This book truly addresses the heart of the matter for most women when it comes to the fitness struggle and general wellness issues. Crystal Andrus leads her readers through a well explained and sensitively directed week by week transformation process that restores and connects the mind, the body and the spirit. After reading a multitude of books on weight loss and drastic nutrition programs, I feel that this book is the first one to address women's larger issues, such as willpower, self-esteem, and motivation.
This book has changed my life and has helped me finally see that the only person who can restore my life's vitality is me - not a pill, not a significant other and not one certain piece of equipment.
It has changed my life and I highly recommend it to every woman, no matter what age, stage in life or fitness level she may be.

I spent a year in therapy going over my issues. One day i was browsing internet hoping to find another miracle diet (for the 100000000 time). I cam across Crystal's website. I saw a book there I didn't think much of it, but went and bought it anyway. What did I have to lose? Let me tell you, I couldn't put it down and read it all night through. What an amaizing, down to earth lady. I found out so much about myself, my worries, fears and pain in one night than in my entire life. Yes, I was hurt a lot, so what! No one can take my life and joy from me. It all in my hands! I am following your instractions and living my life loving myself for the first time. By the way, I am losing weight too, but who cares anymore!
Thank you so much,

A reader friendly book that you cannot put down. Anyone that follows Crystal's instructions is on the path to a new you!

Anyone who is looking to eat better and improve himself or herself by losing weight, look into this book. Not only do you see results, but you start to understand why you eat so much and how you can control your cravings. I totally recommend this book to everyone.

When you picked up Simply Woman, you took the first important step down the road to weight loss freedom. It's your health, it's your life, it's your decision.

This is a very good program and very easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone as it made for all woman. It does not just focus on outer beauty, it is all about the inside out.."Body", "Mind" and "Spirit". Really well put together. I have tried many programs that have failed. This was different. Along with changing our eating patterns gradually, the author also teaches us about the vitamins that our bodies require in order to lose weight more effictively. This is an amazing book/program. Highly recommend it...5 ***** +++++

I purchased Simply...Woman some time ago and I can honestly say that this book has taken me on a journey that I didn't know I could, or even needed to, take. I've struggled with my weight for years and have always viewed food as the enemy. Through the week-by-week program and the questions posed in this book, I now view myself in a whole new light. I've learned to love the skin I'm in. This book has transformed me mind, body & spirit.

This book is unlike the mainstream over-hyped programs; it works where others have failed. Within the pages of this book are not only keys to weight loss, but keys to discovering the real you. It's about life, what you want and understanding your true self (what makes you tick and why).

Crystal takes you through the program one week at a time. It's not a quick fix but it is doable. This program will not empty your wallet either. There is a workout DVD included free with the book. You don't have to buy any fancy equipment; you can use bottles of water or soup cans for weights. This program also works with other programs such as other fitness DVDs, sports, whatever. There is also a great support group on the website (http://www.crystalandrus.com/forum/index.php).

I highly recommend this book for weight loss and an enriched life.

I sat down figuring that I would do one chapter. Ha, I couldn't put it down! Even when the author clearly instructed the reader to stop and do individual assignments, I kept going, finishing it all in one day. Her writing flowed so beautifully. It was like chatting with a close, trusted friend who knows exactly what you are going through and is able to gently pinpoint, empathize with, and provide guidance in achieving and maintaining optimum health, both mentally and physically. At some point, I do plan on going back and re-reading each chapter the way the book was designed, but for now I am happy just knowing that there is a better, more positive way in dealing with many of life's challenges, especially those that specifically pertain to women.
Needless to say, I've already pre-ordered her newest book, which should be out soon, I hope.

Loved this book! Very clear plan and explains information that you don't typically find in other nutritional or health books. Loved it!!!

This is a wonderful book for anyone needing a jumpstart to a new and healthier life. Crystal is indeed a shining example of health, intelligence and vitality. She has a easy writing style, making the most complex matters easy to understand. (the free video is great as well). I would highly recommend this to anyone lacking the building blocks to living a passionate and rewarding life; body, mind and soul.

So far I absolutely love this book. It's very easy to follow. I don't feel overwhelmed like I have with other books. She guides you slowly and clearly through every chapter and urges you to take one chapter per week. She takes you through a slow process to help you learn about yourself and to change your bad habits into a lifetime change as opposed to going back to your old habits in a month or two.
