--Marshall Cook, University of Wisconsin Outreach Program. 

---

“What an amazing motivator & speaker.  Our whole town is buzzing with talk of the ‘Thin Choices’ strategies to lose weight.”

--Jill Bjornstad, Library Director, Torkelson Memorial Library.

“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.

---

“I believe Jill has been blessed with the ability to articulate in a clear, concise, non-threatening, yet very digestible fashion, good practical nutrition information within her book.  I recommend this book to all of my clients who desire permanent weight loss.” 

--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
