CJ: "I just want to run up and scream, and say, 'I know this place you can go,' you know, it's just, you just, you do, you just wanna be, some people want to know, some people don't want to know. And that's really, you know... I try to talk and be friends and do whatever I can to try to get to know that person whenever I can so that I can have a reason to kind of slip it into a conversation."

Steve: "I wonder when they're gonna hit their wall."

CJ: "Uhm-hmm."

Steve: "When they're gonna find that place within themselves that they think, 'I have to change,' or, you know, what's gonna be their wake-up call? What's gonna be their? What's gonna be there to slap them in the face? And I just wonder when are they gonna find that? Or when are they gonna hit that? And is there gonna be somebody there to help them when they do? And I really hope that there is."

Teresa: "When I see people like that I always wonder if they're feeling the same way I felt. If they're going through the same things I felt. And just hoping they have a good support system and, you know, get informed. And I don't always go tell everyone that I've... what I've went through, because some people don't understand. And some people aren't educated about the whole thing. But I just wonder definitely if they felt the same way I did... and there's somebody in there wanting to get out... you know, wanting to be a lot thinner."

Karen: "I always want to tell them about the band, and where I started from, and how I did it. And how I got the weight off. And the lifestyle that I'm living now because I want them to know about it, I want them to know that it is an option."

Stephen: "It's very difficult for me because I'm that person that wants to run up and say, 'Hey, you know, I was there at 353 pounds at 5' 7" at my worst.' And I see people like that I'm like... I mean there is another life, there is another option, but it comes back to what you said a minute ago, what is it going to take? What is the stopping point? You know, what is the wake-up call? Is it a heart attack first? A stroke? You know, and then? I mean, I've got a good friend now that's... very overweight, had a heart attack in the last couple years, you know, has a family, and I see him and we spend good times together. And I wanted to say, shake him like, 'What are you doing?'"
