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"!

For all you new folks, here's the format for reporting (this is mine):

C 231.5 (-75.5 lbs, -2.5 this week)

(you can copy this portion of your stats from the members page and then just make the changes for this week in your weigh-in post)

Holy Cow!!!

Tricia... almost in the 180's and Susan almost in the 220's!!! Look at you girls go!

SO JEALOUS

C 264.5 (-14, -2.5 this week)

Wow - what a challenge!!! I see it is working for everyone who is working on it!

Way to Go everyone!!! TriciaK - you are melting so fast you'll just about disappear - congrats!!!

Ali - woo hoo 9 lbs!!! and pfunkem holy cow 8 lbs!!! :dance:

It's exciting to see our challenge working!!! :clap2:

And yes Heather - I know exactly what you mean - thrilled to be near 260 myself!

Funny -- glad you smiled about FUPAs :biggrin1:

Thanks, guys!

Everyone is doing a fantastic job. I love these challenges!

C 335 (-37 lbs, -3 this week) :faint: :heh: :faint: :scared: :heh: :faint: :heh:

I can't believe I maintained and lost more!! I thought for sure i was going to gain back some of what I lost when I was sick. I have been working out so hard though. And I am being so strict about my diet. And I am in the middle of my period too! :sick So I might lose even more by this weekend!!

Congratz to everyone!!!! We are all doing so well! I would venture to say we are the most successful group on the board LOL That is mean. Ok. I won't say.

FUPAs for everyone!! :omg: :clap2: :omg: :clap2: :omg: :clap2:

LOL Funny - "FUPAs for everyone" -- congrats on -3 lbs! And 37 BEFORE the band -- awesome!!! :clap2: And surgery is soon -- Don't let it get you nervous -- it will be done before you know it!!!

Don't let it get you nervous

one thing to know about me. I overreact to EVERYTHING!!! I am super emotional, so I am super nervous. but i am used to it, and i know that it is over the top so i try not to pay attention to it. It is its own being LOL

223 (-75 total, -1 this week)

I'm hoping that the small loss this week is due to the IV fluids they pumped into me because I was actually down 4 lb before going to the ER. But I'm not going to complain because I'm pain-free!! YAH!

Nice Job FunnyDuddies!!! Keeping off "sick" weight is hard, but to add a 3 lb loss on top of that is awesome!!

Kristin

This challenge is the perfect way to keep me on track and keep making good habits (they're so easy to fall out of!)

But yeah, I was super-psyched this morning to see a new decade! 279.8 - I rounded it to 280 - But I am SOOOOOO psyched to be in the 270s. I was considering setting up some mini-goals for myself, but to be honest, each new decade is a mini-goal met!

C 191 ( - 49 total, - 3 this week)

C 294.3 (-86 lbs total, -4 this week)

Things are going well! I am feeling great and have spent the last few days out in my yard. Hope all have a great week. Congrats to the all the LBT losers:clap2:

Wooohoo, 1 more pound and I'm officially a -50lb loser. 2 more pounds and I'm in the 180's!!! I'm exhausted tho, but it's feeling pretty sweet.

I had 2 oz of scrambled eggs with smoked turkey meat, onions, little bit of low fat cheese and omG. Food tastes soo amazing now.

Biked 18 miles this morning and after work gonna do 4 miles on the treadmill. I'm energized.:clap2:

I don't know if this is where I join or not but if not please excuse me being so dumb. LOL I need to join somewhere where I'm not getting all of this negative energy about going to Monterrey for my surgery.

I'm like everyone else, if I had 27,000.00 I would have it done here but I don't so I'm going to Dr. Sanchez and everytime I say that people on the reg. thread start having a cow, not all but some.

Really need everyone's support, just doing what I think is right.

Hope to make a lot of friends here. I've been on these boards for quiet a while asking questions and thank everyone for they're help. You've been great, (most).

Hope to be banded on July21st, one day before my 42nd birthday. YEAH

Sherri welcome to Gone for Good!!!

I am glad you came over. I know you will find the support and the positive energy you are seeking here. After all....we are the Sunshine Sisters!! LOL

Sherri, we are doing a weight loss challenge and if you would like to join the challenege you can. It is not required to be part of the GFG club, but it is really good for keeping yourself in line and making some serious strides in your weight loss. If you go to the first page of this thread you can read where Photonut has explained how to do the challenege. MyChevyGirl won last month and has a kick ass medal to show for it. I am gonna try to win this month LOL But above anything else, I jsut want a perfect scorecard, because it means I did everything right!!!

TELLY!!!! HUGS!!!!!! I missed you! I am glad to hear you are so pumped!! Congratz on the loss, and the enjoyment of food that sounds so yummy my mouth is watering now. LOL Energized huh? I need a little bit of that!!!
