Gone for Good Club - April 2006

[PhotoNut 7]

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"!

I haven't decided if I'm going to get a fill this month or not. That had been my plan when I got back from Spring Break, but won't be able to see my doctor until Easter weekend.

Happy April Fool's Day Ya'll!

:bounce::welcomeB: :bounce:

to the Club

Wonkette and VegasWildflower!

Paula, if you put your weight now you'll have a loss to show next Wednesday. *winks*

[PhotoNut 7]

Hey Liana :eek:

Nah, nobody gets dropped.

*points to each individual in the club* This club is for you, and you, and you... it's yours. Take from it what you need, give what you can - when you can. Whether you're the vocal type that likes the social aspect of the club, or you're the sit back and watch type that draws strength and knowledge from listening to others, the GFG Club was started for you with no expectations... only hopes that it will help when help is needed. :eek:

[MoOrLess 0]

Thank you for allowing everyone to join - some days I just read and receive such encouragement - it makes me hang in there for surgery. Other days I post. Just reading the total loss for the month of March is so amazing - who wouldn't be encouraged!! Way to go everyone! I can't wait to be there! In the meantime I am trying hard to lose some weight on my own - the pounds aren't going but my blood sugar has dropped significantly from three months ago! I'm thankful for that.

[Kimbo 0]

Well said Pnut!

I have been a member of LBT for several months, mostly watching, throwing in my two cents every once in a while. This club is great, the 1st place I go when I sign on. It has really helped keep me on track. Thanks every on.

By the way Pnut, on the tallies at the start of the thread, it shows I'm currently 2231lbs! If you could fix that I would be most greatful.

Kim

[beautifultina 1]

WTG moor! Congrats to you !

[the best me 6]

the pounds aren't going but my blood sugar has dropped significantly from three months ago! I'm thankful for that.

Mo, you should go ahead and start a Thread or Journal of your NSV's, your Non-scale Victories to keep you focused on the wonderful things happening with your body and life even during those times the scale doesn't move much, if at all! Blood sugar readings improved is a WONDERFUL accomplishment! How cool is that?! WTG!

I lost 4.4 pounds in March. Yay! Here's to a great April everyone!

Welcome to 'da CLUB!!!!!!!

[MoOrLess 0]

I wondered what NSVs were - read about them but never knew - thanks! and yes - I am thrilled my diabetes is well under control - now for the cholesterol - I worry about the fact that it has gone up even with my medication doubled -- my dad died of heart attack during the night all alone - and I don't want that to happen to me! the doctor thinks maybe it is just heredity and lack of ability to exercise - any suggestions anyone? the cholesterol has got to go down! thanks everyone - it is so encouraging here!
