This review is from: Now That You've Lost It: How to Maintain Your Best Weight (Paperback)

If you are ready to ask the tough questions this is the book for you. The only drawback is that they use Oprah as an example many times, and Im not an Oprah fan. This book is set up in a workbook style and will be one that I refer to and work in often.
