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"!

I decided this is the week of the UGLIES - moods, that is!

I'm in a foul mood myself....private reasons. The challenge and weight are great - but heaven knows I totally understand everyone's mood.

Cheer up everyone - there IS a new day tomorrow :grouphug:

I hope I don't get in trouble. I was chatting the other night with Mr. PNut and he said Mrs. PNut had an impromptu nap on the sofa. He said his Missy was such a photonut, hence the name. I recommended some shaving cream and a tickle on the nose and a quick snapshot. His reply was something to the effect of....

"Do you think I don't value life anymore?"

Something along those lines. I suppose he knew TOM was around...

He actually told me he'd rip his arm off and do horrible things to himself before he'd be suceptable *spelling* to Mrs. PNuts.......acts of wrath and vengence.

Lmao! Not that harsh......lol!

Lmao! Not that harsh but ..kinda...lol!

Not exactly what I mean't - it wasn't that I was in fear of wrath.

Let me draw this up in an equation for you all:

Loving Wife + Husband playing insane practical joke != happy fulfilled marriage

I'm a sensible man, I would indeed prefer to beat myself to death with the wet end of my freshly self severed arm than wake my stressed wife out of a dead sleep by using a camera and shaving foam.

If you can find a husband willing to do the shaving foam and camera thing, I think it best if you go ahead and put him back in the padded cell before he hurts himself.

I have now filed this under "Duh".

:flame: :whoo:May I have your attention please? (stolen from Tricia) :grouphug:

My big old butt is wearing a size 16 today and I can freaking breathe!!! I am the HAPPIEST woman in the world today!!!! From a size 26/28 to a 16 in 6 months? Now that is success!!! Thank you all so much for your support in this club!! This is my favorite thread!

:whoo: :whoo:

Wow Heather! Great job! I'm so jealous! You've lost a whole person in both weight and clothes sizes! You should be very proud of yourself! Congrats pumpkin!

Wish I knew what happened here... I'm going to have to start food journaling (although I'm 99% sure I'm not exceeding calories). Since I started these new meds I seem to be having bloating issues.... I'll try to get in more water this week. I've weigh every day and I did drop to the 170's this week, but don't get to post it here because I've gone back up! Maybe next week!

Kim 8 - H 235/ S 218/ J 192/ C 180.5 (-54 lbs total, +.5 last week)

:grouphug: Well phooey, no change this week for me. My 40th birthday is tomorrow and I had hoped to have lost 40 lbs. but I'm stuck at 36 lbs.

Heather you are on an awesome journey!! I hope I have that much success for the six month mark!

I got my first fill two weeks ago and I quickly lost 3 lbs. and felt restriction. Now I don't feel any restriction and I didn't lose this past week. I've seen where folks say it may take 2 weeks or so to kick in. I'm hoping thats the case. So.... my report this week is:

C 238.5 (-36 lbs total, -0 this week)

C 237 (-61 total, -2 this week)

:grouphug: Kristin

-2 this week

Thanks guys!

Iziksmom~ You and my daughter have the same birthday! She will be one tomorrow!
