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"!

:sick i should be starting my period any day now. i have been waiting patiently. its driving me nuts!! And i really hope it will actually wait until tuesday because i don't want to be bloated and nasty and crabby at the party this weekend.:phanvan

Heather - that's awesome about your Junior High jeans. I bet you'll get into them very, very soon.

Telly - again, I hope you feel better soon.

I just wanted you all ot know how adorable you are all! I have read every last one of your posts and they make me laugh and give inspiration. I wish I had not been so busy in April because I would have loved to be a part of it! Congrats to all of you! You are all STARS!

Maybe a summer challenge?

Lins - A summer challenge.. Hmm.. I think that can be arranged. *smiles*

Thanks for the compliments. This really is a great bunch of losers we have in the Gone for Good Club.

Shackdog - You are doing so GREAT! Be sure to let us know if you get a fill, and say hello to Dr. Cahn for me. :eek:

Telly - congrats on the 199! That's a HUGE thing to celebrate! Good job!

P'nut - you'll be happy to know I went for that "slight" unfill today. Much needed and I hope it will help. Been yacking all over the place for 3 days now. TMI, I know.

do we get ONE week between challenges please? lol

Ok, so I'm in Texas....hope everyone is doing great! I'm hoping for a loss tomorrow, but I don't know if it will come. If it doesn't I'm going to blame it on my scale and how much traveling it has done recently, hahaha. I miss you all! **Hugs**

do we get ONE week between challenges please? lol

no rest for the wicked MO!!! MWAHAHAHAHA

joking. i think a week between might be good, as long as your points are high enough to take that break. >:eek:

Man....this fake sweetener is making me sooooo gassy. DH actually left the room to go outside today. Its not like I smell. I am just a little loud at the moment. LOL Ok TMI. I'll leave now. hehehehe

I'd be priviledged to join GFG but would like to wait till the next challenge. Everyone is soo wonderful on this thread. Thank god, now back to something of substanance!

Trips to onederland, junior high jeans, 70 lb loss, apron surgery, exercise nuts and a summer challenge? Jeeze y'all are getting healthy & skinny on me! hehe!

I'm so proud of everyone!

C 190 (-39 total, -2 this week)

The scale FINALLY budged again after a 2 week stall. I've really tried to track my calories and get a grip. I resorted to measuring my food all day yesterday, I think I need a tweak on my fill....but it will have to wait until school is out, which for me is June 2. I was able to eat a whole 8oz Salisbury steak patty last night! I ate a small bite at a time until I got that little sigh and burp, and it happened with ONE bite left of the whole darn thing....so my food weight experiments confirm need for fill. I guess I will be going hungry or losing slowly until then.

My good news for the week...!!!....I bought denim and black capris, a black skirt, and another swimsuit and there isnt a W by any of the sizes! Just solid size 16 misses!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

The best me - H 242/ S 223/ J 188/ C 181.4 (-60.6 lbs total)

Did I enter a new category? I can't believe I see movement this week. 181.4 is not a new low, but it is for weigh-in Wednesdays! Yay! Yo yo, here we go!

Lianna that is AWESOME!!! Clothes are so much prettier without that ugly 'W'. LOL

TheBestMe I am glad you are finally seeing movement. It empowers you to make it happen more!! And your new av is very pretty!!

As for me...

H 372/ J 340/ G 120/ C 350 (-22 lbs total, -8 this week, waiting to be banded)

yes...8 pounds. can I get an AMEN? I have been working out a lot!! and am on this liquid diet that is mostly Isopure. LOL I am getting in approx 900-1100 cals a day and working out for at least 2 hours a day now. no heavy lifting, just cardio cardio cardio. and it is working!!! Maybe by tomorrow i will be below 350 again!!

It's weigh-in day! All those participating get your updates in today and I'll update the board tomorrow. The following is the correct update format (and, as usual, is my update for the week)

C 236 (-71 lbs total, -1.5 this week)

I've switched back to weighing in on Wednesdays again. I just couldnt stand weighing on Sunday and posting that weight the following Wednesday.. just knowing that I might have lost more! *laughs*

It's so exciting to see everyone's NSVs and Kathy! Your scales finally budged? Yay! I know you have to be seeing the changes in your clothes and body. With all the exercise you're doing and no weight change you must be putting on some nice lean muscle and THAT is awesome!

Funny!! EIGHT POUNDS?! AMEN SISTER! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
