Gone for Good Club - May 2006



Recommended Posts

LMAO, Mo...

Me too...soo much Water...so little time. I swear I hear voices beckoning me to the toilet.

Oh MO...the toilet has a name too..

Here are my pet names:

My scale: "Diablo "

has double meaning

1. Diablo means devil in Spanish

2. Diablo also means, "Oh wow, dayuuum!"

My tape measure: "Main Squeeze"

My toilet: "Hello Moto"

Lmao

Greetings folks!

Just checking in to prove that I still live :grouphug:

Things are moving along on the weight loss adventure. I am only a couple of pounds away from losing the office title (self appointed) of "Fat Bastard".

I am actually starting to feel some benefit of the weight loss (finally) and I almost feel ready to...exercise!

I won't be taking part in the competition, but I'll be cheering everyone on and standing by with the sacred tuna to provide an adequate fish slap for anyone who deserves it (and you be careful Ms Captain Crunch - the fish IS on standby).

Dawg's words of wisdom for May:

"Life is a journey, start enjoying the trip before you reach the destination.".

My toilet: "Hello Moto"

For a while there mine was called "ooh noo.... God help me..." but then I gave up beer and fast food.

Julie-NYC's Gone for Good Club Spring Challenge

Hi all, I'm new to the band and new to the group. This sounds like fun! I was banded on 4/10 by Dr. Fielding at NYU. I'm down 18 lbs and looking to make the most of my first 6 months. I can't think of a better way than through this challenge!

Take care, Julie-NYC

LMAO! I need the diaper too TellyMelly!

I'm in school, struggling to drink my 6 bottles of Water (I have the 100 lb excess too P'Nut) so every 30 min or so, I have to leave class to run to the restroom.

Thank God I sit on the next to last row, but one of my friends sits on the back row and has decided that he needs to set up a toll booth for all the times I run to the bathroom. lol.

:P Kristin

    I just wanted to say thank you! for this Spring Challenge....it is changing my life! My diabetes is SO under control that my numbers are too low! I don't need to take the 2nd additional medicine before my meals since starting the challenge (I cheated and started a day early) :P

    It honestly is nothing short of amazing - in 3 days I have lost 6 lbs and my blood sugar is so low it's almost scary! This is the first time in my LIFE that I have lost more than 2 lbs in a week.

    Just had to share! Big shout out to P'Nut! :clap2: for the Awesome Challenge!

    (had to pick this picture - the bloated belly is from too much water!) :brick:

    Okie Dokie folks.

    I have a SOSV (Sort Of scale Victory) to share.

    I've been described on here by some (after giving advice) as "some morbidly obese unbanded person".

    Well. As of today they can now describe me as "some overweight, but no longer clinically obese, person".

    Yep! my BMI has now hit 29.8 which is below the boundry for class 1 obesity. I am now merely... overweight!

    Can I get a whoop whoop??? :P

        Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
