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"!

oh trust me..fat can be funny. and telly, i'll be right out. Pnut, hold my shoes, earrings, and hair. i gotta go take care of somethin here. LOL

are we all getting our water this morning? i feel like a pufferfish! If I jump up and down you can hear my belly sloshing around with all the water.

I can hear it now.

"How much weight have you lost, Amy?"

"Five gallons this week!"

LOL FunnyDuddies. I'm getting close to feeling like I have an aquarium in my tummy from all the water. Of course yesterday, I had to cram it in after I got done with my final at 3:00 because I didn't want to keep running to the bathroom while I was trying to take a Contracts test!

:eek: Kristin

Kristin, you must be feeling so good about your life right now. Every day you look better and better (your pics on the before and after thread were awesome!), you have to be feeling younger and healthier, and you're working to achieve your career goals. Good for you, girl!

How are the finals coming along?

Ahh..they're coming along! I have 3 left! Then I'm going to spend a week at the gym. I'm determined to reach OneDerland by the time school starts in August. Thanks so much for the compliments, they mean the world to me.

:eek: Kristin

you can reach onederland!! I know you can! I think it is great that you are going to go balls to the wall in the gym. just remember to spend most time doing aerobic, and not a ton of lifting. you will want to do some toning, but you will gain weight if you just do nothing but weight training. and when you do the toning, try to do core and leg strengthening. muscle burns fat, and your legs and core are where the biggest muscles are located.

Kristin is gonna come back to school smokin hot!! LOL No one will recognize you!!

I have a reunion with a group of friends that is being planned. it won't be till October, but i have this new found urgency to lose as much as possible between now and then. I want to be hot again, and really blow them all away!! LOL i know it is only 6 months, but a lot can be lost in 6 months, and a 350 pound person...hmmm. excuse me, a 347 pound person as of this morning, can look dramatically different in 6 months! woohoo!!!

Ok, No cheating this weekend people. Get on your treadmills or hit the pavement. We have to show by Wednesday what were made of. (75% water, lol)

I want to surprise myself. How far can I really push my bike this weekend with my cell phone on the hip (just in case I need an air evac). I plan on hitting 210lbs by this weekend. I'm going to hit that mark!

H2.... oh. :eek:

I haven't cheated but man have I been a slacker. I miss my walking partner. Um.. treadmill. Didn't we buy one of those not long ago? Ohh... that big black thing on the other side of the room! Yeah.. wonder if it still works? :eek:

Hey, I see Kathy (the best me) in the thread. *waves* Hiya Kathy! You haven't done your scorecard in a while. I hope that's what you're doing. I've noticed that life had you by the wrist and is dragging you all around. I hope you get free to take a break and catch your breath soon. *hugs*

The results of my physical yesterday:

I'm not dead yet.

I want to be 345 by wednesday. i think i can do it, plus some. that is my mini goal for this week. and Water water water will do that. i am bad today. after about 90oz i stopped. so i just got another bottle out of the fridge and am downing that.

telly, when we get small enough we should go get some cheerleader outfits and be the GFG cheer squad. hmmm...maybe we shouldn't wait. that will be motivation for you guys! to see us squeezed into cheer outfits! LOL

:cheer2: go dawg! way to live!

Lmao @ Funny! ERrrrrrmm. Trust me when I tell you that you DO NOT want to see me in a mini at this present time.

I'm game though. I'll go buy one right now and hang it in the closet. I'll give myself August to get into it.

Anyone watch that show, "The Biggest Loser"?? I saw it once. How fast were they losing weight and for how many months? Was it a 3 month challenge or am I thinking of Celebrity Fit Club?

Good news Dawg! !:eek:
