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 LOST 6 POUNDS!!! I was hoping to get to 350, but now I am below it!! yea!!! I swear, with god and country and all of you LBT'ers, I will never be 350 again! LOL

YAY!!!! FunnyDuddies!!!! That is SO awesome!!! Check out the weight just dropping off of you!!!

You are kicking butt!

ugh

last night was hard too. i had to take belly pics for the platic surgeon who wants to do my apron surgery. i was really down after that. but this morning i am jumping all over the place. i even did an extre 25 minutes in my excersize! LOL

**sigh** One day I'll get some restriction:think

Happy Weigh-In Day Everyone!

Here is the format for reporting. Please feel free to copy it and then edit to put in your numbers:

C 244 (-63 lbs total, -.5 this week)

And please remember not to include your signatures on all posts. It really saves time for folks who have dialup. There is a "show signature" option you can uncheck before clicking on "Submit reply" or "Save changes". Thanks!

PS Thats my sad little amount in the example above. I guess all the walking last week with LindaV put on muscles? Lets hope so!

C 315 (-64 lbs preband, -7 this week)

Banded TOMORROW!!!!

Is midnight our time the latest we can weigh in? I'm just curious b/c I'm about to ride my bike. Please lemme know PNut.

:welcomeB: to the Gone For Good Club!

NJGirl - Better late than never! Welcome to the GFG Club!

Marie485 - I saw you sneak in! Welcome to the Club!

If you two would post a short introduction that would be awesome. We like to hear a little about each new member so we can get to know you.

If you'd like to look over the other member's introductions, you'll find them on the first two months' threads. (we start a new thread each month so the thread doesnt get too long) Have a look on page one of this thread. Under the list of members names, you'll see links for the March and April GFG Club threads.

Also, if you want your stats on the Members page, include them in your posts. Thanks!

Pink Mary - Yup, you update your points in your original scorecard.

PosterChild - Your day is rapidly approaching! Keep us posted ok? Great weightloss this week!

Heather? Good grief, look at you go!! You are rockin' the house!! *hugs*

Kimmers - I've really slowed down the last couple of weeks too. Maybe it's just the natural flow of things? Since we were banded so close together, maybe we are just not hitting the first plateau? Um.. push me off will ya? :grouphug:

Iziksmom - Happy early birthday girl! 36 pounds is awesome! That's a small child! :clap2:

Kristin - Time to move you up on the Honors page! 61 pounds! Grats hun!

Funny - Girlfriend, I am SO stinking proud of you! SIX pounds! *boogies down*

LaSasha - Aww. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be. Maybe it's time to really examine what youre eating. Are you journaling your food? Try tracking calories and proteins just to see where you are, ok?

Mychevygirl - DeAnn, you simply amaze me. 64 pounds preband! Through all kinds of stress with your dad in and out of the hospital too. You are my new hero! I will be thinking of you tomorrow, my friend. I can only imagine how well you are going to do once you are banded. Good lord. I'm thinking record breaker here! *hugs*

Telly - *laughs* You crack me up. Going to put on that sweatsuit and sweat out a coupla more pounds? Yup, late tonight is fine.

I love weigh-in days. It's so awesome to see everyone's successes. Keep up the great work everyone! I'll be checking on the thread throughout the day. Oh, and I've been watching everyone's scorecards too. Everyone's doing SO well! w00t! :clap2:

Hey P'Nut~ You lost 1/2 pound, right? You didn't gain any... and all that walking you are doing is surely building up some muscle. There is nothing measly about that!!!

You know good and well that losing 1/2 pound is 1 millions times better than gaining anything. You are doing great!!!!

*HUGS*

Thanks Heather *sniffles*

I think I just need a good cry. God I'm a mess this week.

Thank you all for holding me up. You're great pals to have around. :grouphug:

C181 (-38 lbs total, -1 this week)

Hey all! I am not doing so well, me thinks! I have done very little but sleep since my surgery, and I have to go back to regular duty tomorrow (all of my help has run out!!! Mom went home last week, and hubby goes back to work tomorrow)

I always get in my Water, but I don't watch what I eat closely enough to say that I haven't been getting sugar and/or white flour. I am pretty much just thinking about the health value of what I'm having and post accordingly - so I guess you can see that I haven't been making good choices lately!!!

Ah, exercise, I sure miss that!!!

Well, time to lay down again - I'e been on here too long!!
