Gone for Good Club - July 2006

[PhotoNut 7]

*staggers in*

I did it. Got drunk every day since Friday. *laughs, squints* Ow.

I found that cravings for horribly fattening foods assaulted me worse than the hangovers, but stayed true. I cooked a roast yesterday and that was basically all I ate through the day so I know that some of my weight right now has yet to pass. *snicker* I'm going to take yesterday's weight, just because I can. :grouphug:

C 222.5 (-84.5 lbs total, -1 this week)

By the way. I am really enjoying the break and Amy is doing a fantastic job! I woke up this morning thinking "Oh, its weigh-in day, I have a lot of work to doo..ooh Amy's doing it! Yay!" So thanks Sis, this break has been wonderful. *big smooches*

C-179 (-61 total, -5) whooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo! GOOOO BIKING AND JOGGING ALL IN THE SAME DAY!!!!

Wow you guys! Lianna, mychevygirl, MollyMolly and Ali you have great losses this week! Good job! Lianna, I know you can lose those last 5 pounds. And I am so glad to see that you broke that plateau!!

Desi, Heather, AndyLiz, and Kathi maintaining is alright. This was a food filled week. I am sure everyone had a crazy 4th, and in the summer time there are a lot more food opportunities to trip you up. I am glad to see some goals being set and determination in your faces. :grouphug:

Pnut - congratz on the drunk goal! LOL I think I have been right there with you since the kids are out of the house. I looked at the two empty tequila bottles on the counter this morning and didn't feel so well. LOL And a loss of a pound after all that drinking is not an easy feat!! I love that I can give you a break. :grouphug:

Telly - you are just kicking ass girl!!! You so totally rock! I love what a great job you have been doing, and I have to say that you are my number one inspiration!! Thank you.

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Linda - Thank you. And congratz on the 3 pounds this week. That is fantastic!

My weigh in for today is C-306 (-66 total, -4). It was a hard week for me. Between the Breakfast my mother in law made when we dropped off the kids, all the fast food restaurants between here and northcarolina and yesterday's festivities I think I did pretty well. Not to mention all of the drinking. LOL

Thank you Funny :grouphug: :eek: Thank you thank you thank you! I worked my ass off and made it an all day event. I want to do the same today to see how far I can push it..but i'll behave today. I'll just either bike or head off to the gym.

I got more than 5lbs off yesterday I believe but I ate like a pig and drank almost a gallon ..and still showed a 5lb loss. I was astonished.

I jogged/walked/ran 4 miles with intentions to run 12 miles (didn't happen)

I biked 22.5 - 23 miles in the evening

I assure if anyone did this, you'd drop 5-10lbs too!

I was behind in my goal setting of losing 21lbs per month since I started. I think last month I only lost 10 - 11lbs. I've got 44lbs left, I got 22lbs per month to hit. 22 for July and 22 for August. If I can do this..I'll be at goal in late August - early Sept. Actually, Sept. 11th is 5 months post op for me. Can I do this? I would be velly velly happy!

[FunnyDuddies 6]

I am sure you can, just do it intelligently. :grouphug: And you know how to do that so I am not worried. What a bod!! You really rock. And I know your goals are obtainable because you have the greatest mind set of anyone I know. You are in it to win it and are going to make this band work for you as much as it can. That is amazing!! I can't wait till we can go shopping.

[Telly 4]

Funny,

You are my latest hero. You have just dipped in the scales..drastically and I'm so proud of you. You've done extremely well to not be banded yet. You are about to become a bandster and I'm excited about that.

I have not bought new clothes yet (cept for gym clothes). I will wait to go shopping but my clothes are extremely baggy and they are falling off, exposing my grandma panties :grouphug:

What weight do you wish to reach before you buy new clothes, so we can go on a shopping spree. What-a-ya say?

[Mvpo8961 1]

June 28 - 260

July 5 - 254

I go for my first fill tomorrow. Yeah!!!!!!!!

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss this week. And kudos to those who have maintained.

Here are my stats....

C 191 (- 83 total, - 0 this week)

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Telly - I think I want to be at 250 to go out and buy some stuff. Just a few things... Then I will schedule another goal at that point. But I think 250 would put me at a point where I can see myslef heading to orlando for a little outlet malling or something like that. Maybe a trip the millenia mall. That place is so nice.

Mvpo8961 - Fabulous loss!! 6 pounds is really great!! I want to add you to the board. Can you give us your highest weight, surgery weight, goal weight? As well as tell us a little bit about yourself?

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Pinkylee - way to go on the 2.5. you are just truckin along!!

Tricia - Honestly, I am proud of you maintaining. When we bought our home in washington I put on 20 pounds. :grouphug: that was long ago, but I remember it clearly. I hope things are going well, and that home buying stress is not eating you alive. HUGS

[lianna 3]

Amy, you will need new clothes WAY before 250! You will be shocked at the difference at each new 10 lbs that come off! (Unless like me you have a closet full of multiple sizes that you are just waiting to fit into again, lol!)

PNut, glad you enjoyed your bender and still have a loss to show for the week! Sometimes it feels good to step back for a moment and then resume with new enthusiam....that is pretty much where I am right now.

All our other Losers and Maintainers and Gainers...it is a NEW MONTH! Lets make the most of it!
