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"!

Checking in a day late...but with yesterdays totals...

C-319 No change, no surprise

TriciaK- The man is in loooove with you!!! Have a fun trip.

Tel-way to keep your mind set!

Funny - hot stuff! Woo hoo!

I got my husband in Michigan...but we went to Texas for 2 years with the ARMY. Glad to be in Michigan..nothing wrong with Texas...but I like seasons other than "Hot and Hotter"!

I found out yesterday that artificial insemination only costs $400/pop. If i had known that before I got married...well, let's just say that's cheaper than a husband! :eek: Love my kids...wouldn't trade for anything.

Today I'm trying not to think badly about DH...because it obviously will get me in the end...or eye...or somewhere somethings wrong, I'm certain it's karma realted. And I don't believe in karma...go figure! (And i'm not spelling it wrong, too!)

Now...I'll hush. Thanks for reading!

Funny - You trouble maker you! I didnt know you were getting your ass lifted! LOL!

Tricia - What a handsome couple, and so in love! How is hubby liking the smaller version you?

Trip2BMe - You have me snorting and laughing over here! LOL! In the eye! LOL!

more to the "in the eye" story...if you are bored and want to read.

Last night my car battery died at the self-car wash. Independent person that I am, the last thing I wanted to do was call DH, but decided it would make him feel like a man, so i did. Thought I would push it into the bay and wash anyway, but I had left my windows down before the battery died...go figure.After waiting 45 min for a 10 min drive, i was complaining under my breath...not even thankful that he came out at 11 at night to help.

Then he put the jumper-cables on WRONG. So i got out and fixed them.

After it started, I pulled into the bay and began rinsing (note to the DH's...this is when you say "Honey, you sit in the car. I'll wash it for you) While he sat in his car watching, I grabed the soap brush...only to find it was leaking from the top connection (near the ceiling) and soap was splattering in my eye!!! Ack!!!

Karma...no matter the correct spelling...karma. Ugh.

Well, car's being fixed today...can't wait to get it back...on the other hand, I wouldn't have walked my son to and from play practice with it. Thanks for the exercise, Aztec!

ok, boring...next topic...TriciaK's collar bone!!!

Oh my goodness...now really, I was going to PM this, but I thought you needed to know...I think she has an incredibly sexy collar bone. Man, I hope I can find mine one day!!! So, now you know more than you've ever wanted to...i have a collar bone fettish. One more thing on that note, Tricia...meow!

No one's on tonight...but you're all off having sex. (How many calories for that??) See what the collar bone thing did?? Now I'm talkin' dirty. Good night.

Trip2beme - I would have walked up to his car, said "Oh honey, you are so kind. thank you for finishing the car wash for me." and gotten back into the car. Rob knows not to mess with me when I get like that. :nono: LOL But Rob is one of those guys that refuses to let me lift a finger when things go wrong. Most of the time. LOL I'm sorry your guy had a dense day. They do make up for it in the end most of the time though.

Telly - Lookin good girl!!! I want a bag!! LOL I'm gonna go see Gold's today I think and take the tour.

Pnut - My ass hasn't fallen yet, and it gets a boost every morning from the goose I get from rob. LOL Did I just say that?
