it Gone For Good!!!

Weigh ins are on Wednesday in this format: current weight (total loss, this weeks loss) like so: C-350 (-36, -2) This person’s current weight is 350, they have lost 36 lbs so far and they have lost 2 lbs this week.

Feel free to join at any time, by posting a brief introduction for yourself and let us know what you are challenging yourself to. Whether you are banded or not, we are very happy to have your company!

This is not a competition, but just for a little added incentive to each of us, FunnyDuddies has promised a gift to the biggest “loser”, and I will be awarding a prize to the participant with the most creative exercise idea during the challenge.

This month’s challenge will involve keeping a close eye on our BMI’s (Body Mass Index) Here is a link to a BMI calculator so that we can make sure we are all using the same one:

So here’s the challenge: Let’s see how much we can lower our BMI’s over the next few weeks. I want to hear that we are all guzzling our Water, eating healthy, and moving, moving, moving. The more creative the exercise the better! Share your ideas…

And we are all going to try to fight those demons who lurk in closets and cupboards…the one’s that make us crave no-no foods and try to convince us to slip into our old habits and negative patterns. We are united, we are strong and these pounds will soon be GONE FOR GOOD!

Welcome to the club for August, and good luck!!:clap2:

PS

Just a reminder, when posting on this thread, please remember to take out the check mark on "show signatures". This can be such a long thread, that it gets hard for those on dial up to participate. Let's try to keep it as "clean" as possible.

Thanks!!!

OMGosh, it's Wenesday! Crapola. I weighed 179.0 this morning. No change.

C 183 CBMI 29.5 (-91 lbs total,-3 this week)

Hello Everyone,

H 315/ J 299/ G 170/ C 260/ CBMI 42.0 (-55 total, -2 this week)

Have a great week everyone!

H 380/ J 351.5/ C 262.4/ CBMI 45.8 (-117.5 lbs total, -4.6 this week)

REEIZBOOJE - H 314/ S 300.5/ J 277/ G-145/C 265./ CBMI- 47 (-49 lbs -12 lbs this week)didn't post last week, as I had no lost, but I started the lemon cleanse last wed, so that's why I have the huge lost this week. I also had a fill yesterday.

If Telly shaves her head....

AND Paul saves his head....

I will....

Point at them and LMAO!

You two will look like emoticons!

Sorry, not gonna happen for me. I have a big round noggin, would look like Charlie Brown.

We can all pitch in and send her some car polish, to get her cranium to a high gloss shine!

Just teasing.

BTW, no change for me this week.

down another .5lbs (slowly creeping) -67.5lbs total.

Ericsmom - H 337/ S 322.5/ C 299/ CBMI 51.3 (-38 lbs total, -3.20 this week)

I'm in TWOTERVILLE!!!!! Yippee!!!

I get my first fill tomorrow morning

C=256 (-39 total; -2 this week)

Shaving me head is my -reward- for reaching my mini goal of 200lbs. I used to wear my head shaved for years when I was smaller. I'd do it now except I think it looks odd when my body is this big. Here's some old pics.

And when I reach goal weight, I'm buying leather clothes again!

Holy crap! Leila has a purdy head!

Well, no change for me this week, TOM going on here so I am glad for no gain.

C=185 (-98 total -0 this week)

H 278.5, C 262 (-16.5, +1) ah well - the see-saw won this week - working hard already to get it back down again next week!

No change for me guys!

I certainly will not be complaining though. I walked into JC Penny's yesterday and spent $200 on clothes without trying them on, and I look great in all of them! I really love the 14L Levis that slid on with no problem.

NEW GOAL: To get into the 12's by my birthday! 10-19

heathergurl...

I'm with you on that one. Am in 36-38 jeans right now, will be my one year bandiversary in November... and would love to get back into a 34 waist pants! Haven't worn them since 9th grade, and I'll be 41 in November too. Would be a great birthday present.

More crunches... more crunches... more crunches.

Update for Maryb
