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).

Say, did you get the details all planned out for our dinner on the 16th?? Do I hear Road Trip being sung in your household??

The seed has been planted. The first reply was "that's an awful long way to drive for dinner..." He'd never do such a thing. Why? Makes no sense to him. hehe.

We've got alot going on with his work...he's opening a business with my BIL, got a spec house on the market with an offer but no contract yet. It will pan out. I gotta do what's best for his schedule and the kids are young and I'm the Mommy...yada yada. Still working out the details but he's not fishing that weekend, so that's clear. Dove hunting? We'll have to bargain that one, LOL! He works his ass off so I can stay home. I'll go easy on him and not complicate things too much :huggie:

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. It's been a rough year & 4 months but I wouldn't change one day.

I never thought I would get here but I am here and I am happy. I have gone

from a size 22W in everything; 42DD bra; size 10 panties

to a size 10 in skirts; 12 in suites; 12 in pants; 36C bra; size 6 panties

Thanks GFG Club,:huggie: you all have been an inspiration to me.

S=283 C=180 G=180--Now the hard part, maintenance!!!!

Mysherrijo, you've done superbly to only be almost 2 months out, 40lbs down. Wowzers. I'm happy your husband lost weight with you. It's more supporting in my eyes. Only wish I could say the same thing about my significant other. I think mine gained the weight I lost.

My wife keeps saying that the band was bad for her... she eats everything I don't finish.:heh:

No, my dear, it was up in a bun. I like the librarian look now and again. *wink*

Linda Carter always did that on WonderWoman when she was "Diana Prince" in the first season, which took place during world war 2.

OK... OK I watched the show... a lot. Still do. Have it on DVD actually.

As a kid, it was the only one of "my shows" my dad would watch with me. Not Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Ultraman, Incredible Hulk... none of them but Wonder Woman.

Go figure.

August has been my slowest month so far. I only lost 3 lbs during the month.

I plan to find ways to kick it up in September.

My momma has much less than I have, so I can't give her the credit. I went out and got mine on my own! LOL!

My little mom weighs about 110 pounds and is about 5'4. But she can kick your ass. No doubt. Kickboxer, skydiver, gym rat.. my mom IS the ideal 68 year old image of health. (and she has Lupas.. but don't tell her that!_

My mom suffers from "Pain-in-the-ass" syndrome. It's a shame, really. Very debilitating.

I think maintaining your weight once you reach goal will be much easier than continuing to lose....You have done so well Natural, enjoy being at goal!!

And thanks so much for the support Telly. I think you have lost the most the quickest due to your awesome attitude and dedication. You rock girl!!

P.S. I will be putting up some before/after shots when I get to goal so you guys can see....Sorry I don't have any up yet but I am not tech savvy AT ALL. But in 9lbs I will get some up...:huggie:

Check out all you Losers! I am so happy that so many of you are at or near goal!

There are a lot of people that say they can't get the last 20-40 pounds off with the band... Look at you guys proving them wrong. What an inspiration.

I have been thinking that I wasn't still losing as great as I could but at the beginning of the month, I was 10 pounds heavier than today... so this tool it still working!

Ok, I've had my coffee and responded to a few things on the boards that I just couldnt keep my mouth shut about, so now I guess it's time to do the updates. I'm feeling very brain lazy tho. Hm.. maybe another cup of coffee first.

Kath - gotcha on the man thing.. *hugs*

NaturalBeauty - Dont you dare stop hanging out with us now that you're at goal! I am so curious to find out what that's like. What does your Dr say you will be doing now? Will you let out some of your fill or keep it as is? Size 6 panties.. those ARE thongs.. right?? *winks*

I lose 3 to 4 pounds when it's P'Nuts TOM

I want to be a LOOSER!!!

I want to be a LOOSER!!!

LOL...whateva! :biggrin1:

Speaking of misspellings, this is one of my favorite images.

To be at a normal BMI, I would need to lose another 5 pounds but I really don't think the body can handle it. I'm starting to see body parts hanging that never have and I am not happy about that. I've been working out like a mad woman trying to tone. I'm hoping that will help so we'll see by next spring. I'm not going anywhere, I love this board and this club, it's been a great help to me!

I have good restriction but I can still eat so I will keep it where it is for now. I've added 2 protein drinks in a day as a snack which helps with maintenance. If I continue to lose, then I'll have some of the saline removed. My doctor is proud of me, I've lost over 80% of my body fat, so I am considered a successful bandester.

Size 6 panties are bikini, the world isn't ready for a thong yet and neither am I but hubbie is loving it!!!

Maintenance is scary, I'm on the scale everyday so I'll keep you posted. Hopefully, I'll get bettre with time. Thanks everyone, you all are great!!!

Could someone PM me with info on how this GFG section works...as far as what I need to post etc. Or post it here, i'm dying to join in.

Yay 503! Glad to have you here! I'll let the pros answer your questions...just wanted to say "welcome". I like what I have read of your posts, so far.
