		<description>Hi, Genie!
I have been a General Hospital fan for the past seventeen years and really enjoyed what you brought to the show.  Watching you on the view, and hearing of your success with Medifast, has given me the incentive to try Medifast for myself.  I acturally placed my order today.  I have about sixty pounds to lose, but I'll just tell myself that 'if Genie can do it, so can I!!!'  You truly are an ispiration.

		<description>I've never visited the medifastdiet website before but was on yahoo when I saw an ad with your photo.  I'm so glad I clicked through; I've enjoyed reading your journal entries -- so down to earth -- so... "real folks."  You're an inspiration for so many; but also, the written responses inspire as well.  

Your photo looks great and actually I can't see why you would want / need to lose any more weight.  You look "just right" right now!!  After reading your entries, I'm considering taking the plunge and joining this program.  Thank you for sharing -- it's an encouragement.</description>

		<description>Hello Genie: First may I start off by saying I've enjoyed watching you on television for many years and was so very thrilled when you made your debut back to television around Christmas. Here's hoping you will come back to General Hospital. You look great at a perfect size six.

I will be 48 years old December 13, and I am 5 ft 4' and weigh 120 lbs. I'm trying to lose an additional 5 to 7 pounds. I've been listening to those outside influences and public's perception of what it believes I should weigh instead of what is actually normal and healthy. Thank you for your inspiration.</description>

		<description>Hi Genie,

Reading your blog just reminds me how much of a struggle this is for ALL of us!  You are doing great so far.  Those "no loss weeks" are so defeating, but hang in there.  I have lost 6 pounds so far, but I too found myself staring into the peanut butter jar.  My children could live on PB&#38;J.  Keep posting and I will keep following you and knowing we are all in this together!
Keep up the good work,
Marcy</description>

		<description>hello Genie - I so totally understand about getting fixating on those dreaded numbers at the scale.
There is a part of me that feels if the scale stops, then I'm done losing and it won't ever start again - which I know is unreasonable!
That halibut sounds absolutely wonderful. What do you cook when you are at home?</description>

		<description>Just remember that even if you didn't lose, you didn't gain! You're on a plateau and you look great!</description>

		<description>Hi Genie,

After reading your interviews, then following your postings about Medifast, I "took the plunge" and joined too just a couple of days ago. I have followed your career in Gen. Hospital and always admired you both professionally and personally in your choices.  Reading how you keep going and are so honest in trying to stay on Medifast made me want to invest myself in doing this for me. I too find it hard and have to take it day by day. I find your postings very inspiring.  Thank you for being so genuine.

Sincerely,

Cath H</description>

		<description>Hi Genie!
I know how the scale can be a huge distraction. I have me daughter hide mine until my weigh in day. The best way to think about not losing anything this week is to realize you didn't GAIN any. That's always a great thing. You are doing awesome, keep it up. Can't wait to hear more about your journey.</description>
