I WOULD LOVE TO WIN SOMETHING, JUST ONCE IN MY LIFETIME!!!!

The last thing I won was a Cubs patio tent, and I am a White Sox fan! I ended up giving it to a co-worker.

Since I came onto this site in August of 2013, I have only missed checking in on the two days I was in the hospital getting sleeved.

Been here about 6 years. Lost almost 100 lbs with my lap band.Thanks to all ! Been reading these posts for all these years, yet never wrote. Maybe this will be your 4,000,000th post! Good luck to all!

Joining this forum was the best thing I have done to give and receive encouraging posts.

The vast majority of the people who participate in the threads have been nothing but helpful and supportive in every way.

I'm grateful for each and every one, and I'm proud to be a part of this community.

I just started posting today. Not sure why it took me so long except I am so dang busy. :-) I am so happy I am here and hope I can help others as well as getting help/ideas from others.

I swear I am addicted to this site. It feels like my second family and there is hardly a day that goes by that I am not on here.

I think the 2 vacations in which I was at sea with no internet access were the only times I missed a day.

Anyway, I just want to say Thank You Alex, for creating such a great space for us to share our stories, struggles and celebrations as we each go through our journeys.

I have learned so very much from the people who come to this site. I am not sure I would have been as successful with out my pals!

What a great accomplishment! Thank you for supporting us patients and giving us options.

Well, just imagine being the one to write the $4 million post! LOL That would be a dream come true to finally win something!

I have never won anything in my life & I am nearing 60! Although with all this weight that I have lost, I sure do NOT

look anywhere near 60. YAY me! Let's do this people.. WHO will be # 4 Million?

Yes who will be the $4,000,000th poster? ????

That blows my mind. 4,000,000 posts...I've contributed such a small chunk of those! Love this site.

Wow such a great group!

I wonder how many of the 4 million have to do with stalls?

My motto is you can't win if you don't enter.

The best thing I have ever won was a trip to Hawaii. As I lose weight I am feeling more optimistic about entering sweepstakes for trips. I am itching to travel!

This made me lol. Soooo many stall posts recently!

You won a trip to Hawaii??? I've won a pack of Oreos, two movie tickets, an Alanis Morrisette CD (not Jagged Little Pill), and a laptop bag (I didn't even have a laptop at the time).
