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"!

Wow! We have a lot of BIG losers this week! Come on everyone, get your numbers in for the week!

Grats MorOrLess (7pounds!) and Txblue_eyedqt (Yay on the water!)!!

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

:bandit No comment. I plead the fifth on that one.

By all means necessary.

MoOrLess, way to go!! -7 pounds pre-band, I couldn't do that!

C 220 (-83 lbs total, -6 this week)

k i am really trying this gallon and a half every day, but i feel like i am about to float away! LOL but i know i need it. it is amazing, i went a few days just drinking the minimum (64 oz) and i actually noticed the signs of becoming dehydrated, and my feet swelled!! so i am trying to up it again and get over a gallon and a half every day.

Wow, a gallon and a half, that's great. It's a struggle some night to get my whole gallon in.

oh i am struggling lol thank god our refridgerator dispenses chilled filtered water.

Funni, I think I'd literally live in my bathroom if I drank that much. I am struggling to get down a gallon a day... I have been making it but damn, it's inconvenient at times...especially when you are driving or traveling.

Now I have to think about how much I am drinking and where I am planning to go so I can ensure I don't have an accident on the way.

To be honset, I had an accident yesterday:think. Had to run into the gas station b/c the water just suddenly hit me.

:update: ATTENTION :update:

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS goes out to MoOrLess this week for having a PERFECT score card! :clap2:

The runner-up was FunnyDuddies with only 2 days missed on sugars and flour. She scored every day in the other categories.

Great job ladies!

EmileeKaye has a perfect score card too AND she lost 6lbs. Way to go EmileeKaye!

Congrats Mo! I'm soo proud of you.

Congrats Funniduddies! You rock mamicita!

:clap2: Indeed she does! :clap2:

Congrats to you too EmileeKaye!

I'm blown away by the dedication and hard work I'm seeing here.

What an excellent group of losers you are! I'm so proud. *wipes a tear*

Congratulations, MoOrLess & EmileeKaye for perfect scores!

Congrats to Funnyduddies too!

Tricia K I saw you are continuing to go down. ARe you 198 now? Dayum girl! Great job. I love this momentum!

Yes, ma'am. I am at 198 now. Thank you for noticing.

I did see 197 on the scale yesterday but I attribute that to not eating much of anything for 3 days prior.
