As a psychologist at a Weight Management Center, I was interested in seeing what strategies the author used to lose weight and maintain the loss. The two authors cut to the chase and refuse to succumb to gimmicky weight loss techniques. They are clear in the role that our thoughts have on our ability to break bad food habits and lose weight for good. This is a non-deprivation based program in which there is no "good" or "bad" food--any food can be helpful or hurtful depending on what you do with it. I especially like the attention given to addressing those "I blew it" thoughts that can lead to a binge. This is a MUST-READ for anybody who has struggled with losing weight and can't figure out why they are "stuck." Looking at your thoughts and how they affect emotional eating and eating habits is the key to breaking through your weight-loss roadblocks.

I have have recently lost 40 pounds (hit my goal 8 months ago) and I could not put this book down. It was like they read my mind. It addresses everything from the fear of gaining the weight back, how to handle compliments, how to handle people who try to sabotage your efforts, and much more. This is a must read for anyone who has lost weight and is now trying to maintain their new healthy weight!

Having recently lost 75 pounds, I knew that my biggest challenge was still in front of me: Keeping it off. I combed through the book shelves and Amazon and became disappointed with the few books on maintaining weight. Then I found "Joining the Thin Club". From the very beginning, I knew that I have to read this, and I was glad I did. The author speaks from personal experience and makes a lot of sense.

There is a definite bias towards the female reader, but men will benefit from this book as well. Read it, then re-read it. This book is part of my arsenal in the fight to keep my weight down for the remainder of my life.

A great big THANKS to the author. You are helping millions to stop the yo-yo dieting syndrome, forever.

Just reading the back of this book was a powerful and resonant experience. Working through the book and examining my own life has been monumental.

This book is a God-send, and I haven't found anything else out there that addresses the topics that it does. THANK YOU, Judith, for having the courage to write as you did. I think it should be required reading for anyone who has lost weight, and groups like Weight Watchers should actively encourage people to read it, because losing weight IS so much more than a physical change.

Joining the Thin Club is a fantastic book with great motivation for those that have lost their weight and also for those that are still trying. I haven't had a chance to finish the book yet, but what I have read makes a lot of sense and is a must for those that are on their way to a thinner body.

I lost a hundred pounds and this book helped me to accept my new body.
