		<description>Hi Genie,

I've missed you on GH and want you back!  That is why I watched the view the day you were on and that is why I started Medifast.  I've been wanting to get down to my previous weight and you gave me inspiration to do that.  Seeing how thin you had gotten gave me hope.  I think that you have always been beautiful but now I can tell you think that you are too!  Good luck on your last 10 and congrats on the 30 that's gone!
                   Truly,
                    Shauna
P.S.  Please come back to GH!  You and Luke are my favs!  The shows not the same without you!</description>

		<description>Hey Girl,
I have been watching you since I was in college-we are about the same age.
I stumbled across this site on the web and I had to say-you look positively beautiful! Not that you did not look nice before-but you are simply glowing!!
Congrats!

		<description>Hi Genie...

I just started Medifast 3 1/2 days ago...  I am 200 pounds and would like to lose 50 pounds.  I'm having cravings really bad today.  It's kind of hard because it's the weekend and I'm use to just eating whatever whenever.  I hope I can stick to it because you look great and I would love to drop the excess weight.  

Trying to stay strong!!!!</description>

		<description>Congratulations on your decision for the extra ten.  I too have been a fan since the GH days and will always be a fan .  I tried nutrisystem awhile back and didn't get anywhere because I also have to cook for a family but with medifast I can eat dinner (lightly) with them and still lose weight the rest of the day.  Keep writing we love to hear from you.</description>

		<description>Hi Genie,
I was at my lowest weight in my 20's.  That is my goal weight, but I was wondering why they say you have to have maintained that weight for several years.  I would love to be able to reach my old fighting weight again, but I didn't maintain it for that long.  Could you please explain why that would make a difference?  And thank you so much for sharing your story here.  It helps to see how others have reached their goals.</description>

		<description>I'm just a guest here, I have been thinking about trying Medifast, and saw that Genie Francis was on here!  :):)  I'm vegetarian, and my fear is:  No rice?  Pasta?  Potatoes? Does anyone lose weight on this program while incorporating any of these foods on an occasional basis, or do you have to do it 100%?  (don't laugh, I'm serious)  I bought some medifast food, and most of it is good, but my options are limited because of me being a vegetarian.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  By the way, GREAT JOB to those of you who have made this work for you!  I'm jealous. :):)</description>

		<description>Hi, Genie! I remember you the most from the North &#38; South tv miniseries. That is one of my all-time favorite Civil War era shows! (I have the box set). Anyway, you still look fantasic!! How do you keep looking so young? 
I have a mild weight problem--I'm 25 lbs over--but I don't have the time, money, or motivation to do something about it. I just figure it's meant to be for now and I love and accept who I am. As long as I don't gain any more, I'm happy! I just wanted to say hello and send my best wishes and blessings! :-)</description>

		<description>Dear Genie,
Congrats on losing so much weight already! I just know you're going to lose another 10 pounds. 

I have to admit it, I watched North and South the other day and freaked out over every scene with Brett Main Hazard [especially Book 2-- because you and Parker Stevenson made an ultra-cute couple.]

Once again, congrats and good luck on the other 10 lbs!! Keep us updated!

You rock Genie!

Southern Love,
Bailey</description>

		<description>Genie, you look great. I can't believe that you look as great as you do. I am like the lady with the bad disks. I have to watch what I eat. and when I eat. but, I am getting better. I have just started on this program. and I have a positive outlook, on this. my goal is to lose 75 pounds. I use to weigh, 175, and that is my goal. like you genie. with 2 kids, and your schedule. you look great. keep up the good work. God bless all of you. bonnie</description>
