Book Description

September 1999
A unique motivational and diet/health success story on how one man lost 80 pounds and kept it off-from the spokesperson behind Lite Bites(r), one of the biggest selling product lines on QVC. Also included are tips on how to position a product for sale on QVC. QVC TV personality and Lite Bites(r) national spokesperson Marvin Segel struggled for years with low self-esteem, a complicated relationship with his powerful, accomplished father (the founder of QVC and the Franklin Mint), a poor body image (he weighed over 300 pounds!), and many career starts and stops. Then, three years ago, he found Lite Bites(r) dietary supplement bars and other products that provide nutritional support in an overall program for weight management. Lite Bites(r) became the means for getting his body in shape and his life back on track. He lost more than 80 pounds-and has kept it off-learned to be an on-air TV presenter, and succeeded in making the Lite Bites(r) Fat-Fighting System, produced by AMBI Inc., one of the most successful product lines ever on the world's biggest home shopping channel. Included in this book are:

Marvin's own story: his life before QVC and the inspirational story of how he overcame being known as "the boss's son" and other hurdles that affected his self-esteem;

A description of the 4-step Lite Bites(r) Fat-Fighting System (Planning, Food, Fitness, Attitude), how it works, and how it helped the author and thousands of his viewers lose weight, regain health, and create a new, positive outlook on life;

An insider's look at QVC's daily operations, from the on-air perspective of someone who knows how it works and how to get things done; and,

A special section on how potential vendors might position their products for QVC, and (quite possibly) change their lives-with real-life stories of those who've done it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life-changing book for all ages., September 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Uphill All the Way: How QVC & Lite Bites Helped Me Lose Weight, Gain Confidence, and Become a Successful Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
I could really relate to this book. I grew up in a home with two perfectionists and as a result, suffered low self-esteem. Mr. Segel also did that, but totally turned his life around. I, too, tried every diet that came down the pike and always put the weight back on and more. This product works now, and can work for you for the rest of your life. The book is a must-read for anyone searching to take control of their weight and/or their life. Let Mr. Marvin Segel take you there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great deal of informative information, September 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Uphill All the Way: How QVC & Lite Bites Helped Me Lose Weight, Gain Confidence, and Become a Successful Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
When I first read the book, my thoughts were, how in the world could one person be so diversified! The book had a great deal of good information on how one can overcome being "labeled" in our society and how you can indeed turn you life around. He had good inspirational and motivating stories of weight problems and how he overcame the odds to beat them. I very much enjoyed his humor and down to earth approach. The book was right on target on the issues facing overweight people. When I started to read it...I had a hard time putting it down...well worth the read!

4.0 out of 5 stars a reader from Chicago, IL, and frequent QVC guest, February 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Uphill All the Way: How QVC & Lite Bites Helped Me Lose Weight, Gain Confidence, and Become a Successful Entrepreneur (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed the book. As I have had the pleasure of meeting Marvin in person, I was excited to read the book. It was very entertaining and REAL! I picked it up on the airplane and did not put it down until the plane landed. I am a frequent guest appearing on QVC and Marvin's details about the "greenroom" were honest and quite revealing. Anyone who watches QVC or any shopping network will find the book to be quite fun and motivating. Pick it up!
