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"!

Well it's been an interesting month and few weeks for me. Whatever could go wrong with the cars has and it has cost us a lot of money but it's better than a car note, so we've been dealing.

Anyway, the stress has helped with the weight loss and my last fill too. It's getting very hard for me to access this thread during the day time so I thought I would update my stats tonight. I weighed myself this morning and low and behold I am at an all time low for me. I haven't weighed this much since:rolleyes, I can't even remember. I think I went from 179 to over 250 and never recovered from that point on but I am on my way back.

C=201 (-82lbs to date; -3 this week):clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Welcome Styler!!!

C=320lbs (total - 55lbs and -9lbs this week)

Well, you guys are having a definite effect on me:nervous I have walked every day despite having my tom and not feeling up to par for a couple of days. It's paid off too 'cos I'm 9lbs down this morning...yay:clap2: Dunno where it's gone, am just sooooo glad it has. OK I can't stay and chat, rules is rules and I gotta walk...again!

GOOD JOB!!!! That is fabulous A1!! I love being a part of this group. It keeps me in check.

I am excited for this challenge. It seems to be helping so many people. and hopefully this accountablity thing will get me on the right track as well.

C 248 (-117 lbs total, -2 this week)

YAYYYY!!!! I am one of those gals that wants to lose 10 pounds a week... but I will settle for 2! I filled out my scorecard... I am pretty sure the only thing I did right was posting my weight! :scared: Perfect week for me there! YIPPY!!!

Has anyone heard from legallyKristin????????????SERIOUSLY worried about her guys.... I haven't checked yet to see her last active time... but just wondering.

HAPPY LOSING!!!!

OH, something else for me to chat about.............

Don't you absolutely love getting to that next lower point... such as... 299, 289, 279, 269, and so on... I just got past 249.... and I am DREAMING of 239!!! HECK, don't ask me when the last time I weighed 2-thirty something.... Those mini-goals make my life exciting!

C - 280 (-53 total, -8 this week*)

*yay for my first fill.

C 188 (-41 total, -2 this week)

OMG it is great to see the scales moving down again! I have been stuck bouncing between 192 and 189 for weeks.

I saw where LegallyKristin posted that she had a complete unfill and it was instant relief. She will be unfilled for a few weeks to give it a rest.

Given the fact that I was such a naughty girl this weekend I'll take the .5 pound gain. (puts her tail between her legs and runs...) :faint:

BUT, it could have been worse and I am learning SO much during the challenge because I am trying my darndest to keep a food journal.

AND TODAY IS MY BANDIVERSARY!!!

Next week will be GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT! I feel certain. Thanks to everyone on this thread! XXXOOO

C 184.5 (-38 total, +.5 this week)

Welcome styler! Congrats A1 and Pfunk-big losses=good motivation for the rest of us!!
