I think that Hollywood ideals are way to unmanageable for women. A size 6 is tiny and very difficult to maintain. I was a size 6 at my wedding and I don't think I will ever be that thin again in my lifetime. I think you are beautiful, inside and out, and have been a loyal General Hospital fan because of you! Focus on your health, not what size you are. Thank you for sharing your story. Andrea Chicago, IL Hi Genie,

I lost 35lbs a couple of years ago. Each dress size I lost, I went out and bought a new wardrobe. Well I went from at 12 to a 0-2, so you can imagine how many "new wardrobes" I bought. A lot of wasted money. Many of the clothes still have the tags. I would only buy like 2 pants (black and jeans) at each stage and not a whole wardrobe. Wait until you get to the point where you are pefectly happy with your weight and don't plan to lose more, and keep it off for a month or 2 before buying the full wardrobe. You'll save a lot. Plus, if you buy a new wardrobe at your lowest weight and then gain some back, you won't be able to wear the wardrobe. That's why I say wait a couple of months. Hi Genie,

So far so good. I wouldn't have done this but you inspired me so. I have lost 5 pounds and he has lost 4. The drinks are good, I am just having a hard time with some of the powder food. I'm starting to walk which I know will help.. I am very happy for you. You are on the downside of the diet program. I was wondering, how long has it taken you to lose weight? (I am not sure how much you wanted to lose in the first place)You sure look great! I want you back on GH. Debbie L Green, OH My husband and I are into the second week of the Medifast diet.

Obviously, there is even more pressure in your line of work! Just wanted to say I think you're fantastic - I tried to post something recently, but never saw it so am trying again. My grandmother, Lenore Kingston, was an ORIGINAL CAST MEMBER OF GH, (Mrs. Weeks). I've always been a fan and have been told many times "you look just like Genie Francis"...it is always a huge compliment! Hang in there and be proud of your accomplishment! Let us know if you do go to Italy with the empty suitcases - that sounds wonderful! All the best, Jen Hi, Genie:

The last 10 is like the first 10 and the middle 10. These places we hit and have to adjust. The mind does matter even if it is subconscious. Try a wonderful self hypnosis cd. It helps with the obsessive thought processes. Good luck and happy you are here. Hi Genie,
