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"!

Well the message at the top of the board tells me I should get more involved LOL

I was banded in May 2005 and have been fairly conservative with fills. So far I've lost 60lbs and I'm thrilled. I'm in the process of moving from Kansas City to Utah.. we've got our stuff moved to storage and we are living with family.. now we just have to get our house sold.

(I hope I did that right...)

:bounce::welcomeB: :bounce:

to the club ScrapKarla!

You did it just right and you're now on the member's list.

Grats on your wonderful weight loss and good luck with the move!

I see Tricia K in the thread tonight. Hiya Tricia! *waves hello*

Hi P'Nut! :biggrin1:

c 185.6

...I can post my weight again Wed??

Hey Paula.. I'm just teasing ya. If you want to put up your weight you can, or you can just wait until Wednesday. Every Wednesday I update everyone's stats. If you want your Highest, Surgery, Goal weights up by your name, let me know what they are.

I will let you know my weight tomorrow for the April issue of GFG club

Heyas Penni. Everyone usually reports on Wednesdays. Prior to this club, Dawg and I were weighing on Sundays and I really liked that. We switched to Wednesdays because the club started on a Wednesday (I believe) but I'm an odd duck - it seems like far too long to wait (Wed to Wed) so I've gone back to Sundays! *laughs*

But even though I weigh on Sundays, I won't report it here until Wednesdays. This week is going to be a small loss for me, since I weighed after only 3 days. Next week should look good though. *crosses fingers*

RHONDAKO and Skye - How are you two doing? How are your hubbies? You are both on my mind so much, and still in my prayers.

LegallyKristin - I've been thinking about you too for some reason. How's the battle with the hunger going?

ShackDog - How's that pre-op diet treating you, buddy?

Pugmum - You asked about a meal plan in the March thread. Have you come up with something that's working for you? If not, tell us more about what you were looking for in the way of suggestions and we'll see what we can come up with to help you. As for me, I have a set variety of foods that I enjoy and am very comfortable with. I know their calories and Proteins, and I know how to choose the right combinations to get what I need for the day. If you'd like, I can email you a copy of my food log. Let me know.

Coyotegirl - Did you happen to see Anywn's thread about the Onderland challenge? If not, check it out.. I think it's perfect for you: http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16775

I hope everyone's having a great week!

Checking in for April. Will post updates on Wed.

Everyone is doing SO good!

Guys! I wore shorts this weekend for the first time in 5 years!!! It must be finally starting to show that I am losing weight, because I got tons of compliments this weekend. It really made me feel good!

Congrats, Gurly, you're the first to reach the 100+ gone for ever!! You are in a class all by yourself, for now!!! You deserve a hand:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :rockon:

OK, I hadnt lost weight since Christmas time before the tuck but thats not included. I had looked at these threads so many times thinking how yucky it would be checking in every week with no loss.

It is just under 6 mths till my wedding and I really need a kick in the butt to get down to what I want to be for it.

I was banded exactly one year ago today(Aussie time) and have lost just on 70lbs, slower than most but I am getting there. I have been big on and off most of my life and have never lost weight before without starving myself or something stupid like that. I have come this far without exercising very much so when I am able I am going to kick in some serious exercise. I am going to try and stay totally focused and get this weight moving again.

Congrats heather on the huge loss, you are an inspiration!!!!

Highest weight - 265lbs

Current weight - 191lbs

70 pounds is GREAT kellie! You are looking so hot! Can't wait to see the wedding pics!!!
