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 keep forgetting, so I jsut went back and took them all out. But we want everyone to keep their signatures out of this thread...unless it is pertinent to your post. There is a little check box that you can click, and that way your signature does not show in this thread. The reason behind this idea is too make the thread not become pages and pages and pages long and a long load time. And also to make sure that it is easy to navigate. We all post on this thread multiple times every day. Lets keep the visuals to a minimum for those who have slow connections.

Hey guys just checking in. I was out of town from Friday until today. Girls trip at a resort in San Antonio. It was lots of fun, drink, food, etc. We will see how it comes out on Wednesday. I did get my workout in on Friday and Saturday. I am going to REALLY shoot to have 2 days this week when I can hit the food goal.

I am totally exhausted but looking forward to going to my butt kicking class on tomm am and getting back to journaling my food. GEEZ...that helps SO much. I really realized how much I was eating.

Telly, I'll miss you.

P'Nut-COOLEST PHOTO EVER!

Welcome to all of the new folks.

I am going to try and get a photo done tomm. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!

Back to the drawing board tomm. I will say that even though it does not look GREAT I am doing better than I would without the challenge.

ok, got this months pic of me on my scorecard. this time next month i will be in mexico gettin my apron removed. Maybe get my FUPA worked on a bit. LOL

Pnut, do we want to do the betting pool in this months challenge, since we won't have a lot of time in next month's challenge. If so, start setting it up. I will possibly do another round of pics and we will take our bets. Winner gets something cool from Mexico. Yeehaw!!

Funny, I dont remember... did you want the betting pool to be just within the GFG Club?

This is just the support I need to get kicked into gear. What a great idea.

My name is Granlady my stats are as follows H-350, S-294, J-308, G-185, C-308.

I have not had success with the band. the weight I lsot was on the liquid diet before surgery. I have actually gained weight since the surgery. Reading this thread has motivated me to get on track and try harder. I really need some :help: .

Welcome Granlady! I'm glad you are joining our challenge, it really should help! I was in a slump for awhile but started working harder with the last challenge and I've seen the weight come off.

When did you get the band? Is there anything else about yourself you'd like to tell us, a little more of an introduction?

If it's not too late, I would also like to join the gone for good club.

H & S 291, J 222, G 135

I joined the 3 month challenge a while back and did great. but since then I have been struggling with the same 5 lbs. So I need a big kick in the butt to get me going again.

I am doing great with water, but as for everything else I am slacking.

It has been awhile since I have been to this website, and I have missed it. It is so helpful to me and everyone keeps me motivated.

I will try to get a picture up and I might need some help with the score card.

Thanks

andrea

WELCOME GRANLADY AND STYLER96!!!

It is never too late to join us! We are so glad you are here!

Granlady, how long have you been banded? Maybe share what you have been eating, and your workouts, and we will see if we can help ya!!

We are so glad you are here!

Funny, I dont remember... did you want the betting pool to be just within the GFG Club?

yeah lets keep it to just the GFG. Deadline for the contest will be the 1st of July. I leave for Mexico on the 6th of July. I spend a week there, so the winner can be announced when I return. I think we should put it up to a vote...2 categories or 1. pounds removed is the definite. But we can do inches removed too. What say you all? Also, pounds will be lipo and the skin and fat removed. Pnut, you can grab the pic I posted in the other thread and post it again when we open it up for the official bets.

Goodluck everyone on betting on my fat white ass!! LOL :clap2: :clap2: This will add to my already excited state!

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see some eating/food journal entries from you people that are kicking butt!! PRETTY PLEASE!

Here is my journal. BAD! Must be accountable though so I am showin it in all its glory.

I bought a black halter suit (one piece) from Old Navy that I just LOVE!!! I think a halter suit would do good on you!

Good Luck!

Welcome to the GFG Club, granlady, styler & jucyc!

Thanks HeatherGurl! I kinda thought my post got buried. I've been looking online and the halter suits seem to jump out at me too. I'll head to Old Navy this afternoon!! Thanks sooo much!!
