Dear Jill,

  I am also starting out this year to lose weight and get healthy. I need to lose between 55 and 65 pounds. I  also sneak candy sometimes and have never been able to stick to a plan or a diet or exercise program. I even paid for a personal trainor once a week for about 4-6 months. It ended up being a waste of money because i would either cancel my appointment (even though i had to pay for it anyway) or i wouldn't work out any other time during the week. It was like going to school and getting an 'F' because i didn't complete my work. I will check in on your progress often. I have never been on the message boards before and am not sure how it works, but i hope to keep in touch with you and be encouraged myself.

Dear Jill,

  maybe i have figured out how to use the message boards. most of it seems beyond me, but we will see. I just wanted to encourage you to take another step forward on your new plan. i believe there is truth in the

'one day at a time' thought process. When Dr. Phil said you were just overwhelmed and didn't in your heart think you could do it, i believe that is true for many of us. I struggle with my thought process constantly of having the 'can do ' attitude versus the 'no way can i ever do that attitude. so, for today, i am going to have a can do attitude.  Having long term goals, and reaching them by having short term goals frequently has got to be part of the success formula. I encourage you and i both to take just one more step today to reach our long term goals by successfully reaching our one day short term goal for today.  

i know you can do it,

 just wanted to encourage you to continue to hang in there and to reach your daily goals. I did indeed my goal for yesterday and today. one small step for me, wtih great results at the end of one year if i go one day at a time. i think you are very brave going on tv and basically drawing a line in the sand with yourself.

i will post tomorrow. have a great weekend.

Dear jill,

  You really did inspire me to get started getting healthy. So, i am continuing my one day at a time. i have successfully done exercise of some sort every day that i had planned to. I really am excited about it being different this time. One foot in front of the other......I am rooting for you!

Dear Jill,

  If you have a chance to start posting yourself to let us know how you are doing, that would be awesome. i hope you are being successful at getting started. I have been exercising for almost 1 week. on a regular basis. yeah for me. of course, no  weight loss, but i am praying and hoping for that to happen. Please let us know. I am having to ake my 'seal of success' as my activity not my result right now. thanks for going on the show and being an inspriation.

dear Jill,

 i hope you are being successful at all you are doing in changing your life. I am still continuing with my

resolution despite the fact that  have had ZERO weight loss. I have pretty much kept up my schedule of elliptical every other day and 'the firm' every other day. i am now able to get through about 40% of the firm.

i looking for successful weight loss and look forward to feeling better. i hope you are also.

dear jill,

 I hope you are gettting your life in order. I am watching the dr phil show you were on and i would like to know how you are doing. i am still keeping my resolution. i have been exercising fatithfully. TWICE I have missed my days but i did double exercise the next day so that the same amount of calories were burned per week. I am watching what i am eating, but, after 2.5 weeks now or maybe three, i have not lost one pound. that is disappointing. i am reminding myself daily that it is the activity and commitment, not the results. i am praying that any day now, my weight will start to move. i can do about 65% of my'the firm' work out now. i DO feel better when i exercise.
