All Is Forgiven, Move On: Our Lady of Weight Loss's 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville
Review Date: 10/20/2012


I've read both of her books to date...they are very positive, uplifting and simply the best "non-diet" book out there.
After traditional dieting for decades, I am finding that being nice to myself, forgiving myself when I overeat and realizing that I am simply human and mistakes are okay....and simply just focusing on eating healthy...not focusing on any negatives...they simply aren't worth it, and they haven't helped me in the past decades, so why keep doing something that isn't working?
Love her books...the ideas are great, the book is funny, she puts things into perspective and makes it a life journey to get healthier to lose weight.

Read it, you might like it too!

I have been reading books by Susan Mallery for too many years to count. She always writes a very good book.

As a vegetarian and an alternative medicine follower,
I loved how she brought in veganism and alternative medicine. People do react the way it was written...when they hear you are a vegan or choose to follow alternative health practices, if what you follow isn't "mainstream" can seem "weird" or "different" to many people. Well done!

This book is one of her best books. It has so many parts to it...more like life. I loved all of the twists and turns and ups and downs. It draws you in, beautifully.

Wonderful, simply wonderful!

As the first book by this author in this genre, I am impressed. It is well written, covers a lot of ground and shows a very thorough investigation.

I actually expected a lot, because prior books by this author were very well written also.

This book could easily be made into a movie, due to it's wonderful detail...and I know people would enjoy the story.

It kept me wondering who the bad "person" was until the end, which is the making of a great story to me.

The No S Diet: The Strikingly Simple Weight-Loss Strategy That Has Dieters Raving--and Dropping Pounds
Review Date: 10/20/2012
Helpful Score: 1


I have been following this plan 5 months and without any sense of deprivation, I've lost 12 pounds...which I am happy with, I have more to lose, but am liking the pace for me...

I am learning a lot about what it's like to actually be "hungry"...and since I snacked all the time before this plan, I couldn't have told you what being hungry felt like until now....I like knowing this now.

Well written, easy to read and makes sense.

I have read every Nora Roberts book since she started writing about 30 years ago. This is by far the best and I would love for this to be put onto the "big screen". Terrific storyline, great characters and good suspense. Just an excellent book!

I've read all of Kristine Grayson's romance/fairy tale series and this one is a great addition to the rest. It is written in a slightly different style, not bad, just different. It is well thought out, tells us quite a bit about the book writing and publishing world and its a light romance too. Excellent book, would recommend it to anybody wanting a fun book to read about a very fairy tale subject.
