I have been struggling with obesity for years. My health is declining and I have no insurance. I was at a very dark place when someone discovered this FREE Lap Band contest. Suddenly there was a light of hope. Miraculously I became a finalist! Having been in a state of depression for the past two years, I have become a bit of a hermit. Not many people to call on to vote for me. During my research into Lap Band I was amazed at the support network. So this is where I have turned in my time of need. I am calling on the Banded community, help me become one of you! Please vote for me Christina L. at: http://www.obesityno...com/contest.php

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!! And stay tuned for up dates!!

It says we can't vote more than once:

"Votes are tracked and attempts by any person to vote more than once will void ALL votes by that person."

And the polls are OPEN!!

Christina,

As embarrassing as this is, I can't figure out how to vote. Would you please explain what I need to do?

To Vote clink on this link:

http://www.obesitynomorefl.com/contest.php

A new window will open with the voting page. In the lower right of the page it has a box titled "Dr. Jessee's Group" select my name Christina L. then click on the "vote" button. And that's it!

It's one vote per internet connected device. So you can vote from your ipad, iphone, itouch, kindle, desk top,laptop, notebook, etc.

I believe they say only one vote per "household/email address" but you don't register or enter any of that information, so I think it is really per IP address.

Thanks eveyone!

Any word?

I believe it was the American Author Greg Anderson that said "Focus on the journey, not the destination.."

By now most of you have seen my picture is no longer on that website. It's true, I received the phone call from the contest rep that began with "Unfortunately....." It was not the call I had expected. As you can imagine this has been a long emotional roller coaster ride.

Though this adventure in my life's journey has come to an end I will reflect on the lessons learned and tell the funny stories for many days to come. Like when my mother and I tried to use one of the computer labs at my sisters college. Apparently it was very obvious we were NOT students and it was our FIRST time using that Mac computer. A chipper young student named Tuesday busted us but kindly help us "old folks" figure it out rather than reporting us to the "Lab Watchdogs". (yes it was a Tuesday and yes her name really was Tuesday)

Most importantly though, I want to sincerely thank each of you for all your encouragement and support.

Thank you all so much!

Now off to the gym I go....
