Anne M. Fletcher
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
Book is motivating my TEEN!!!
What an excellent concept, find teens who were successful at losing weight and determine how they did it. This book has been helpful for my husband and me, and MOTIVATING for my daughter. What I like the most is you see a chart of what things the kids did to lose weight.

Anne M. Fletcher
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
Very helpful for adults, too!
My nutritionist recommended that I get this journal after he'd used it with several teenage clients. I've been writing down my daily food for almost a year and had gotten very tired of it--but using this journal has actually created a renewed sense of purpose for me. I absolutely adore the focus on the positive in this journal, which gives me a much better attitude overall. I also like that ...

Dr. Phil McGraw
Free Press, 2004
Excellent Weight Loss Guide
A visit to a doctor just over two months ago revealed that I was obese, with a high body fat percentage and low muscle mass level. It was made clear to me that unless I reduced my weight from 80 kg (176 lbs) to at least 70 kg (154 lbs), I was at high risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or stroke. I had to reduce my weight and hence I needed a good book to guide me ...
