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.

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"!

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).

I could swallow a Big Mac with one bite!

Sounds like my husband. He could sniff a double whopper with no problems.

Heathergurl, when are you planning on having another baby? That's pretty cool.

Current: 212.5 (-0 +0--and grateful it wasn't a gain)

I had an agressive fill that has me revamping my personal "program". Fortunately, I'm back at exercising and gaining some stamina. Evidentally moving is what does it for me.

I had a rule--no fill as long as I was losing 1 pound a week. A mini-vacation convinced me I could get out of control. Still lost 1 pound that week, but went for fill anyway. Lost only 1 pound since then.

I should have recognized the "looseness" was due to my being relaxed and away from the grindstone. In the meatime, since life isn't a constant vacation--I'm blending most solids and watching the "rules" closely. Taking a wait and see attitude on a slight unfill--hoping to loosen up. Guess I'll go back to my old rule--if I lose 1 pound each week, I'll leave the fill alone.

I'm scheduling my first fill right now. I want aggressive.

I am scheduled with dr grossbard through fill centers usa. I am scheduled for the 6th of sept, and I am gettingit done by flouro so that we can be sure of the restriction.

C 191/ CMI 28.2 (-112 lbs total)

I really need a fill. I can eat anything....recently big bowls of rice, a slice or two of pizza....and so many other embarressing things to list. But I thought I'd take this last 30ish pounds off "on my own" and I have liked having the freedom to eat more and some of the foods I haven't been able to eat since banding. But....I really believe I could get to goal in no time if I just went in for that last fill. Some of me is scared of hitting my goal...it has NEVER been so close and I think in my mind I really didn't think it would happen....

So....after the 1st, I may be calling the doc.

I have reached my goal of 180 pounds!

This week wasn't bad but I had gotten down to 169 on Sunday but ever since then have been stuck at 170. Oh well, all in all it was still a good week.

~Liz~

P.S. Way to go on reaching your goal Natural!!! :clap2: You must feel great!

You are picking up momentum and it's because you are working so hard at it. You've been in the gym, working and just more active. I've seen your recent pictures and EmileeKaye you look skinny to me. You've lost alot recently. I have no doubt you will get to goal with or without a fill. I think you've trained your brain the right way.
