The story of her journey was interesting and a fascinating read. I feel that this book might have been better if she'd fleshed out that angle more and gotten rid of the mechanics and info-dump sections - there's a fair number of errors and exaggerations in her statistics. None of said statistics or the explained biological mechanisms are cited, but searching a phrase on Google brought up the original source, nearly word for word. I feel it would have been much better if she'd skipped the sketchy paraphrasing and just linked to the sources so readers could do their own homework. That said, I did find it motivational.

Just do it!!

This is a fabulous little book! It doesn't take long to read, and is stock of incentive to do this. Losing weight that is. I'm getting started right now!!! Jane Olson is my savior from the millions of diets I've tried. She makes you feel like you're not alone. Can't wait for my success!!

Also Awesome

I wrote my other review for Jane's illustrated book, thinking it was this book, as I was reading both at the same time.
Both were great . I read them both in about 2 +/- hours.
I was laughing as well as relating with her thoughts and observations!
Its a fast, funny and informative read.
Thanks Jane!

Almost a 5

The author accomplished an incredible weight loss of over 120 pounds and her story is interesting with great tips. But I thought her language was crude ie: "to get layed," and lots of typos.

Liked it! Nothing new or flashy, but it's another quick, sensible book. I really wasn't sure about buying it, it's so short, but I'm glad it's in my library now.
