I just found out about this site yesterday and I did post something yesterday after reading all 14 pages prior to my blurb. I don't think this site is so that we can point fingers at each other and to think that every other person is conducting industrial espionage. The reality of the situation is that we are not all going to click to the same person - that's what makes the world go around!! I am the first one to admit that I was very upset when I found out that Jill left as she had steered me through my journey and was not there to know that I had reached my goal. I miss her. However, I realize that life goes on and I hope that after Slimband has completed their overhaul or whatever it is that they are doing, I will be able to find the same level of support, friendship and solace that I have found in the past. If in fact this site is being monitored by a staff from the clinic, I would love it if they could explain the changes - it might be helpful to a lot of people to know what changes are being made, why (there is a theory that if it ain't broke, don't fix it) and what we can expect in the future. I think that some of the problem might be that for those bandsters that have been around for awhile, the changes have not been explained in any way. On some levels we are not owed the explanation, however it would be nice.

This is the first time I have been on this site. I have lost all the weight I want since I have been banded (approximately 1 year ago) and am starting to learn to maintain. I attended the Boot Camp and Living with the Band and am sorry to hear that they are not being run any more. I was also sad to hear that they are not carrying the Metagenics line and would like to know what they are going to carry instead. Like many on this site, I was also surprised to hear that Jill had left as she had been such a huge support for me. It has been very upsetting to see what has been happening since Jill has left - everyone has been so uptight and non communicative about what is going on. The only comments I have heard about Jill leaving is what Lisa put on this site which I find very confusing and/or slanderous as she says that Jill was fired and I was told that she resigned and it was accepted. Jill would only tell me that she resigned and would say nothing else even when I pushed for more information. All I would like is honesty from all sides. I have been in touch with her (I got her number through directory assistance) and was told by her that she is NOT running any boot camp or boot camp type programs or coaching. She sounds great and is doing well. She is considering going back into her own business as a certified chef and nutrionist in the future.
