C'mon, brag a little! :)

Too often we see newcomers overwhelmed by all the negative publicity and horror stories about the band. If that isn't bad enough, we all know there's a ton of downright false information flying around about it too. We've all heard it and we've all spent our fair share of time trying counter all this negativity with truth.

It's unfortunate that it seems those having major problems are the always the loudest while the happy successful people sit mostly silent on the sidelines. This is a big part of the reason people assume the worst!

People, are you happy with your band? Have you lost any weight? I know you're out there, so tell us about!! Really, it's ok to brag!! Share your hopes, your dreams, your success stories! Not only is it good for your own spirit but it really can encourage others and give them hope when they need it most.

Post your success stories here please!!

  • I LOVE MY BAND. I am at Docs goal of 175 for my height, but going for 165. 8 more pounds to go! Best thing I ever did for myself. Size 22 down to size 8 jeans! Yay me!!!!

  • Well I'm not a success story yet, but I wanted to share my journey so far. Before I was banded I had no life. Everything in my life was met with pain and hopelessness. I couldn't walk, couldn't play
