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"!

LOL I woke up sunday and still felt drunk. i told DH he better enjoy nights out like that because i can't get that drunk when i have the band. but my legs still hurt from dancing and dipping that I did. I think I danced for 4 hours straight with only one break to go pee. LOL

heather....where is your sig and av?

heather....where is your sig and av?

I try not to post sig on this thread b/c of all of the pages... and I am trying to do a new avatar. Not too thrilled with my results so far. They always look blurry!

Heather - great pics! I like the new do and your daughter is just adorable. She takes after her Mommy!

Funny - I would be pissed about my hair too. I mean, what gives these people the right to just do what THEY think would look good on you. Unless, of course, you specifically tell them to go ahead and do what they want. I hope the color comes out really soon. Oh, and I can't wait to see those pictures. It sounds as though you had a blast!! Rock on, girly.

Telly, P'Nut & Emilee - *hugs* for all of you!!

Hey Tricia_K,

*Hugs* trying to get back on track. Lost some weight over the weekend but fluctated b/c of the food. Mushies will make things interesting with the scale but nonetheless, I am progressing.

How was your weekend Tricia_K? Has your friend left? Did you have fun? Go Hog wild?

Hi Telly!

Good luck trying to get back on track. I'm doing the same thing.

My weekend went well. My friend was here from the 13th to the 21st so, yes, she has left. I did have fun though. I hadn't seen here in about 7 years so it was nice to catch up. I didn't necessarily go hog wild but I did have 3 shots on Friday night. Buttery nipples - - yummy!! I'm not much of a drinker so I was tipsy, to say the least. I also ate quite a bit of "unhealthy" food this past week. Now that I'm back on track, the scale is moving down again. I'm seeing 199 again, which makes me extremely happy.

I went to the gym this morning again. I haven't sweated that much in years! It felt so nice. I did 20 minutes of cardio and then those weight things I do... Don't ask what they are, but I believe we were at the gym for 45 min-1 hour. I just feel like a million bucks. Still loving the working out even though it is only week 2.

I know Tricia and Telly are working out... what about the rest of you?

Heather I asked about the sig cause i hadn't seen it in another thread. i was worried you were in delete mode. *pokes telly* LOL

Tricia i think we all need to eat bad and drink too much every once in a while. Not a habit mind you, but just enough to get in touch with your whimsical side. LOL

Heathergurl, keep it up hon. Soon, you'll start to feel guilty if you miss a day or two. You'll be obsessing over working out, when, where, what time. It's a good thing!

heather, send me the original picture. i can make an av of your face without it getting fuzzy hopefully.

Nope, definitely not in delete mode... I also have gotten tired of people saying that we shouldn't post our siggy's because it is discouraging to others that aren't losing as quickly... So, I try to make it a point to put siggy in thread where those lurk....

I am not trying to be ugly, but I am not in any kind of race and I love looking at people's sigs. Let's me know about their journey.

I also have gotten tired of people saying that we shouldn't post our siggy's because it is discouraging to others that aren't losing as quickly...

To those people - - Bah Humbug!!

Personally, I don't put my sig in every post because mine is long and takes up a lot of space. I do keep it there when I respond to threads made by new members though.

heather, send me the original picture. i can make an av of your face without it getting fuzzy hopefully.

How can I send you one? I click on the button to email you, but there is no place to attach...

just email me directly at amy@amydavisdigital.com. Attach it and i will send it back when i am done. can't guarantee anything, but i am pretty good with photoshop

I have NEVER heard of people saying that people's siggys are discouraging! That is so sad!! I hate that there are so many downers here when there are so many people that are trying to be happy and excited and positive about this journey.

Ahh Heathergurl, I know what you mean. I'm biting the bullet and practicing quietness and meditation as I come here to read.

Ok here's my sig for ya Heathergurl, don't be afraid to show yours. It's not a race but it is nice to see where people are at and watch them progress. Don't hide it. Say goodbye to the middle number
