Gone For Good Club- August 2006

[CanadaSunshine 0]

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:

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm

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:

Sunshine

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!!!

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.

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) For this month's challenge, please remember to give your starting and current BMI.

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'm in for this month, but let me get back to the states before I can tell you all my info...

Liz

[Desi80 1]

anyone want to let us newbies how the challenges work?

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Desi, there will be a scorecard that CanadaSunshine is working on creating. This scorecard is something that you will put into a post, and go back to to edit every Wednesday for weigh in. There is a point system associated with your weight, amount of Water you drink, how much exercise you get in, etc. At the end of the month the person with the most points wins. I won the June challenge. And this month I have a present to give to whoever wins the August challenge. It is something I picked up in Mexico when I went down to get banded. I got a present from Kat for my winning. an awesome Avon makeup set and tote.

PS Desi, make sure you uncheck the box on your posts so that your signature does not show up. It keeps the thread simple, and not so long to load for those on dial up.

Greetings folks, tis I!

Still alive (mostly a good thing)

Still losing (but slower - my old flame came back - beer)

Still a member!

C 230.5 (-4.5 er... since last time I weighed in)

Yes, I know, I am early 1 day. But I might not be back in for another month. Work, exhaustion. Excellent. NOT.

Have fun until I re-appear!
