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"!

Thanks again for the cheerleading :cool:

WooHoo! AWESOME JOB TELLY!

This group s the best, everyone is doing some amazing work!!

YEAH Telly!!! You are going to soar past me!!

Hey everyone. Please check to make sure I correctly updated your stats on Page 27. I should have done every one that has checked in to this point updated. P'Nut will copy and paste the new list when she gets back on the first page.

You guys RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE GFG.

I'm late again, but still the same ( 222) current

Jorjet, I have you down a pound from last week!

ok, I'm sorry, I feel like I gained 10 pounds, I have been doing some really crazy emotional eating.....:faint:

ugh talk about emotional eating. I totally binged last night, which is not normal for me. I have a lot of stress right now, I am scared about the surgery, I have tons of work on my plate, and my house is a wreck. The kids had me close to a migraine last night, and I got news from my mom that my grandpa is now checked into his hospice. I spiraled out of control and ate to sooth myself. This is not who I am. This is not how I got fat! Why in the hell did I do this?? I am really depressed today.

:hug: I'm sorry that you're going through such a tough time, Amy. I sincerely hope that it gets better very soon.

Greetings GFG'ers.

Work has been mental and I'm pining for my P'Nut. I did want to check in though and let everyone know all is well :girl_hug:

Oh... and my unofficial weigh in is 274! w00t - 73 pounds gone.

Funny - sorry things are rough on you right now.

Thanks dawg. Congratz on your WL!! You have done so well. You are inspirational. Truely.

Tell pnut i miss her. Its her fault i am depressed. LOL

i am part of the gone for good club but don't seem to be a good club member. I knew when joined would have a hard time at first becaused joined middle of the monthe and then was going on vac. also to mexico. Had a wonderful time did not get liguids in like i thought i would and knew i would do the sweet thing so guess what i gained 3 lbs. Some came off when i got back but and still having trouble making all the goals i need to make. Really having trouble have not lost anything in 2 months and just the time was in Mexico have been working out hard not everyday but at least 4 to 5 days. Walk 3 miles and do the weight thing watch what i eat but guess still not doing everything right. Need to focus more. Just blowing off steam because things not working

Hi all

Telly well done girl....keep on pushing! To everyone else who lost this week, give yourselves a big pat on the back :clap2:

Funny...give yourself a break. Going through lots of things all at the same time pushes everyone. Just don't beat yourself up about it, shrug those shoulders...take a biiiiiiiig siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh and get right back where you want to be!

Jucyc (((((((((hugs))))))))) plateaus like this must be a real pain. I get fed up stuck for a couple of weeks. You sound like you're doing a great job....keep going and it'll come off :girl_hug:

Right, that's me...off to a nice Greek island for a weekend of sun, shopping and swimming. See ya next week!

Funny, please take care fo yourself. I do the SAME thing and have been on a terror lately. Went to see my counselor. Seems like most of it is NOT beating yourself up. This is what we do but unless we take care of ourselves we continue the cycle by beating ourselves up and telling us we are not worth it. We are failures. WE ARE NOT FAILURES!! Take care of yourself. Do soemthing nice for yourself and repeat some positive affirmations!! *****HUGS*****

Lindsay

Amy, I'm so sorry you are so stressed and it means binge eating. I know exactly how you feel. The last week has been so stressful, we are moving back to my hometown, will be living with my mom:help: until we find a house to rent/buy. School and work is uncertain. And just trying to gets things all taken care of here before the actual move. All this means me not being in a great mood and taking it out on my boyfriend, which results into fights and me sitting up at night just eating and eating, ugh!

I AM going to get out of this funk and get back on track, I just keep telling myelf that and know its true. Just wish things would happen faster.

linds and emilee thank you. I did do something nice for myself. I went out and bought a new goal outfit. a little leather club dress. hehehe i will wear it one day. LOL
