The 3D book worked really well for me. I have arthritis so I wasn't able to really do much of any workouts to lose weight. With the help of this study I lost 25 pounds in three months which I thought impossible. It helps to do it with a friend to hold you accountable for the progress but it can be done alone. Biblestudy with short daily devotionals, charts, hints and tips help you to get the discipline you need to lose the weight you want and become a better follower of Christ.

This new edition of Carol Showalter's book is excellent. I encourage everyone to read it and learn how to control their weight and be disciplined in their lives.

Your whole Life, by Showalter & Davis, is daily encouragement and reminders to seek God. The daily readings are based upon a scripture passage and the questions at the close of each reading are a catalyst for deeper soul searching. The crux of the book is to cause one to explore with her Creator the whys of her weight/food issues and to seek healing from Him. One is to actively and purposefully pursue a "Whole Life" with God at the center. I highly recommend this book as a great start in beginning and the continuing of the "get real" with yourself and God process!

This is a very motivating book and it works good for a weightloss group or to use individualy. Well worth the purchase.

I was really impressed with the book. It is well written and easy to understand and follow. I really enjoyed the fact that it has scripture that is to be read each day. I would highly recommend this book. I would also recommend doing it as a group, the support is a big help.

It works if you discipline yourself to stick with the plan. Having a group participate is helpful. The original version with the workbook is better.

I constantly struggle with words to describe a book and a program that has benefited every aspect of my life. It is my lifeline to God and has brought peace and contentment to the core of my being. It is the best Bible study, the best support group, the best "diet" group, the best fellowship group I've ever attended.

I was very disappointed in this book. There was very little written in the book about the actual diet part of the plan. I have the original book and workbook and it had alot more information about the different food groups and what goes into each group. I bought this book because I wanted an updated version of the nutrition information but was surprised to find no nutrition information, only Carol's story and the 12 weeks of devotions. There is some good information mixed in with the devotions, but I wanted something that was easy to find and all together. I don't know if the information I wanted was in the journal or not, I guess this was just a way to make more money.

I did this study/diet/life style with a group of women. All I can say is that it was not for me. I don't eat too much or too often. I eat organic fruit and vegetables more often than not. Yet I am overweight. This study assumes you are overweight because you are eating too much and not the right foods. If that is the case for you, and you enjoy studies that are light and fluffy, then this is a great Bible Study with a built in support group as you lose weight. If you can't identify with normal weight problems then you will only feel more alone and frustrated.
