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"!

:guessOk so my goal for this month would be to lose the six lbs I found in april.

Can anyone tell me about the boot camp thing? I think I need to join that this month (may):becky:

So, this week I've gotten outside to do some walking and have done 100 crunches everynight! WooHoo! Now what I really need to do is get in more water daily.

Go DAWG! Go DAWG! Go DAWG!!:cheer2:

I can't wait to lose 60... Then I'll be in the "Sixty and Sexy" club! haha

How often do you get your picture taken and just LOVE it? Well, we partied Saturday night and this picture was taken around 3:00AM... and I think I look pretty dang smokin! I can't imagine what I will look like when I get to goal!!!

I am on a plateau right now... but I need to kick some things back into gear... that is my goal this week!

Wait, PinkMary and DianeChef are sisters, for real?

WTG Dawg!

Heathergurl, you look wide awake at 3am! That's better than me...oh no, my age is starting to catch up with me! I cant' party till 3am anymore!!! LOL VERY cute pic!.

Heather you look wonderful and it's 3 AM, what a morning!!!

Great Picture.

Congrats Dawg what a great accomplishment and without the band, I'm loving it!

Wait, PinkMary and DianeChef are sisters, for real?

Kaybug - Grats on your first fill and your weightloss. You're doing great!

Anillacookie - The bootcamp is in a different thread, not connected to the GFG Club. But I would recommend it to anyone. There's a Sarge over there that will kick your arse if you're being a slacker! *laughs* Here's the thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16983

EmileeKaye - 100 crunches? OMG you are super woman! LOL Good for you!

Iziksmom - Sixy and sexy club! *laughs* Loved that!

Heather - Hun, you are just getting prettier and prettier by the day! I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your words - life is great! I'm so happy for you!

PinkMary - I added your super duper weight loss amount to the member's page and given you a place on the Honor's Page. Grats!

Many of you are setting great goals and it's a wonderful time of year to get up, get out, and get moving. Come on everyone, join in the action and let's kick it up a notch!

I was so busy all weekend that I didn't get our May challenge set up. I'll do that today!
