Product Description

A note from the author:
Like you, I have lost weight and gained it back. I have started exercise programs and not stuck to them. But, in 1979, I lost weight and have kept it off since then.
If you also have tried to lead a healthy lifestyle and found your efforts didn’t work in the past, I have good news: I have found that the secret to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is having fun.
Success comes through having fun.
Isn’t that great?
The motto that inspires me is: “Do one thing every day that makes you happy.” Why? Because when you participate in activities that are fun for you, you’ll stick with them. When you find nutritional, healthy foods that you enjoy, you’ll eat them. When you are spending your time on fun activities, you won’t have the time to be stressed (and you’ll avoid emotional eating)!

4.0 out of 5 stars A highly readable book for those trying to lose weight, January 16, 2010
This is a short book of just 32 pages but short is sweet in this case and is packed with very interesting and useful advice. The author herself has successfully gone through a program and more importantly could stay on that and keep her weight from increasing again! So, the book is in that sense very authentic and her sincerity comes through.

She stresses that any weight loss program has to be so designed that you can stick to it for the rest of your life. She stresses on the obvious but often overlooked fact that one cannot go back to their earlier life style after successfully losing weight if one wants to keep it that way!

The style is highly readable and you can read it in one sitting.

Highly recommended for all weight and health conscious people or their friends who want to gift the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book on Losing Weight, February 13, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weight Loss Success: How to Lose Weight and Have Fun Doing It (Kindle Edition)
I have now read through about 20 books on weight loss, and none of them pointed out that losing weight should be "fun".

I will be taking a lot of what this book has talked about and applying to my life. I recommend this book to anyone looking to lose weight and keep it off!

5.0 out of 5 stars Weight Loss is Fun, February 7, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weight Loss Success: How to Lose Weight and Have Fun Doing It (Kindle Edition)
I've read tons of weight loss books, but this is the first one I've read that talks about -- or even mentions -- fun. The author talks at length about the importance of having fun while you're losing weight as well as afterward.

I couldn't agree more. Along those same lines, I realized several years ago that I was telling myself repeatedly that I "hate working out." My mom always said that, so I said it too. But it didn't match reality -- I had danced ballet for eighteen years and loved every minute of it, and no one can tell me ballet isn't exercise. Once I stopped telling myself that I hate exercise I found lots of other activities I enjoyed. And in enjoying them -- in having *fun* -- I find it a lot easier to workout consistently.

I plan to take the advice in this book and look at more ways to add fun to my weight loss efforts. If you need to lose weight too, I recommend this book.
