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"!

Apparently the moderators and owner of LBT are in discussions about taking away our Edit and Delete functions. For now, you can only Edit your posts for 24 hours after it is posted. After that, no more Editing. So that means I cannot make this week's updates on the original pages. So, I have decide to just repost the pages below. If and when we get the Edit function back, I will move these to the original pages and ask the moderators to delete these two posts, as they will be redundant.

There are a couple of threads discussing this matter. Please feel free to hop onto them and add your two cents.

Updates to the Members List are on the main page now (page 1 of this thread) so I'm deleting this post to save room.

As I was adding new members to the list, I realized the phenominal amount of weight that Kimmcneely and Anillacookie have lost prior to joining the Club. I'd like to congratulate you both on your successes. Kim, you are only a few pounds away from your goal weight! Have you posted any of your before and after pictures yet? I'd love to see them!

what i must do so i can join the club? :(

Pink Mary, all you'll need to post is:

1: Highest Weight

2: Surgery Weight

3: Joining Weight

4: Goal Weight

5: Current Weight

When you post it looks something like this:

H 298/ S 264/ J 251/ G 140/ C 245
