--Marshall Cook, University of Wisconsin Outreach Program.

--Angie Maddox, attendee, Franciscan Skemp Healthcare-Arcadia, Woman’s Night Out, April 2005.
“The excellent, high-energy presentation hit on current topics that applied to the life of each audience member. Our rushed society & busy way-of-life have caused us to lose sight of what is healthy.”
--Ann Dahmen, Meeting Planner for Galesville, Ettrick & Trempealeau area school systems.

--Steve Ritz, MA, exercise physiologist and owner of Fitness First of MN, Inc.
"The most important thing I learned is that thin people generally aren't thin because they're "lucky" and I am not overweight because I'm "unlucky." It's all about choices - educated choices."
--Leanne Seddlemeyer, Holmen, WI
"Being thin and healthy doesn't mean being deprived of the "good" things."
--Julie Sass, Eau Claire, WI
"I will never forget Jill. She changed my life. [Shortly] after attending her classes I got pregnant. I only gained 35 pounds with this pregnancy, as opposed to the 70 pounds that I gained with my first child. I very quickly returned to my pre-pregnancy weight and lost an additional 10 pounds to reach my ultimate goal weight. I will never yo-yo diet again."
--Jamie Ottum, La Crosse, WI
"I wish I had met Jill and discovered the Thin Choices concept 10 years ago. I could have saved thousands of dollars that I have wasted on diet programs, prepackaged meals, diet pills, and club memberships."
--Nancy Martizez, Onalaska, WI
"My Cholesterol level was up over 200. After adopting the Thin Choices program, my cholesterol dropped to 123!"
-- Ben Grady, Black River Falls, WI
"Jill sure enjoys what she does. She helps people believe in themselves again. She has a definite gift.".
-- Angie Harding, Coon Valley, WI
"I was skeptical about another diet plan, because I've tried them all. This approach is definitely different - not a diet at all - and it works."
-- Joan Knoche, Stillwater, MN
"I can't believe how easy it is! I don't even feel like I am on a diet, just making a few changes, yet I am still losing weight."
-- Richard Meinert, La Crescent, MN
"The Thin Choices concepts are simple and make sense. We should do what the thin people are doing if we want to look like them."
-- Bev Owen, La Crosse, WI
"I will never go on another diet again. This non-diet approach has finally taught me how to lose weight without torturing my body. I have a new respect for this marvelous machine that serves me so well."
-- Jennifer S.
"I now eat and move like my thin friends. For the first time in my life, I actually try on clothes when I am shopping. I used to just buy the biggest size, take it home and try it on, and pray that it would fit. What a gift it is to be able to shop in the same clothing stores as everyone else."
-- Janice Kirska, Stoddard, WI
"My energy level is through the roof...without caffeine or drugs."
-- Ken Ryan, La Crescent, MN
"Since I have slowed down my eating pace, I really taste my food. I never knew that my wife was such a good cook!"
-- Ed DeVine, St. Paul, MN
"When Jill recommended that I should eat at least 5 to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables, I thought she was crazy! I wasn't eating any at that time. Now, 30 pounds lighter, I crave my fruits and veggies daily. The bonus is that I am also decreasing my risk of cancer at the same time."
-- Connie Garson, La Crosse, WI
"I now know that I am the one who made myself fat, and I am the one who can make myself thin again. It is up to me, no one else can do it for me. I am through making excuses for my extra fat and done feeling sorry for myself."
-- Jean Flesberg, Eau Claire, WI
"I didn't realize that I was slowly killing myself with the things that I was putting into my body combined with the lack of activity. My weight was steadily increasing each year. After just one year of following the Thin Choices program, I feel great! I feel strong and lean. It is as if I have taken years off my life. I have transformed from a tired slug into a beautiful butterfly."
-- Amy Busse, Osh Kosh, WI
