Due to the fact that my guest book server, Guest World, limited us to 250 guest per Guest Book I have had to save the first 250 or so to this page.  I would like all these wonderful entries to be read by all who wish to read them, so I have opted to do it in this way for now.  

I normally save all my Guest Book entries to my hard drive; but due to the fact I have been on vacation I was not able to save them from 6/22 to 7/11.  This would not normally be a problem but I have found when I finally downloaded my Guest Book it included all the private messages too and for the ones I personally did not save I have no idea which ones are private.  For this reason I am not going to include the entries from 6/22 to 7/11 - for all who was kind enough to sign my Guest Book, thank you and I'm sorry but I do not want to publish any of the private ones.  Hoping you understand, Dotti

UPDATE (7/16/99):
 I have NOW switched to another Guest Book which allows 2,000 entries per Guest Book...I have placed all previous Guest Book entries, except the private ones, from September 20, 1998 through July 26, 1999 on this page (latest first) if you are interested in reading them.

Great site! I have visited several times to keep my motivation up on my journey. Your site has really helped me. After visiting your site I joined WW. I had never really considered WW before although I had been trying without much success to lose weight for about six months. Since joining WW I have went down 24 lbs since June 22 99. I first found you through the Rosie's Chub Club message board. Cathy

Loved the web site. Especially the recipes and points for various prodocts, and the fast food places. Great for when I visit Toronto. The only well known fast food chain located in Bermuda is KFC, which I am not too fond of. Being in Bermuda I do not have access to a class, as ww is not here. Fortunately I have kept in touch with my leader in Toronto and she has given me all of the program info for the 123 program. I found this site throught a link through the austrailian ww web site. Well done, keep up the good work.

Dotti - I hope you don't mind but I posted your site on a message board - Rosie O'Donnell's Chub club message boards. A lot of us have been down and discouraged and I thought your website might cheer them up - looks like it did! If you want to visit that board - go to http://rosieo.warnerbros.com/ and then click on Contact Rosie and then Chub Clubs. Then you will see a link for the message boards. Make sure it is the Chub Club boards that you go to - the regular boards might scare you away!! The boards go down from time to time, so check back if you don't succeed the 1st time. We'd love to have a "loser" (I mean that in a good way!!) come by and visit and give us some tips! Thanks again!

I truly admire your journey into lasting weight loss and a healthy lifestyle change. You are an inspiration to me. I started WW 123 in January and have stopped going to the meetings. I think I'll try looking for a better meeting. Luckily I'm still losing and still following the plan as closely as I can. Thank you for all the fantastic information on your site.

I LOVE your page. I have joined Weight Watchers so many times without success. My fault, just couldn't get it together. I have been on it since March 1, 1999 and have lost 25 lbs. Hope to be at 295 by Christmas. The Web is making the difference in motivation. Thank you so much. I KNOW we can do it if we try hard enough. I am getting rid of my clothes as they get too big.That is a comitment to me as I am kind of tight with a dollar. Will be visiting you regularly. You look wonderful!

What a wonderful and informative site you have here! I found this through 3fatchicks and I am glad I did! If you can do it, so can I! I am doing my own "lifestyle change". I started this last week and today's grocery trip has no Little Debbie's - only fresh fruit and vegies! Kids need to change too! And they are already following by the example I am setting! I am amazed! If I only knew that it would be this easy! Thank you for a wonderful site! Good luck with your maintenance!

Hi, I just received this web sight from a friend and came to it. She suggested it because I am getting ready to start WW also. I have done it twice before and did quite well actually. 46 lbs the first time and 25 lbs the second time. Then i get rapped up in everyday life, get discouraged with platos and quit, but this time I want to do it for good! Make a LIFETIME CHANGE!!!! Just wanted to let you know how much I like your sight and plan to be a regular visiter. Thanks for sharring your jouney.

You have put together a wonderful site. I love the holiday recipes. I'm doing well at WW it's been a little rough. Alot has happened in my life since I started, lost my mother-in-law in death and several other things. I feel real good that I have been able to lose 22 and a half pounds. I am really sure I am going for the long haul this time and sites like yours are going to be very helpful. Thank you! Sandy CJ

To Dotti, My GREATEST Motivator, I just wanted to thank you for all your love and support. Without you I would still be that Fat Depressed person I was 16 months ago. You have encouraged me so much. This morning after reviewing your WONDERFUL website I got my butt in gear and went for a walk and started my journal again. After all I can't let you be too much thinner than me. :-) For everyone out there who has made Lifetime. You must continue to exercise and if you don't journal everyday do it from time to time just so you know that your staying on track. Its so easy to slip back into your old habits. Take it from someone who knows. I've lost 50 pounds and I've put 10 back on. As of today I'm back on track. Thank You Dotti, Love Your Bestest Friend, Tammy

Just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for such an incredible web site! I was a member of WW 123 last year and was doing incredibly well until...I hit a financial brick wall. I am no longer able to afford to go. I spoke so highly of the program while I was on it that 2 of my friends joined and are currently succeeding wonderfully. So I decided that while they attend, I can follow the program, with the materials I gathered in the 5+ months I was on the program, and get the support I need from my friends. I have been back on the "program" now for a week and lost 3 lbs! Definitely an ego boost. After finding your site yesterday and reading most of it...I remembered that I am not alone and that I can succeed. Thanks again for the great motivation. I know I will visit again and again. I emailed my friends with your web site info and they were very excited to check it out. Keep up the great work!

Wow! You look great. I too lost a lot of weight on WW , back in 1969 I lost 108 lbs and became a leader, In 1974 I had to quit working for WW. I was able to keep my wt. down until 1978 and then I grad. started gaining a few lbs. a year. Now I am 40 lbs. over my goal and your wt. loss is very inspiring. Dottie

You are a true inspiration. I started WWW 123 last Thursday and am amazed at what a person can eat. I am eating much better and much healthier than I ever have. I have 150 pounds to lose, but with God and the help of Circle of Hope friends I really think I can do it. Thank you so much for this web site.

: I found your site on Australia's WW page and I just think it's great. I would love to hear from Vicki Shegog who posted a message on the 15th from Tasmania as this is my home state. So we can swap inspiration if she would like. This is a fabulous site and congratulations for a fantastic weight loss. I have lost 30 kg (66 lbs) with still 17 kg (37 lb) to go. I hope one day I'll get there too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, Found this page by linking from another page. Just wanted to let you know that I thought it was wonderful. Very informative! I have been overweight by about 50 pounds for the last 10 years and have tried desperately to get them off for the last 4 months. 4 - 6 km walks a day and cutting down on food intake (I admit I ate out of boredom). I have lost onlu 9 pounds in this time and am very frusterated. There is no weight watchers near me, but I think I could incorperate some of what I learned here into my everyday living. Thanks for all the information (and recipes - I LOVE recipes!). Kudos on a job well done!

I have been on the Weight Watchers 1-2-3 plan before and I am a firm believer that it works--if you work it, of course. Unfortunately, I gave in to my old habits way too quickly, and have been travelling along the wrong path ever since. I want so badly to shed 30-40 lbs. I am so very thrilled that I came across your website; it contains a great deal of valuable insight, and it has inspired me to take charge without looking back. All we have got is the moment; therefore, I must take control today. Thanks for the inspiration. Pamela.

Dotti, Congrats, you look great and your web site is unreal. I have been sitting here for hours and to think that what lead me here was my determination not to give into the desire (not the need) to pig out in front of the tele. I have been on WW 123 for two weeks and two days and have lost 3.6kg. I have a long way to go but I know I can do it because I am ready to acheive my dream. I have printed out just about all of the prayers and other motivational pieces on your site and have pinned them around my room. I'll make sure to pass them on to friends and family for inspiration. I am so glad I stumbled onto your site as it reminded me of something vital for surviving this battle with weight...and that is to have a sense of humour and stay positive. Thankyou for the inspiration you have given to me and to many others. I have bookmarked your site and will return often. Your efforts have made me realise that I have already succeeded because I am making an effort to change.

I have turned the half century age and after eatting everything and anything my whole life find I know have to watch it as the pounds are "gathering" in all the wrong spots. I have more excuses than you could imagine (or myabe you could) to not have time to exercise - your site is truly an inspiration and I plan to share it with my friends in the same mode....

A great page! But first of all, congratulations on your weight loss! I'm on the 123-Success plan presently and have so far lost 18 pounds in 7 weeks, so I know you are right when you say it works and is easy! Well done!

Dotti, Your page is absolutely inspiring! I love the before & after photos - you look fabulous. I have about 60-70 pounds to lose. I started January 4th and have lost 10, slow and steady. I was telling some co-workers (we weigh in together each Friday AM) about your comic relief section. Was that where I saw the piece titled "Where are my Boobs?" If so, could you possibly e-mail it to me? One woman who has been complaining about losing it all in her chest would love to see it. Again, your web page is VERY NICELY DONE! Thanks:) Conni

You have a wonderful web page. I have enjoyed reading it. I am trying to lose weight. It is not going very far. After reading your info I am thinking about giving it another shot at WW. I tried it about 5 years ago and lost a few pounds but now I have about 40 to lose and trying by myself is not working. I started in September and now weigh more than I did than. Thanks

Dotti! Congratulations on your weight loss and on a healthier, longer life! I've become much more motivated by your page. I also have about 50 pounds to lose...being 5'6" and 200 lbs is NOT good. I don't FEEL bad, but my self-esteem is killing me. I've been a "big" girl all my life, yet I was never called any "fat" names...and when I tell them how much I weigh...they don't believe me. Maybe I carry it well...but the point is I don't like me. I've got a journal started and I WILL make myself do this because I will be posting my webpage so that I can succeed just as you and others have! Again, thank you and congratulations!!!

Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your journals and am very impressed with your quick progress. I too have quite a bit of weight to lose at least 50 if not 60 lbs. I guess with my youngest being three I have to quit calling it baby fat. I would be interested in tracking my journals on the computer for all to see also but am not sure how to go about it. We just purchased our computer for Christmas and I am still new at it. Could you give me some hints? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, and Congratulations!!!

WOW! I just love your site. You have really motivated me to keep on the course. I joined WW 3 weeks ago and was very encouraged when I reviewed your site. I've got about 40 pounds to lose (my how marriage makes you gain) to be at my before marriage weight. Who knows, I may even start a site about my journey!

I read your secrets of success and I never thought that organization really mattered when it came to loosing weight. But all those ideas about measuring your food and packing it in baggies made a lot of sense. That is something I am going to "have" to start doing. Thanks a million!And keep up the good work...

Well done Dotti, I too lost my weight with the 1,2,3 success program. 20kgs and i,ve never felt better. You really hit the nail on the head when you said it,s a lifestyle change and not a diet. If only my friends that want to lose weight understood that they could be well on their way instead of always resorting to lose weight quick schemes. Such as one commenting "I,ve found the perfect way to lose weight,I wont eat anything after 12noon" Pages like yours go a long way to educating people on the right way and are a great inspiration.

Dotti you are wonderful. I couldn't be more proud of you! I have watched you take the Weight Watchers program and stick to it religiously, while 3 times a week getting in a good one hour workout. I watched you drop over a 100 pounds in less than a year. You then created a web page to help others, and even though I have been married to you for over 22 years you still continue to amaze me. Thank you for being who you are, and thank you so much for being my wife. I love you!

The luckiest man in the world,

Al

PS Girl you are looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dotti,Ijust met you just the other day. When you told me that you were on weight watchers I thought maybe you had lost 10 or20 Lbs. Then you told me that you had lost 100 Lbs. It was hard to believe you until you showed me your "Old" drivers license. I couldn't believe that was you,but sure enough you name was right there clear as day. I admire your determination and your will to reach a goal that most overweight people never accomplish. Your website will show others how wonderful you look and you also look like you feel great. You made me a believer. Now you are smiling from the inside out instead of "putting on a happy face". This really does work. WOW!!!!!!! Dotti keep it up

I am just starting the 123Program. I lost 5lbs in the first 2 weeks, but then along came Thanksgiving. However, I am not giving up. I enjoyed reading your story, and it showed me that this program does work. I just have to help it along. I would like suggestions, about the different meals you ate. I believe my biggest problem is VARIETY. It seems like I eat the same things day in and day out. Any suggestions you can give would be greatly appreciated. Again, I enjoyed your web page. I found in the local paper.

As it says, I just surfed in! Congratulate yourself, Dotti. Weight Watcher's should be glad to have such free advertising for their program, and if it helps someone who needs to lose weight start their program and be successful, then they should give you a medal. Many "hip, hip, hoorays" for you effort.
