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.

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*

This is not a contest, there is no deadline, and everyone is a winner by being a "loser"!

Penni - It is possible to be "off track" and not crash and burn. Make wise choices. The time out isn't about the food, it's about being with friends. Focus on the visit, and eat what it necessary to nourish your body. Chances are, you'll wind up the visit with some good memories AND some weight loss.

Kaybug - I was finally able to update the Members page and get you added on. There were some sort of technical issues going on. Sorry for the delay, but your're an official GFG Club member now! :confused:

How do I add GFG Club to my groups on my profile??

Thanks!

:confused: Kristin

P.S. Keep me in your prayers tomorrow, it's my first day back at school. It's going to be difficult eating and drinking "right", plus my books are heavy!!

Hey Kristin, I'm not sure how or what to do with those group things on the profile. I just put mine in my signature line. Go to Quick Links at the top of the page, then select Edit Signature. You can put whatever you want in there, including tickers.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and praying for strength and wisdom. *hugs*

Oh, and don't carry those books if they are over 10 pounds! Get a pull behind luggage thing for a while if you need to. The first six weeks are critical to your healing.

Thanks for the support. I'm going to be dragging my books today, they probably weigh about 70 lbs!

Have a great day!

:confused: Kristin

Okay, bing sick has been good for the scale for me. Sat morning I weighed 184.0. Sunday I was 184.6, and today I'm 185.0. New lows, each day. I'd like to keep this low trend going, but now I can eat, so I'm concentrating on being a good bandster, choosing well, drinking my water, Curves today, etc. I'm hoping it's a good fresh start to a downward trend.

Sorry to hear you were sick Kathy. I wonder if this loss isn't a product of your hard work from the previous week finally showing up. I'm sure that your new activitiy at Curves and your healthy food choices are paying off. :confused:

Might I suggest weighing once a week rather than once a day? The body's weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds in from one day to the next. Weighing only once a week gives us a better overall view of our progress. I know that's hard - trust me, I'm a scale junkie, I'd be on it everytime I walked in the bathroom if Dawg didn't hide the batteries from me! LOL Once I'm at my goal weight.. honey, I'll be on that scale everyday and if I see more than a two pound gain, I'll be on liquids for a few days! I'm serious about this being Gone For Good!

I'ts Monday! How's everyone doing? I want to hear from more of you.. Please?? Everyone just say hello so I know you're all alive and kicking, ok? :confused:

I'm alive and kicking!! :biggrin1:

I'm here. I don't know about kicking. I'm dragging on this Monday morning. Hope you all had a great weekend. I went 4 wheeling all weekend and I am sore and tired.
