An honest and motivating journey. Reading how she handles stumbling blocks that used to make me quit was just what I needed to face the truth— there are no quick fixes or getting fit without hard work and tracking. But you also don’t have to go on another extreme diet and punish yourself. I didn’t need another expert to tell me what to do, I needed someone who knew how daunting it feels to have a lot of weight to lose and tips on how to navigate the rocky bits. This is that book! I’m going to keep reading it as I go through the journey. Thanks for this book!

This book really inspired me and I think I just clicked! It was like I was reading my story and dreams through hers. I even became excited when she hit the 150's then the 140's! I could feel it! So, started my journey today and one day down and didn't fall off the wagon like I have so many times before. I love the mini goals idea, I really believe I can do this!

I enjoyed reading your story. I'm now 50, and the scale is just stuck at 175. No matter what I do, it won't budge. I havent been as strict about tracking whether I am in a calorie deficit or not. I go more by it looks like I'm im one. I've started using MFP like advised here and was surprised that I'm actually eating my maintenance calories and not at my calorie deficit target. So, I'm going to track this religiously for a month to see if this helps me lose anything. Ive already cut out sugar, dairy, and bread. And thats not working. So, maybe this will get my weight loss started. Thanking for sharing your story!
