Judy Molnar was always the tallest kid in the class and always played sports, mainly basketball and volleyball. By college, she was 6'1", 180 pounds, and very fit. Yet her coach saw her as "a large woman with a weight problem" and tried to put her on a 1,200 calorie diet to get her to an impossible 150 pounds. The result was that Molnar became scale-obsessed and started to hate training and working out. She quit sports, took a sedentary job after college, and ate herself up to a weight more than the 350 pounds her scale registered. You Don't Have to Be Thin to Win is the story of her "journey from the couch to the course" to reclaim her health, and her "personal recipe of goal setting, education, enthusiasm, and a fair bit of sweat." She shares excerpts from her journal about her triumphs, setbacks, and day-to-day efforts toward fitness. Her lifestyle completely changed--her fitness training became the center, and a few years after making her change, she was racing and doing triathlons. She dropped 130 pounds, went "from doughnut junkie to healthy and fit," and became Rosie O'Donnell's Chub Club coach. After telling her personal story, she helps you move more and eat better with motivational strategies, tips for getting in shape, descriptions of a few different activities and how to start, and nutritional facts. This book is so motivating that you're likely to get up from the couch and read it on the treadmill. --Joan Price
From AudioFile
At six foot one, the author was 330 pounds when she committed herself to getting in shape. Now she's a marathon runner, triathlon participant, and TV fitness guru and, in this program, a marvelous teacher and motivator. She tells a personal story of shame and disappointment about her weight, but it's a story of achievement. It's about her whole self and her shared successes, rather than about escaping pain. Especially valuable is her advice about exercise, fitness programs, coaches, sports, goal-setting, nutritional eating, and exercise physiology. It's very thorough and delivered with a positive heart, especially the sections about overcoming negativity and developing good grocery-shopping habits. This is a wonderful success story that everyone will love.
