Review Date: 5/10/2013


Interesting concept and a good resource for support as you're starting a weight loss program. Basic, common sense.

I thought the book started slow and almost stopped reading it (something I rarely do). I stuck with it and am so happy I did. I really liked this book!!! Quirky with a message. Made me smile.

I was disappointed in this book. Lots and lots of gossip and rumors but weak on facts. No interviews, etc. yet Mr. Eliot interprets the thoughts and actions of the people he is writing about. It's an easy read and is interesting; just too much unfounded gossip for me.

Not my cup of tea. I read about a third of the book and just felt I wasn't getting much of anything out of it. I understand it's a classic in this genre and so I'm sure many people would disagree with me.

The Don't Sweat Guide to Weight Loss: Feeling at Peace with Your Body (Don't Sweat Guides)

I was a little underwhemed with this book. It's a good, basic reminder of weight loss motivations but no new earth shaking info.
