Here are some questions people frequently ask. If you have others, please feel free to contact us.

	Why is this program called LoneStart?
	It originated as a grass-roots initiative in Texas, the Lonestar state. It can only be done by you, alone. And it is a start, a first step to get you started on a path to sustainable health and wellness.
	What makes this different from other wellness programs and initiatives?
	It starts as a 21-day strategy to create and meet realistic expectations and can be repeated indefinitely until it becomes a lifestyle choice. It is simple, honest and effective. It is based on established principles of social psychology and social psychophysiology, and concentrates on the first steps in what becomes a sustainable effort for each of us to take back control of our personal health and wellness.
	Why is this a 21-Day program?
	Several reasons. There is science behind the idea that behaviors become “ingrained” when sustained and reinforced for 21 days. Most people believe that they can do “just about anything” for only three weeks—and in just three weeks participants will see significant results from their efforts during that brief period of time. And 21 days is just the beginning.
	What do I do after the initial 21 days?
	There is really no actual end to this “first-step” program. Simply continue to practice, refine and incorporate the LoneStart principles into your own lifestyle. Achieving lifelong health and wellness is an ongoing process.
	Is this just another diet and exercise program?
	Absolutely not. It goes much further. In fact, this initiative is a logical response to the discouraging fact that fully two-thirds of all dieters gain back all of their weight loss within one year. Existing diet and exercise fads and crazes fail to address the real-world pressures, limitations and constraints confronting our time-impoverished, energy-drained, stressed and unmotivated populace. The LoneStart Wellness Initiative provides the opportunity for almost immediate modest but meaningful success, which leads to a sense of achievement and empowerment, and through behavior change, to continued success. We call it "Achieve and Believe."
	How does the LoneStart Wellness Initiative work?
	It provides a realistic plan to accomplish four important and achievable goals: Improve the quality of positive nutritional choices. Be logical about the quantity of food consumed. Increase activity levels. Create the environment through knowledge, attitude and the identification of motivational triggers to inspire participants to actively pursue and reach realistic wellness and weight loss goals. We have become Still and Ill and we need to be On the Move to Improve. We pick up our behavioral cues from a society that is overfed, undernourished and sedentary. We need to begin to make sound individual decisions that will serve our long-term self-interest.
