Have you been watching The Dr. Oz Show recently? One of the 3 beauty queens named Jullie Miller who is 41 agreed to share her  weight-loss journey on the The Dr. Oz Show. In this interview, Jullie Miller shares what is happening with her now.

1) Are you working out?
I always get in my 10,000 steps. I have taken this seriously, since I live in Ohio I got a treadmill. I have made a deal with myself that I DO NOT allow myself to watch any of my favorite shows unless I am walking on my treadmill. One 1hr show is 5000 steps. Now that it is nice outside I walk to school and pick up my son (his suggestion) and then he and I walk home. It is 5300 steps from home to school and back. It has both helped me get out and helps me hear more about my sons day. Also we have picked up many of my sons friends along the way. Now 3-4 boys walk with me a day, of course as long as it is nice! So one soap opera (treat) and walk to school 10,000 steps – plus anything else is a bonus!

2) Has the show changed your life and in what way?
I have made MANY life changes. You find when you change for the positive not many want to change with you! We are not doing a diet we are making a lifestyle change and the people in your life have to be ready for that. The biggest challenge YOU need to be ready for that!

3) Will you compete in beauty contests after you lose the weight?
I would like to and hoped to make it a goal but there is a key missing I am not a “Mrs” like Jill. LOL. As well as everything else I have recently called off an engagement.

4) How old are you?
I am 41 – so Wow I am the OLDEST.

5) How are you losing weight?
I have been consistent every week!! The belief in the commercials that 20lbs in 20 days or 10lbs in 2 weeks. Don’t believe it! Or you can believe it but you wont stay with it!

6) Do you like Jill? (Editor’s note: Dr Oz brought beauty queen, Jill Knapp, in to coach the ladies.)
I love Jill. She is my saving grace. I can call/email her anytime. She knows what we have been through. She has been there and she understands.

7) What do you do for a living?
I am unemployed right now which is why I was motivated to do the show. I was a Sr. Program Manager/consultant for a Fortune 500 Company. This is why I went looking for SOMETHING to change what I had become. I was in a panic that I was going to HAVE to interview in front of people. I know the show only portrayed that I only didn’t want to take my son to school. But editing for time is not always a good thing. I refused/refuse to leave my house. I spent the last 18 months working from home HIDING. If you recall Dr. Oz stated at the beginning of the show that I had a great deal of changes in my life. I had a great deal of loss that brought me here. I have lost a child (recent miscarriage – 2 in past year), loss of a job, engagement canceled (loss of upcoming marriage) and basically a loss of self. I am the type of person that has a strong self worth and identity through work, so being without a job is not good for me.

8 ) Do you have kids?
I do have one 14 year old son (will be 14 in April)

Thank you Julie. We wish you the best of luck and feel you are already a winner. Watch for announcements for the rest of the beauty queen interviews and next Dr. Oz show.
