Hey y'all. Here is our home for this month. And since we will not be having the challenge this month (so that we can all take a breather) weigh ins are still on wednesdays, and we will have weight loss totals on the front page here, and of course the awesome support that we have all grown to love and enjoy.

If you are new to us...here is a little bit of what the Gone For Good club means, in the words of our illustrious club manager, PhotoNut. I feel they sum everything up quite nicely. Also, the list below, and the Gone For Good Honors Post will be updated every thursday, the day after weigh in day. The list below will be updated with the totals from Jule as soon as they are all in.

Congratz on joining. We do better with you here!! And remember that once it is gone, it is Gone for Good!!

________________________________________________________________

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"!

TOTAL GROUP LOSS PRIOR TO JOINING CLUB: 3,655.1 pounds (over 1 1/2 tons!)

I am having just the worst time with LBT tonight. It keeps kicking me out! Congrats to all the loosers on here...wish I was one of them this week. I don' t get a visit from Aunt Flo anymore (yea) but I think I still cycle. I had a terrible week, had a fight with Hershey's and lost!!! I did join a gym this week tho and have gone 2 times already. I cycled there too, but I think maybe that it was more productive. I plan on going back tomorrow and I am getting my first fill tomorrow. I sooo hope that will help with my fights with Hershey... maybe I'll start to win that one too. At least once in a while!!

stats

H 304; C 274; -30 total +4 this week

feeling better today with my weight c-183

Amy, forgot to tell you, down -5 pounds this week.

Sherri

Mistjin, Way to go on joining a gym!!! You will find that with increased workouts and staying away from the evil chocolate that your body really starts to crave it less and less. There has been ice cream sitting in my freezer forever now, and honestly, I do not even like the looks of it. Pnut once told me that her tastes have changed since she has been losing. I think the same is happening to me.

Tess, congratz on the loss! So glad you are happy with it and feeling better. :grouphug:

Sherri, I think that is a really nice gesture. One thing I would say though is that some have just taken a break from LBT and are not checking in because the challenge is not going on. I would not want anyone to feel left out because of that. Lets wait for the challenge, and you sticky that money somewhere where you can see it to remind yourself for your weight loss. And GREAT job on that 5 pounds! That preop diet is working girl!!! Surgery is getting close! I can't wait to meet you in Mexico!

I have not lost anything. I am still at 189, but I haven't gained either. I have cut down on the carbs and have started going back to the gym this week. I feel good about next week. I am hoping that my changes will show on the scale and in my clothing.

C 272 (+4 lbs. emmereffer)

Honeymoon's over

I think its finally getting to the point where I have to stop/slow on weighing.

My stats are the same

Currently 275

Ok stats are updated as of now. If you posted before this please take a look back on the first page and see your name there. If there is someone I missed, or if there is a correction to be made, please let me know ASAP.

Lot of maintainers today. And some gainers. I am sorry to you all for the frustration you are feeling. I know how it feels. We all do. So lets pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get back on the wagon. Lets make next week a killer one!! Tons of Water, work out till you just can't move no more, and stay away from that sugar!!! We can do this! Or I will tell Pnut he needs to get dawg in here and he'll start whackin people with fish.

:banana:cheer2::banana:cheer2:Go GFG Club!!!:cheer2::banana:cheer2::banana

How do I join?

Easy! Just give us your stats, tell us a little about yourself, and commit to yourself that you will try to drink as much water as possible, workout as often as possible, and eat no sugar. And above all else, that you will be true to yourself and your weight loss journey. I will get you added to the boards, and we will be really happy to have you aboard!!

:welcomeB:

* SBaker *

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

I would like to welcome you in now SBaker since I am leaving tomorrow. I hope that you get from the Gone For Good club everything that we have. Support, guidance, and a swift kick in the butt when needed. It is really a great group, and we have totalled some amazing weight loss together!!

I have made a decision. I am not going to be here tomorrow. this was tough, but I have to push away officially tonight because of all the stuff i need to get done. My husband, bless his heart, tried to help. He cleaned the house, did a great job, but then did all the laundry, and made dinner. Problem is he left a ton of dishes in the sink and a messy kitchen, and didn't fold any of the laundry. He tried, but now I mus clean up his cleaning up. I also still have not packed, and i have to go out tomorrow and stop the mail, buy a carryon, get cash out of the bank and into travellers checks, and make sure that everything is in order. We plan on getting to the airport at about 2pm, but now i am thinking i want to be there at 1:30. Our flight leaves at 4:40. Which means boarding at 4, and the lines for security are always insane at Tampa. Sucky.

I really hope that you guys understand. I will be on and off tonight, but tomorrow i am officially off. Any weigh ins that come in tomorrow will have to be added to next week. But please post them so everyone can see.

Pray for me, my surgery is on the 10th. I will be thinking of you all, knowing that you all did this, and I can too. Mysherrijo and i are getting banded the same day, by the same doc, so pray for her too. It will be good to have a GFG'er there at the guest house!

I love you all. I will be keeping in contact with pnut, via cell phone, and you will all be updated.

Bye! :wave:

FunnyDunnies, good luck Monday. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

I joined the exercise challenge, since I hadn't been exercising with the Gone for Good Club the past two months. It is kicking up my weight loss.

I lost 2 lbs in the past week.:clap2:

Just checking in. I am down to 219. I think it's time for me for a fill.

I'm going to join once I get my scale.
