"I really think that Kevin has a refreshing perspective on weight loss. I love the personal stories and could really relate to his struggles.

For the first time I learned to identify my own bad habits and best of all, how to stop them myself. Great story telling. You kept me engaged and entertained at the same time. I haven't enjoyed a health book this much since reading Dr. Oz's You on a Diet."  Michelle P. - Austin, TX

If you struggle with yo-yo weight issues then this IS the book you need!" Pat J. - Sacramento, CA

5.0 out of 5 stars Right To The Heart of REAL Weight Loss, January 15, 2012

I've been feeling frustrated with weight loss and diet books for a long time. They give me some formula for eating, I lose a bunch of weight, then a few months later it's all back and it's brought some friends!

This book gets to the heart of weight loss. At heart, weight loss is about my mind, not my body, and this book gave me a clean, clear plan (with a free workbook) for how to prepare myself for the mental challenges of weight loss.

I've noticed a difference after reading this book. Just now (which is what inspired me to write this review), I am sitting here on a cold, gray Sunday morning. Usually I would quickly find myself in the kitchen cooking waffles or cookies or some yummy warm snack. After reading this book, I find that I have new skills that allow me to find other ways to handle that little bit of boredom, loneliness and depression that would usually send me running to the fridge.

I've always known that weight loss is 90% a mental game. This book shows me how to play that game to win. It comes with a helpful workbook, and clear action steps at the end of each chapter that are worth their weight in gold!

I am just started using Kevin Myers' methods and they are working for me (I need to eliminate junk food!). I downloaded his Quick Start Guide (he gives you the website for this) and I find that I stay true to my goals when I write down what they are. Kevin Myers also sent me an email welcoming me and lets you know that he is available for questions, etc. I like the personal touch from the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful format!, November 30, 2011

This review is from: Weight Loss for Wimps: Lose Your Belly Fat, Look Younger and Get Healthy, Sexy and Thin (Kindle Edition)

PLEASE NOTE: The ONLY reason this book did not receive a five star rating from me is because I haven't tried out the process and I don't know how well it will work. I LOVED THE FORMAT!

About the book:
The book is divided into chapters, each on one aspect of this weight loss program with a guide at the end of each chapter outlining the four important ideas the reader should take from the section. These come under the heading of attitude, skills, action, and important notes. This allows the user to go directly to the part of the book with exactly what it is he needs to implement this program.

While the book doesn't bring anything particularly NEW to the table, ;-) he does bring it in a tight, lean format, and brings several strands of weight loss knowledge together making it much easier for the reader to see how they interrelate.

From suggestions on how to avoid excuses through making lists to what to do for exercise, this book has all of it in a short, easy to read format. There are also links to supporting tools, including a journal to make the process more complete.

My take

I actually enjoyed reading the book. When I said it was lean, I mean very lean and to the point. In fact, the whole of this book has less in it than many of the forwards and introductions in other weight loss books. But if you buy the book, you won't be cheated. All the material you need it there with no fat to clog your way. The print is large with lots of white space, making it easy for the reader to find exactly what they want to look up. There is no digging through extraneous material to find the gold nuggets of important or necessary information.

Will this work for someone trying to lose weight? I don't know but I do know Myers covers a lot of material helpful to the process. I also know from personal experience it is easy to lose weight if you eat only when you are physically hungry and do fifteen minutes of exercise a day. Doing that might take more than just deciding to do it. This is where this book may well make a difference. It contains straight forward advice on how to deal with the little demons holding you back and gives practical advice and easy actions to help fight them.

I do recommend this book based on the format and how it ties so many ideas together. I can not comment on how well people will do following the advice in the book but I suspect following the processes in this book drastically improves one's chances at losing weight.
