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"!

Hey Lins12, I'm alive and well. Ty, I'm glad you joined GFG, things are so much more fun with you here too. You have a zany personality. love it!

Tricia - good luck with the move! You'll be missed while you're gone.

Lins - I got my man from Egland. E-Mail order hubby. *snickers*

I need to take a pic of my sexy hubby this weekend. WE are going on Saturday night... so I feel a shopping trip coming on!

lins - sorry - I stole one from Texas 6 years ago lol and brought him back to Illinois for good! via E-Buy lol

Thank you Pnut, I know its close....just seems like its taking forever to get there.

Telly that sounds awesome...we are moving, just found out yesterday, yay! Not! But it will be a much bigger place, with actual gyms, woohoo, I will be kicking some butt this summer. I dont think they have a Gold's though, I wish.

I stole my man from Texas too, lol....he was also an email buy, lol!

Ok, so I bought this little black dress for a cousins wedding this weekend...I'm nervous, no sleaves, and its a dress! I only where skirts usually, try covering the tummy with a shirt. But hey, I'm going all out and wearing this dress, my man tells me I look sexy in it, so who cares what others think. Maybe I'll be posting pics after the weekend....unless the arms look horrible, hehe, I didn't get as much of a tan as I wanted!

Have a good weekend everyone!

You guys took all the men outta Texas!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I can't find one.

I found mine in Florida...and ebuy for me as well. But he dragged me back down here. He is hot though, isn't he? :eek:

Telly - Good info. there is a golds right here. Those prices are way better than the lifestyle fitness I joined. I will check it out.

Tricia - Have a safe trip!!! Be good and we will see you when you get back!!

Heather - (and everyone else) post your man's pics!! Its always cool to see what everyone married

Lianna - Yeah, he is a light redhead. And out two kids are redheads. Lets just say our neighbors have complained to us because we all yell a lot LOL We are a stubborn family and live life at full volume.

My mother is here. I already have tense musles in my back LOL

So funny story. I go to the lab today to get my blood done for my PS in mexico. I have my doc's orders from MX and all of the necessary paperwork. I go in. Give the girl the stuff. There are only two of them there at that moment and 3 people ahead of me. I sit down and wait. an hour later the people ahead of me are done, and I am patiently waiting. Others have come in after me and I know that they have not even been talked to yet because they are still working on my stuff. I am called to the desk many times to answer questions, and everyone there knows that I am the one holding things up. i apologize a lot, but I still get tons of dirty looks. So at one point I go to the desk and am answering more questions. This old woman comes to the desk with her paperwork and states very loudly "I am sick and fucking tired of waiting here because you both are not competent enough to fill out the paperwork for someone who needs to go to Mexico to have her ass lifted." She tosses the paperwork across the table at the woman behind it and leaves. Leaves her husband there by the way, who sat there very confused for quite a few moments. Then another woman comes up and says "I can't wait either. this is just stupid" And walks out. I look over the only other woman there, the last one to come in, and she just starts laughing and says "Well my wait just got shorter!!"

If those people had waited they would have both been seen in another 10 minutes. And they were pissed at me!! Like I woke up this morning and said I think I am gonna go piss some people off at the lab today! I swear.

Ok, ok...I couldn't pass up the picture request. My husband found me online. :biggrin1:
