18 Days Till I Get My Band!!!
Nightingale ~ The Protein Drink I'm using aren't the same as the Adkins Advantage. These I have are EAS - Advant Edge. They say carb control on them and they have 15 grams of protein /100calories/ 3 fat grams/ 4 carbs/ 0 sugar(They are sweetened with Splenda).Also they are packed with lots of Vitamins.I will check out that Unjury site. I bet those are as good as you say. I just wanted to tell you the ones I've been using are different from Advantage! I thanks for the suggestion keep em coming!!!

Moderator and Privacy Issues on LBT
I'm not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. I feel like in this case 1 apple has spoiled a whole bunch. This apple has stired the pot til it reeks!!!I Also I am very upset with the thought that anyone would act like they are someone their not only to get attention from inocent people looking for help and support. Also going as far as pming people with comments under a FAKE name just to keep the pot stired. SO CHILDISH. As far as the Moderators I have nothing against any of them . As a matter of fact I commend them for taking time out of their daily lives to help with the suport Here on LBT.ALL of them have been a big help though one of the toughest times in my life and for that I am forever thankful. PLEASE KEEP LBT HERE FOR US!!!! I don't know what actions need to be taken ,but I know that the last few days seem to be getting better here on LBT. I hope it will stay that way. I need this site and lots of others feel the same way! I think some guidlines are in order. That would have kept alot of this in control before it got out of hand. I also want to thank you Alex for even creating this site. I want you to know it is of great value to so many. You will never know the joy I felt or the tears I have cried from the suport I recieve daily from the loving ,caring , people that share their lives here on LBT. To take that away would take hope from so many.... Thank you for your continued efforts to keep LBT the BEST suport site there is!!!

Movies
The Best Me~ I found alot of the Disney movies I have at BlockBuster when they have previously viewed movies for sale. I have never had any problems with them working. Ebay might be a good place to check. You might even have to get into one of those movie clubs . That could get really expensive though!!
