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"!

Is it Tuesday yet?

Hey everybody....just saying hi, its been a while. I am not doing so good with the diet thing...I do good all day...and then like tonight...I had a whole solo lean cuisine meal, 2 handfuls of baked cheetos, and 2 bites of a cookie...is that binging or what? My band has no restriction. I am going in again on the 28th, but that will be my 3rd fill since my surgery feb.20th. it is so hard not feeling restriction when everybody on here seems to feel it! O'well..we will see what the scale says on Wed...

Today's plan accomplishment:

I will follow my Nutrisystem meal plans. (OK way off track for me today. I plan on being off track this whole week. Friends in visiting for the week and going out to eat alot. So I expect to not lose any this week either. Go ahead and just shoot me now.)

I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week. (Too sore today from doing the Marathon on Sunday.)

I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.)

I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. (Got in about 64oz so far. Can we say I live in the bathroom now. LOL!!)

Positive reinforcement mantras:

I will continue to eat healthy and hope to lose weight.

I will continue to exercise and hope to lose weight.

I will continue to be proud of myself with all the accomplishments to date.

Finally got to walk again! Yes, it felt good. My husband has been getting home too late for me to go to the track, so I haven't been going. Walked 2 miles last night and the weather was perfect here in Texas for it!

My size 18 (yes 18 jeans) are SO comfy. Thought I wouldn't be able to breathe in them, but I like them. I want to go out and buy tons of clothes, but then I will be down in a 16 and what good will a bunch of 18's do?

Keep up the great work people!

Hi Guys -

Just needed to go ahead and weigh in today because I'm heading out for the rest of the week and am not sure I'll be able to check in tomorrow...

I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.)

I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. (Got in about 64oz so far plus two glasses of WINE. Can we say I live in the bathroom now. LOL!!)
