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"!

OK, I was going to keep track of my weight at the gym... but I like my scale at home too much... I do promise to only weigh once a week though. I am concentrating more on getting my body fat percentage down. We are going on a small vacation next weekend and I am packing my walking shoes so I can do some working out. I am also taking my bathing suit! :confused:

You guys keep it up!!! Telly, you make me tired reading all the stuff you do. You are going to be at 190 before you know it!!!!

We are all rocking on!

I got my 30 minutes of walking in today, and only spent $20 at the yard sales. I bought a small tv to put on top of the bookcase by our treadmill. Hey, it was exercise related! *grins*

Telly, hun, just reading your exercise posts wears me out. Can I count that on my daily chart? *chuckles*

Mystjin - Tuesday? That's wonderful! You know, you are fairly close to Dody. She's in Knoxville.

Love ya PNut, have a new respect for you. You trying to save my Warped Butt in another thread..lmao

You have to admit, it was a funny, politically incorrect joke that I shouldn't have shared.

Telly - I knew you weren't trying to insult the handicapped. You were trying to point out the stupidity of fighting on the net. And you're right, it is pointless. You apologized for offending anyone. That should have been the end of it.

It's so easy to let our feelings get hurt and to want to defend ourselves in situations like that. I've come to find that if I just ignore the posts that trigger that in me, I'm better able to find more valuable information in what people have to share - even if it comes from someone whom I've fantasized about ripping their lips off in the past. And trust me, there have been a few. *chuckles*

Thanks PhotoNut for telling me about Dody. I'll have to get in touch with her.

Carol

That would be great Mystjin. I'm sure Dody would LOVE to have a bandster sister nearby to share things with. I just got a PM from her and the plan is for her to be banded on the 5th, which isn't long after you!

Exactly PhotoNut. I have gained a few of those in 2 days time Now, should I rip off lips or just.... keep myself quiet and reserved and be more like you? Showing control at all times. LMAO.. NOT! Im really really bad.

I'm glad you got my point but lesson learned. No more bad jokes. lol!

oh screw it all. tell bad jokes. it sorts out those with a sense of humor and those with a stick jammed up their butts. LOL I am just like you Telly. I actually have a group of friends that are a lot like myself. We were affectionately refered to as "Jerk Central" on another site, till we offended too many people (a few on purpose HA!) and got banned. Oh well. Now we have a board of our own, with no entrance to any outsiders, where we ist around and enjoy each others really warped and dry sense of humor. It helps get all the jerky urges out so i can be normal with others.

Its quite therapeutic! Esp since one of us a is head shrinker.

OK, guys... this is a picture of my new "do". Already 3 weeks old, but I am just now downloading the pics.

This was my daughter's first time to eat spaghetti with no assistance from me. She had a blast!!!

oh wow she looks like she had fun!! LOL My son is like that. He would rather just lower his mouth into a trough and root around lol my daughter on the other hand uses a whole napkin after every bite, and hates getting dirty. she has been that way from the beginning.

speaking of new do's. i am so pissed right now. I went into the salon this weekend to get the blonde highlites in my hair cut out, and to have a shine done on my hair. same color, but just a boost of shine. I came out with dark brown hair. the idiot woman dyed my hair this dark red/brown color cause she thought it would look nice. so now twice a day i am shampooing my hair like crazy to try and wash as much of the dye out as possible.

Heyyyy look at that bright eyed and bushy tailed baby girl. She's sooooo gorgeous and soo happy You did good Heathergurl!

Thanks guys!

Ok, Funny... how was the clubbin' and where are the pics? I want to see your hot shirt!
