    Hi 6W2SJ!! My name is Kacie. I am 29 years old and will be 30 in May. Last fall I made myself a promise to be in amazing shape by my 30th birthday and I am carrying it into the New Year as my resolution!! I started at a comfy size 12 and I am a size 8 now, which is getting to be on the bigger side already. I have been dieting and exercising since the end of last August. I just finished reading the book on my IPad and it is so well written and such an easy read. I loved every minute of it!! Started my diet today. I even tried some recipes from the book!! The skinny soup is so so good. Can't wait to continue on this journey and thank you for all your expertise and knowledge I have now been enlightened with from your book :)
  • Hi Kacie,

    I can't wait to follow your journey! I'm so happy you enjoyed the book. If you get time I would love for you to leave a review on Amazon.com and Google or wherever you downloaded it. All of you ladies so inspire me!

    Feel free to friend me!

    Hi, I'm 34 years old, just bought the book last week, and I'm on the diet and exercise plan. I'm not overweight at all, but after having 2 kids (last one born Summer 2010) I find that my old clothes do not fit right, and i just need to lose the extra 10-15 pounds to take me from a size 8 to a 6 or 4. I'm currently 135 and 5'8". I'm looking forward to posting my results in 6 weeks!
  • Hi canuckmom2,

    So glad to have you join us!

    Remember to have fun on the journey. Chapter 11 will give you ideas of how to live in your Skinny Jeans after you're done with the butt busing 6 weeks.

  • Hi! My name is Gisele. I'm a PhD student and mom to a beautiful and energetic 19-month old boy. I am definitely overweight and cannot imagine how I could have gone from a size 6 8 years ago to a size 14 today. Actually, no, I know exactly how I got here and it involved lots of food and very little exercise. I started following the plan outlined in the book Monday and have already lost close to 4 lbs to I am super excited and motivated!
  • Hi Gisele...!!!
    I'm so.... excited for you!!! I too found myself in a similar place after having my four year old. It's okay that we fell, cause we have made the choice to get back up and take back our lives. I will be right there cheering you on! Make sure to visit me on Facebook too I check multiple times per day and will keep you fully motivated! www.facebook.com/sixweekstoskinnyjeans

    I look forward hearing about and following your journey.

    Hello, My name is Tori, I'm a teacher and 54 yrs old. I have alot to lose. After reading the introducations and seeing how little everyone has to drop I wonder if this will work for me. I figure I'll just have to continue longer on the plan. I hope that it will get me in the habit of eating health because my health is getting bad, BP and pre-debetic. Since I just got the book yesterday I'm still confuse as what I'm eating but will review today. I really need to do this.
  • Hi Tori,
    Welcome aboard!

    Jump to page 116. It completely outlines the first three weeks of eating for you. You can also find sample eating plans starting on page 215. You will do great. Remember to keep a good attitude, believe that you can do anything you set your mind too... and if you stumble along the way, forgive yourself and immediately jump back on.

    Don't forget to build your Can Do Society! This is really important!!! Take as many girlfriends on the journey with you. Lastly, log every morsel of food (on here) that goes in your mouth for the next six weeks. This will really help get those good habits going. Have fun!

    Live life. Love yourself. Be healthy.

    Hi there, my name is Stacy. I'm a 38 year old single mother of a 13 year old girl & 20 year old son. I have been on a diet roller coaster for many years and the scale has been going in the wrong direction, but I'm ready to change that now! I just bought the book on my iPad...saw it in prevention & read the sample. I'm so excited to think that I could actually be 2 sizes smaller in 6 weeks. Looking forward to reading the rest of the weekend & starting my journey on Monday.
  • Hi Stacy!

    So glad you found us. Believe the roller-coster stops here and it will. The next six weeks is about learning discipline, so you can take what you "can live with" and "live with it" for life. If at any time you start to doubt yourself -- I want you read Crossing Over at the back of the book and see yourself writing your own story there. Have fun, enjoy the journey.

    Hope to see you on FaceBook www.facebook.com/sixweekstoskinnyjeans -- don't forget to build your society, it really does help.

    Live life. Love yourself. Be healthy.

    Hello ... I just recently purchased your book while I was out celebrating my 40th birthday. I'm very excited as it's already close to what I'm doing, but provides additional support and tools I real need. I started today and so far so good. So, we'll see how this goes. Thank you for taking personal interests in your followers!

    I have read the "Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans" book twice so far in the past month. I am on week 1 day 4. I am super excited! I am currently 190 with a goal weight of 140 (though I know I won't get there in 6 weeks) I plan on making this my lifestyle change. I am 30 years old and told myself when I was 29 that I wanted to get in shape (pre-kids). Well, I am almost 31 now. I have 2 small children, ages 3 and 6. My husband recently lost 50 pounds and I wanted to look better and feel better as well. He just keeps talking about how much easier things are and how great he feels. (I was a bit jealous)
