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"!

Dang.......ok, I am in here, lol. I am pretty sure I feel left out because I dont post so often, but that is my fault.

Awww lianna, please don't feel as though you're left out. There is no post amount requirement. You're welcome in this club anytime. :hug:

Yeah, i should prolly get a pedi done, but 199 feels just so far away. WooHoo, spent a couple hours at the gym tonight though, maybe that will help some. We will see what Wednesday brings.

Lookingout - all I need from you to join is your stats for the first page, and for you to tell us a bit about yourself and your journey. And thats it!!

MoOrless, you always bring wisdom to my table That's why I luf ya soo much. You smack me when I get this way. I needed it.

Also, you are doing a great job on your weight loss. You are exercising more now. That's just ....:eek: :clap2:

I will also most likely cancel the fill this Friday. I'm losing again, think maybe because I've kicked my ass here these past few days and it's working.

Well Telly - you are the resident "Ass Kicker" so bending those legs to kick your own butt isn't so hard lol --- you have to just look at the past success and the future possibilities - every week is different - don't I know

Yep - I'm working out as much as my body lets me right now - not phenomenal but I've added 5 minutes and raised the speed...

I live in Tampa Telly!! Do you want to go exercise somewhere together?? I know I could use a big kick in the butt from you....:eek: What do are you going to in Tampa? I will see Dr.Jessee for my 3rd fill on Monday but she is in Largo.

5'7''

One day of behaving really pays off! I dropped from 225.5 down to 222.5 today!

I just walked a mile on the dreadmill and shaved off a minute from yesterday. I'm mixing in a bit of jogging with it now but I have to cheat to do it. I hold myself up on the handrails a bit and bump up the speed from 3.0 to 3.4mph. Jog as long as I can and then back off to 3.0 again. Yup, it gets me sweatin' and that's a good thing right?

Go P'Nut!! GOOD GOD TELLY that is SO amazing....I didn't want to say it BUT I told you so.

I, on the other hand, am beign such a HOG!! I don't even want to weigh tomorrow. It could be SCARY.

This is two weeks without a fill and I know I am up 3 pounds. YIKES!!!

I got GREAT news today. There is a doc in my area doing fills. I already called and made a consultation appt. I am SOOOOO excited. I don't have to drive 1.5 hours there and back for a fill. YIPPEE!!!! I am SOOO SUPER excited to have a doctor in my area. It will probably be another month or so before my fill but if I can just maintain, i.e. STOP gaining I'll be good. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P'Nut - I would have to do the same thing - hold on for dear life! I would be most fearful of losing my footing and falling - something my back wouldn't handle....hey you were sweating - that's proof of a great workout right there! Way to go on dropping those pounds!

No change for me...again :eek: Am stuck and that's that!!!!!

OK had my 3rd fill in my new band. 8cc total and now I have restriction and I joined the gym! hope I can get back on track was up now I'm back down..so no change for me (sorry about not posting weekly lots going on)

C160 (-59 lbs total)

C 244 ( Drumroll please..... -6 this week, -11 total)

Finally a little positive reinforcement!!!

C 276.6(-103.5 lbs total, -1 this week)

I had my second fill last Wednesday. Earlier this week I was down to 273 what the heck is going on.. At least I'm down.. Maybe the increase in work outs I don't know! but I'm down! Hope the same for everyone!
