I'm not sure that I could make this journey on my own. The inspirational stories I've found here, the support, the sharing of the good, the bad and the ugly - its bloody fantastic! So a huge thanks to all of you who come here, for making my day much brighter and this journey seem much shorter.

I would have to second that...I think the reason I have been so successful in so far is because of the support and stories and just knowing that if I ever needed anything I have 100's of people to turn to.

Thanks so much!!!!!

I Havent Been Banded Yet But You Guys Truly Are An Inspiration And You Make My Days Seem Better, So I Know When I Need That Support After Being Banded I Can Come On Here And Get It

I'll third that sentiment!! This is a great and generous group and we all remember what it's like to be a bandster wannabe or newbie and thinking we're all alone. Sharing information makes all the difference.

Yay LBT! Ther is NO way I could do this without you all. I LOVE it here!!! I love all of you!

I refer to this place as my band family's house. I love it here, it is the first thing I do when I get online, even before email. I have laughed and cried and really gotten great tips and support here. It was my "band family" that told me to fight with the insurance company, so I did and I won. It is my "Band family" that tells me I can make it through 10 days of liquids and I will, (I think). It will be my "band family" that tells me to sip, sip, sip, and walk, walk, walk, when I am wondering what the hell I have done to my self in a few short days. I am glad to be here, and I share this place with anyone thinking of the band. I too wish to say thanks to everyone here for everything you do to help me be a healthier, happier and thinner me. ~Mandy

I agree I could not have gotten this far with out all the support:)

Altogether now,HUMMMMM "I second that emotion!" WOW we harmonize wonderfully.

I could not have gotten through some of my most trying times with the band, emotionally, spiritually, and yes even physically. LBT rocks!! Love you guys.

I love all of you too! You guys are the best!!!!

I second that emotion.

Yep, it's the best!

Definitely the best! I too look at LBT as my family. There is always support when you need it, a shoulder to cry on, and plenty of friends to Celebrate our achievements.

I have made some really good frinds here and I know I couldn't do it without everyone here!

CHEERS!!!!! :)

Group hug everybody!!! LOL. I love it here too and am so thankful for everyones love and support.

*sniff* *sniff* Group hugs! I have the option of a traditional support group while I'm home, but large groups of people are vary hard for me. Even large groups of large people...

This place is just THE BEST and so are the people!

I agree with all the above comments, although you are all a long way away form me I feel I know you and can turn to you with any problems, or doubts I have. Whatever I'm going through, I just know somebodys been there before me or somebody will know what to do.

Thanks Guys
