Gone for Good Club - May 2006

Thread Starter  

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*

From April 26th through May 31, everyone who participates in the challenge will earn points for various achievements. On May 31st we will all tally up the points we earned during the challenge and the one with the most points wins.

Who can join: Any GFG Club Member can join at any time during the challenge. There will be no back dating your points, so if you join on May 1st, you begin to accumulate your points on from that day forward.

Keeping track of points: Below is a score card you may copy and paste into a post on this thread. All of your updates will be kept by you on your score card only! This way we don't end up with a 100+ page thread. Simply go back to your Score card and Edit it to update.

How to copy and paste the score card: Place your mouse pointer at the beginning of the Gone for Good Club Spring Challenge line on the score card. While holding down the right mouse button, drag the mouse pointer down to the bottom of the score card. You will see the entire card become highlighted. Right click the mouse and select Copy. Then, at the bottom of the this page, click on Post Reply. Point and click inside the edit box that opens and then right click on the mouse and select Paste. You may then enter your points for today. If you wish to veryify that everything looks good, click on the Preview Post button. Once you are satisfied that your card is correct, click on the Submit Reply button.

How to edit your score card: Click on the Edit button of your score card. Then click in the middle of the line where you wish to place enter your points. Type in the number and then press the delete button on your keyboard one time. This should keep the formatting. *crosses fingers* Preview your changes to be sure they are correct, and then click on Save Changes.

Everyone will be on their honor to keep an honest record of their daily points.

How to earn points:
Rule 1: For each day that you drink a minimum of 64oz of water, you earn 1 point.

Rule 2: For each day that you exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes (doesn't have to be all at one time), you will earn 2 points.

Rule 3: For each day that you do not eat foods that contain flour or sugar, you will earn 3 points. Sugar substitues and small amounts of sugars in healthy pre-packaged foods are allowed. There are healthy foods that do contain small amounts of sugars, such as cottage cheese, whole grain cereals, fruits in light syrup, etc. This is aimed at cookies, cakes, candies, sweet drinks and granulate sugars added to your foods and drinks. Whole grains in cereals is also permitted.

Weightloss: For each pound you lose during the challenge, you will earn 1 point. This will be based on the difference between your weight on April 26th and your final weigh-in weight on May 31st.

There are 36 days in the Spring Challenge, so there is a possibility of earning 216 points. However, for those of you who achieve a perfect record in any of the first three categories by earning points every day, you will receive a 5 point bonus for each perfect category at the end of the challenge, making it possible to earn 231 points if all categories earn a bonus. Of course the weight loss will vary so we won't know until the final day (May 31st) who has won!

The reward:
The winner of the challenge will be awarded the Gone for Good Club's Medal of Honor which can be added to their signature line. (This is a slightly bigger version.) However, all who participate will receive the reward of better health and a lower number on that scale, so I want to see all of you participating! Good luck to everyone and may you all lose!
