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"!

heya all

well i have good news! I feel a LOT better! So much so that I actually got in my Water yesterday. AND I GOT LAID!!! i am counting that as my excersize cause it got my heart rate up, lasted way over 30 minutes, and wore my sick ass out!! LOL This tonsilitis is finally turning. Thank god! I am still in a lot of pain, but not just sitting here crying from it. And I can swallow! I am actually going to eat today!!! I am so excited. I just don't know what to eat. I think I might just do something soft like some redbeans and rice. and maybe some cottage cheese. something like that. But I am not about to gain all the weight back that this illness took from me. If I had to suffer through hell to lose 12 pounds in a week, then dammit i am keeping those 12 poundsoff! LOL

Nut! I saw on the list that you have my current weight incorrect. I am not 350 any longer. I am so proud to say that. Rob actually said that he really noticed it when he hugged me last night. said that he could feel the muscles in my back. Cool! I am gonna take pics tonight and put them with my score card. Tht way I can do a before and after for this month as well.

Good luck all you GFG'ers!! Lets make this a summer to remember!! What you do today will be rewarded tomorrow, and this time next year we are all gonna be sunning ourselves on the beach in little polka dot bikinis!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

Great news, Amy! I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better (and that you got laid)!! :biggrin1:

[withdrawn, but I'll be back next month!]

_________________________________

Heya Julie, I dont have you on the members page yet! I'll do that now. Welcome to the club and you go girl! I'm out for perfection this month as well. I only lost 10 pounds last month. That is NOT happening againt this month.

Oh, and I've added my pics to my scorecard now. And I added some side views of Dawg on the before and after pictures thread. He's changed so much!!

Lins12, I got my eyeball on you. We will do this with full force. Getting 15+lbs off this month!!!!!

Funny, you got laid? Well dayum, can I get some fries with that shake??? lol.

Don't forget people.... put up those pictures so we can see the differences we will make this month and also so that we can see whose ass's we will be kicking.

No butt kicking for me thank you! I am looking to lose AT LEAST 10 lbs in June - hoping for more! I get together with my family and mom from out of state - want to at least look like I've lost weight by 4th of July!

Going for 100% on scorecard the entire month!

so am i. even if you don't pay attention to the weight, a 100% scorecard should have you looking and feeling amazing!!!

I am realistic in that I will probably gain a little of the weight i lost while i was sick, but that if I keep with the scorecard 100% I should show a really good weight loss for this month. July 4th is a big celebration for me cause I am gonna be leaving for Mexico that weekend. So july 4th is my last hoorah before one big change.

Hi, my name is Alysha and I am going to join this June Gone For Good Challenge (Thank you Telly Melly for pointing this out and your encouragement). I will go to gym today and get accurate weight at this moment and also post a *yikes*! bathing suit pic tomorrow for the 'Before' pic. My surgery is June 26th and I started my diet today.

Awww, welcome to the family beautiful lady. You'll do great!

welcome and good luck beachee!! Keep in mind that those of us who have huge signatures, we need to click the box next to Attach Signature to Post. I have a huge sig too and this thread gets REALLY long in a month LOL We tend to bitch a lot. HA! And don't worry about the before and afters. If I can post my body naked, you can post yuorself in a bthing suit

ROFL, FUNNY!!!! You are a brave brave soul, being a nudist on here and all.

Telly, I would DIE if I lost 15 pounds this month. Not going to happen with the food I am eating today. (She says as she puts the almond in her mouth).

In an effort to be VERY accountable-I am posting my food journal on my lbt journal. Feel free to look and be astonished that I have lost any weight AT ALL given how much I am eating right now.(She says as she puts the almond in her mouth).

Alysha WELCOME!!!

Funny, you, and MoOR have SUCH amazing dedication. I KNOW there is no way I could do no sugar or flour. What are you guys eating???? I have to know...(she says as she closes the almond jar and puts it down)

Lindsay

Hey Pnut, check out my poem...

ROFL, lins12 I love you girl! You crack me up! (she says as she smacks the sh$%t outta that last almond Lins12 almost puts in her mouth)

What's wrong with eating almonds?

Are the raw or roasted? You only get you ass kicked if they are roasted, haha, J/K.
