I joined Weight Watchers 5 months ago and I've lost 25 pounds. Now I've hit a plateau and am feeling very discouraged - especially since I have 100 more pounds to go! I bought this book out of desperation, and it has truly helped me. In plain language, it breaks down eight tools for living the life you desire and achieving your goals: winning outcomes, empowering beliefs, anchoring, storyboarding, mental rehearsing, motivating strategy, reframing, and positive self talking. (Now, if they'd just come out with this book on tape, I could listen to it when I workout.) Now, I'm able to look at my behaviors and see where I can make changes. So, if you're struggling, get this little book and don't give up!

UPDATE: 7/23/06 - 35 pounds lost! I went through a long period with no weight loss, and it was depressing. But I didn't give up on myself. (And don't you either!) So, I'm still a Weight Watcher (always counting those points), and I still refer to the "8 Tools for Living" when I'm feeling stressed about the progess of my weight loss. I just keep in mind that everyday I am getting fitter and feeling stronger, and each hurdle I overcome is a step closer to achieving my goals.

UPDATE: 10/25/06 - 52 pounds lost.

UPDATE: 12/07/10 - Maintaining a 70 pound weight loss. :-) Woohoo!

The book went deeper into each step of the tools for living. It gives great steps for the 8 ways to get what you want from weight watchers. The book is a good size to put in your carry on when you travel.

Weight Watcher Tools for Living Companion is a handy reference for members. The information it contains, however, is usually discussed at meetings so it really isn't imperative that you own one. I like it because it refreshes my memory about thr tools. It is easy to read.

I was hoping this book would go into more detail and explain the concepts of the tools for living. They are a collection of motivational and behavoir modification techniques and I was hoping I could find out more about them. The book was short and the treatment was light.

This is a great weight watchers book. Its the old program but the rules they have in the book can be used everyday in order to help you lose the weight. LIke a guidelines to follow.

I found this book to be an invaluable tool in my weightloss efforts. I use the tips and techniques all the time.

This is a small softcover outline of the Weight Watchers principles that are taught week by week at Weight Watcher meetings.

The book came quickly and was in excellent condition. Thank you for such great service.
