I discovered the Lean Plate club column (every Tuesday in the Washington Post) & the Lean Plate web chat (12-2pm Tuesdays) a year ago. I look forward to Tuesdays, knowing Help & support as well as fresh ideas are on the way via the column & web chat. This is what I find in Sally Squire's book: good common sense advice, inspiration & help . There are short tests you take that help you see where you are- motivation-wise & where you are in your (in my case) lifelong struggle with weight issues. There is solid nutritional information. There are recipes for food & exercise. This book is packed with facts and do-able suggestions for how to approach and maintain your own weight loss plan. Sally Squires approaches the facts in a fun, no-nonsense- positive way. I highly recommend this book. I keep it with me all the time. I lost a lot of weight (100 pounds) & reached my goal over a year ago, but the struggle now to maintain new habits & keep the weight off is very challenging & difficult. This book gives me inspiration & hope.

Hey, I just picked up this book after following Sally's columns in The Washington Post for the last few years and just want to say to others that Sally really gets it -- the ups and downs of weight loss, the challenge to get rid of my "spare tire" and eat well. It's refreshing to have someone so knowledgable and supportive.

THis book encourages the reader with tips from people who have successfully lost weight by making permanent changes to their diet, caloric intake and who are thrilled with the results they have had. I can assure the readers who don't like to exercise that they would be surprised by what they are accomplishing by the end of the eight week program. You are gently, subtly coaxed into increasing your energy level. Sally also carefully selected the recipes which are easy to prepare but delicious beyond what you thought healthy eating should be.
