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"!

Funny I am far from perfect. But I'll take beautiful any day.

I slipped in my bathroom last night and busted my ass. Knocked my head on the tiled out jacuzzi tub and slammed my toes into the wall, my elbow feels broken and my other shoulder has a huge bruise on it. Other than that, I'm doing pretty sweet, lol. Headed out for a bike ride now. Later folks.

Hey NB, the challenge is just for fun and GFG Members can join in or just stick to the regular weekly weigh ins. Its up to each person to decide how involved they want to be. We just like to hear from ya now and then so we can cheer you on and give you hugs.

I've PM'd the instructions to Mychevygirl for her badge. Hopefully it will be in her siggy soon! She blew me away with her dedication to her weight loss. She completed her pre-op diet, got her band, losing 24 pounds during the challenge all while her father was in and out of the hospital in critical condition - SEVERAL TIMES! I'm so inspired by this woman, I just can't begin to tell you. In my eyes, she IS what true femanine strength is all about. Love ya DeAnn! Congrats my friend!
