I have left lapbandtalk due to the recent behavior. September Gone for Good Club needs a new leader. ASAP. My posts will most likely delete as I exit.

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.

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"!

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).

(H-highest weight, S-weight at surgery, J-weight when joined this club, G-goal weight, C-current weight)

Use CDC BMI site: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm

If your name is in RED, we need your current weight.

Hey thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Myself, Tricia, Heathergurl, EmileeKaye, PhotoNut and a few others I think are all almost wearing the same pants size. How cool is that?

Cool yes Telly, but how can a 224.6 lb gal fit into a size 12 jeans comfortably? I still don't get it... my tag must be wrong on my jeans

Or maybe I have a lot of muscle??? HA!

Nahh, you are waay taller and some people have more upper body than lower. Every make of body is different. Recently, my sister weighed less than I did and is in a bigger pant size. I weigh less than she does now.

I'm only 5ft 3, if at that. I think I'm shrinking. But, if you think about it, I am in a size 12's and I do wear 14's but they are kinda loose. Someone at 5ft 6 weighing about 20lbs more than I and fitting into the same jeans makes perfect sense.

OK, well that makes sense... I am 5'10", so I guess the heighth works for me here.

Nope Paul, I don't think your booty would look as good as mine in them.

I will find some excuse to take new pictures this weekend... let's all try that. New pics for September!

I'm thinking I'm due a new "After" picture. I'll see if I can persuade the wife to take one.

Even though I feel pretty darn fat this morning.

Heathergurl, no excuse needed. Snap away, everyday if you want to.

I take pics every 2 days for no real reason.

I agree dawg...

New avatar too... I doubt you still look the same as when that pic was taken.

I agree dawg...

New avatar too... I doubt you still look the same as when that pic was taken.

Correct, I got uglier.

why are some names in red on the first page? just askin....

.....Stitchy...thanks for the suggestion of putting the shake in a mug at the bar b que. I'll do it. That way...who has to know?

I'm a bit more concerned about the formal sit down fancy do we're going to tomorrow night. La de dah, at the country club. I'm seriously thinking of excusing myself from the sit down dinner portion and running up to the house and heating up some Soup and then coming back later. Do you think that would be incredibly rude?

Later, gators.

Lyn

I think you need to take care of yourself. You need to eat - such as it is. You could run home for that. Or, if you don't want to go home, put some soup in a thermos and leave it in your car. You might have to do a lot of 'splainin' if you sat at the table not eating. If anyone asks later you can come up with something plausible. Forgot something I needed, etc. Probably no one will notice. Maybe you can join the dinner after the entree has been served and just ask for a drink instead. Got no appetite. Couldn't eat a thing. This is workable. As my mom used to say, "Just put on your thinking cap!"

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! La Madam!!! How are you??????????????? I am just dying to know how everything is going.

Telly, I LOVE the tatoo..and you! As always.

NOLA! How are things?

So...I just joine d agroup called Austin Fit...which means I am going to start training for the marathon here is Austin. ARG!!!!!!!!! I may be crazy. I have done a half marathon before. What I am really looking for is workout buddies. I think this should help.

Telly and Funny, what are ya'll eating for your 6 meals? GOTTA KNOW!

I just adore all of you and am so happy to be a GFG member. WHOO HOO Spetember! One month from my 30th bday. I am SO juiced about it. Big party and such a new me!

Here's a true sample:

B - Isopure shake (50g of protein)

S - Grapes (2-3oz)

L - 1/2 can of Albacore Tuna, lots of spinich greens, romaine lettuce, red onions, sprinkle american cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, 5 croutons and Mikoto ginger dressing

S-1/2 of Isopure drink

D - Sometimes the other half of the salad, at other times, grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli with velveta cheese melted on it (1 slice)

S-Light Dannon Yogurt drink

1-gallon or more of Water daily

Also too, dinner life has really changed in my home. I prepare my daily meals early in the morning and will eat according to plan throughout the day. I will, however make my family a separate meal for dinner, such as pork chops, mac n cheese, cooked veggies. They will never eat what I make for me therefore, I have to take care of them differently.

lins -

doing great, finally. back living the low-carb life after an extended vacation, finally got a job (temporary, but promising), best friends are back from india, and i'm about to go lay out in the sun at the levee. oh and wine tonight, first drink i've had in 12 days.
