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"!

OMG Tricia, just saw your pics when I was updating my card.Girl you are looking HOT! I love the tan! I'm so jealous!

Ok, I just added swimsuit pics on my card (middle page 2). I'm glad I took pics because I was planning to wear this suit to South Padre Island next weekend and now I realize how BAD it looks.

PLEASE someone help suggest a type of suit that would look better. I am really small busted so I just look like a big fat rectangle with fat arms and gross back fat.

Thanks. Kristin

WAY TO GO! HEATHERGURL....skinny jeans always kick butt......

CONGRATULATIONS...Mychevygirl...

well maybe if I feel the strength...im going to post my "challange card" and put my photo....I hate seeing my self in a bathing suit...

Kristin: I like the tankinis....I actually bought several this year but havent gotten a chance to wear them yet....

look for my pictures to be posted soon.....

Alright, here are my side by sides. you can't notice much difference yet, however the clothes i was wearing the day of surgery were pretty baggy. However, you can see my face is a bit thinner and my thighs are looking a bit better. Plus it's only like 10lbs. but hey..every little bit helps!

i wish all the best, i guess this really work

the cheeks seem smaller. great pics!! it will be interesting to see what a perfect scorecard will do to your pics

And....just for fun....teeheee...this was when i was around 100 kilos, you can see my muffin top is smaller....but some on elses is getting bigger.....:guess *looks over at hubby*

the cheeks seem smaller. great pics!! it will be interesting to see what a perfect scorecard will do to your pics

I suck :nervous there is no way im getting a perfect score card this month with the extra hours im working...this month is a warm up..next month when im back to normal hours i'm gonna really be pushing myself then....

now that is an excuse!! why don't you think you are going to have a perfect scorecard? hours do not dictate any of the things on the scorecard. KAT. I am gonna start hounding you on this.

OK, after much persuading by certain folks...you know who you are, I would love to join the club! (I was going to anyway:nervous ).

I was banded on 20th March here in Athens Greece where I live. My stats are as follows: H375lbs S375lbs J329lbs and current 329lbs.

Yay! Ali joined!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I'll get ya added to the Members Page.

Welcome welcome!!

Hey Ronny, you're right. This DOES work! Are you considering getting the band?

And JoyceGA, welcome back! I've updated your stats. You're under 400 AND on the Honors Page at -52 pounds. Congrats lady!

Welcome to the club Ali!

Yeah, I smile alot

As for the excuse...well i can make the water and the food things pretty much every day but its the exercise that kills me. I'm going to work at 8am, and then home around 2:00pm for lunch and then to school by 4pm until 10pm to teach...my lunch hour isnt enough time because i have to cook lunch and then eat, and when i get home at 10:00 I'm beat. And I tried getting up earlier in the morning to do it, but I just can't I'm just to tired.

are you walking during any of this? and honestly...if heather and I can drag our asses out of bed that early in the morning, and still not get to bed till 12 or 1 you can too excuses don't work here. find a way to get in 30 minutes during the day, or you hve to get up in the morning and do it. even just a 30 minute walk works. but you will have a perfect scorecard this month.
