Gone For Good Club - September 2006

[lookingout 0]

OK, ditto for me too. The drama lately is dragging me from my focus=making the band work for me! I'm joining the club for September. I've been working and traveling a lot for work, but still want to check in, and have been doing a lot of life rearranging too, but need you guys to help me be accountable for my actions. Long live us working together GFG'ers!

C 177 (-52 total) I hit my 50lbs gone goal!!!

I know it isnt an update day, I will check in again on Wednesday for that.....I just wanted to share that I hit one of my biggest goals!!!!

My summer break is over, and life is back on a schedule now! I want to be an active member for September!!! I need to recommit myself to getting in my Water and Protein this month. My goal is to lose 1lb a week. (Not completely clear on what all the crazy changes are and hope this is the working thread for GFG.)

I had stopped going to the other threads because of the drama on this site. GFG was my last hope....but this is getting sad. I will be checking in every once in awhile....but this place won't be the same without P'nut.

Thanks Heather for taking over! Hope everyone does great this month.

Congrats Lianna! awesome first goal - 50 pounds - wow! good job

and yep - this is the right place to be lol

Emilee -- I agree totally - without P'Nut it doesn't seem the same - but those who want to be - will show up - others - they'll visit - I guess life goes on - not much else anyone can do

Whewww! Glad I finally found GFG club again!! What a crazy, wacky few days. It has taken me a couple of days to catch up on what was going on. Hope all is settled down now. I come here for support, because I really need it and a kick in the a$$ once in a while...Telly are you out there? I am still working on the July to Sept. 20th challenge to lose 20 lbs. Not sure I will make it. I keep having to fight with myself over what I eat at night. Just when I think I need another fill, I have several days where I can barely eat anything. At least once a month I go crazy with cravings, do you still have raging hormones monthly after menopause??? I think that I do because it happens about once a month, I could eat anything, and sometimes do.

Telly I am so jealous of you I can't stand it but you have really worked your butt off to get where you are. I don't have the time you have to work out, but I don't use the time that I do have to work out. I know that needs to change, it's just getting myself to do it.

Oh yes, my stats are wrong on the 1st page. I wish I was where you have me but the real numbers are H 304 J 297 S 286 C 260 G 160 (-44) starting BMI 50.1 current BMI 46.5

I know the drama has gotten to alot of people here, but don't leave the positive side of this forum because of a small negative. The girls in the Kansas SMMC Chicas and the wonderful people in this thread keep me going every day. Teresita started a great thread on daily goals. These are the reasons we all came here. Ignore the drama, join the encouraging threads and we will all be fine.

WTG! I am three lbs away from my 50 lb first goal level and I CAN'T WAIT!

Go outside on the lawn and do the snoopy dance in celebration. Take pics for all of us of course.

Hey all,

I too am staying away quite a bit but will post on here from time to time...

It's nice to finally read that '2' at the beginning of my weight. I now just need other numbers to go down, down, down.

Well done for keeping this club going. Things are changing round here <sigh>. Still, we have our roads to travel and lbt has helped me more than not to keep going and so I'll be here looking in!

Hi All,

I was wondering if I can join the club? If so, what do I need to do?

I have been giving in to the temptation of cheetos and ice cream and really need some added motivation right now and this seems like a good place to start.

[503-250 1]

Hi Susan, I think anyone can join...I mean...seriously...they let me in.

Post your stats (surgery date, highest weight, surgery date weight, current weight, goal weight) and they will add you in...then just send me some cash...50 - 100 bucks depending on how you feel and you are in.

Okay, I'm not a fan of the scale. I'm a fan of how I feel and how my clothes feel. And I know it's not Wednesday....but man! I'm having some serious personal issues lately! I've got a guy that I'm trying to get over, and wow haven't had something affect me like this since high school! So, I know I'm rambling (ah the consequences of caffeine) and I've been travelling a lot for work, and have had a rough time eating well (ie the 1200 calorie thing), but have been exercising, and.....I just weighed myself...and.... H:185 S:178 C:155 G:110! WOOT! I was 165 the last time I weighed myself in August, so I'm stoked! I'm only about 4 feet 10 inches, and pretty muscular, so I am so happy with 20# so far since my surgery april 26 06! What a way to start the weekend! I'm going to go work out! Have a great weekend peeps!

It took me forEVER, it seems, to get out of the 180's but I'm finally there. Sometimes, I'm less than 180 at night...WOOT! but I have never been lower than 177 point something. (wait, have I seen 176.8? if so, I haven't seen it since) so keep chugging away. :clap2:

Kathy, I am SOOOO happy (but jealous) for you.

I have NEVER EVER seen 176. Ive peeked at 177, but never lower.

you are making me nervous again...:biggrin1:

~~escuse me while I go swallow my diet pill~~

I love cheetos and ice cream, too. Do you put the cheetos on the top or underneath?

Fickle scales. For the last two daya, morning weight is 189. This morning, 191. What's with that?

[the best me 6]

Paula...176.6 this morning. I'm fairly certain this is a new low. Here's the deal-io though.

Unexplained restriction. (warning...TMI to follow) Over 2 weeks ago, the day I started my period, I woke up with more restriction. Normal, right? Yup, for me, but it usually goes away by day 4 or 5 after I start. It hasn't gone away. Not that I'm complaining..but it's odd. I'm really having to be more careful with the size of my bites and the extra careful chewing. And still, I get the first-bite-syndrome thing going. I have PBd once in the last 2 weeks. I have been drinking my aloe vera juice at bedtime, too. But the restriction is still there. I quit eating because it's too much trouble, and have been resorting to junk on occasion. Cheetoes (Susan4794 and Stitchy! btw, cheetoes get dipped in the ice cream here...LOL j/k) and still, I'm seeing some results.

I'm not complaining about restriction, or resulting weight loss...promise! but the restriction is unexplained and then I go down the "am I eroded?" road...ugh. It's hard not to do that...get paranoid about band problems.

Anyhow, I'm happy with my new low and hope I can see 175 in the next week. Now for the Cheetoes! Let's get rid of those suckas!! Actually, what I did was bought a bag and as soon as I got home, I emptied the bag into snack bags for lunch boxes. Problem solved. Right? Let's hope, or SOMEone in our house isn't getting cheetoes for lunch anymore! LOL

Ha Ha Stitchy, please tell me this is a joke. I couldn't imagine eating them together, lol.
