Reviews

[African Americans on the Move Book Club · Rating 5 out of 5]

256 Point is a realistic look at weight loss. With easy to understand advice it will cause you to re-evaluate your thinking on health with motivating alternatives. Chartered after her own personal battle and ultimate weight loss victory, Tamara Jackson takes a stand to remind us that we have to love and become comfortable with ourselves as she simultaneously puts an end to the societal misconceptions that we can all achieve our goals by following the same plan. Not true, as you will learn as you journey through the advice, the research and the lifting oneself higher when you want to stay down. Learning to love yourself and deciding to lose excess weight (for) yourself is key. Thank you Tamara for offering a positive though no less challenging outlook on a problem that has existed too long.
