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"!

Tellymelly - I haven't seen a delete option since they took away the Edit button. *shrugs* No idea why not. We were told we could delete our own posts. Anyway, I noticed you apologized to the group for whining and I believe that's why you want to delete the other posts. I for one didn't see your posts as whining at all. It IS hard to drink a lot of Water. I think the others, including myself, were just joining in the conversation. Please don't feel like you did something wrong. It was a good point to bring up, and I'm sure you're not alone in the water struggle. But! If you do end up wearing a diaper... no pictures please. *winks*

I have a diaper and there will be pictures. Watch the posts....

LOL, I'm just kidding, but knowing me, I'd do that for sure, all for the sake of fun. You guys just have no idea.:grouphug:

Actually, I wanted to delete my posts b/c I contribute soo much babble, I don't want there to be soo many pages of my stuff in here....as this is my new hangout area. I just know me and I wanted to get rid of some posts but darn, they got rid of the delete button b/c I don't see it anywhere.

And now, I will stop posting further....

Tricia, I don't see it. I looked everywhere.

This is what it says about all that I can do:

You may post new threads

You may post replies

You may post attachments

You may edit your posts

You know what, I don't see that option anymore either. Sorry!

I WANT THE DELETE BUTTON BACK!! PLEASE!!

Moderators can you hear us?!?!

Telly, you joined a group that's probably 30% babblers! The other 79% are the silent type. Without us babblers, we'd have a dull thread! So don't you dare stop posting! This is your home/club too. : )

And if you post a pic of you in a diaper, I swear I'll put it out on Hot or Not! LOL!!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, you got me all crying from laughter. I swear ...you better not double dare me Pnut. Please don't do it!

Ok, I have now (for the first day since banding) drank 34 oz of Water. I know, I know - that's horrible... I just hate water. Can I please get a 1/2 point for 1/2 the water??? LOL Kidding.

On the food thing. I will NEVER score 3 pts for food. I drown my food in sauces of various kinds... (salad dressing, gravy, wasabe sauce, bbq sauce, peanut sauce, etc., etc., etc.) Now I don't eat much, but I'm too big of a chicken to try any kind of meat with no sauce... I tried it once with Salmon and will not do it again. It was a bad experience. 99% of the sauces I eat will have some kind of sugar or flour in them. Therefore, I will exercise and TRY to drink my water, but I doubt I'll ever get the food points. :-(

Diane - get your rear in gear woman! Look at all the weight you've lost and you look so awesome! I know!... Try sticking the Peanut Butter Captain Crunch to your thighs and then look at it. If you decide it looks nice and want to keep it there, then you can eat it :-). LOL

Went to the kitchen, took out the Captian Crunch, placed them on my thighs & well......the little round balls don't look so good there. Thanks for the visual Kim!! I AM DONE WITH CAPTAIN CRUNCH!! :grouphug:

SOrry.. life got in the way of this.. so I've dropped out :think

Oh boy! What to do, what to do...

Is that even legal on here?

Ok everyone. Don't forget to delete one space after you type in your number. Otherwise the lines will get too long and wrap around, messing up the format of your cards.

Type number, delete once, hightlight and click in the underline button if you want your number to appear as if its sitting on the line.

SKBishop....pssst pssst....only 1 point per day for Water (not 3) even if you WILL wear a diaper (like tellymelly) just an FYI

I laughed till I cried tonite reading the posts - you are all hysterical -- especially because I DO need a diaper - I have never peed so much in the last two days from all the water! and I thought I was drinking alot of water before this!!!

LMAO, Mo...

Me too...soo much Water...so little time. I swear I hear voices beckoning me to the toilet.

Oh MO...the toilet has a name too..

Here are my pet names:

My scale: "Diablo "

has double meaning

1. Diablo means devil in Spanish

2. Diablo also means, "Oh wow, dayuuum!"

My tape measure: "Main Squeeze"

My toilet: "Hello Moto"

Lmao
