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....

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!

And the polls are OPEN!!

I have to share this.. I took a break from the computer for a few minutes. I said "Lord, I've been on that computer for hours and haven't gotten very far. If this is the path for me, I really need your help!" I came back in, sat down and found your post! Ummm, Can I get an Amen!!

Thank you all sooo much! Nick, voting starts Monday 3/26. Dunno if it begins at 12:01am or when the webmaster starts his/her shift tomorrow.

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 You can do it right now from your smart phone, tablet, laptop or computer! NO registration required. Just a click!

Learn more about me at: http://band4christina.blogspot.com/ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!! And stay tuned for up dates!!

Thank you for visiting this blog. Many of you will be able to relate to my story. Just a few months ago I was in a very low dark place when a friend sent me a text. It was a link to a contest for a free lap band surgery. In my negative mind set I thought "yeah right! Like that would ever happen!" Well, three months later I received a phone call from the surgerons office telling me I was a finalist!! I couldn't believe it! There is light at the end of the tunnel! So here is my plea....The contest winners are determined by voting. The two with the hightest amount of votes wins. Please vote for me Christina L.
