Thin for Life Daybook: A Journal of Personal Progress-Inspiration & Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept It Off [Bargain Price] [Paperback] Review

Thin for Life Daybook: A Journal of Personal Progress-Inspiration & Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept It Off [Paperback]After reading the reviews for this journal, I placed it on my wishlist and received it in the mail today.I am very disappointed with it.
There are many good points about the book:It has a complete year in one book, the quotations/inspirations, the recipes.However, the space to record your daily intake is way too small.There is no room to write your daily weight, the date, the calories, fat, protein or carb grams....or points, if you're doing Weight Watchers as I am.
The book is broken down by weeks.The first page for the week is Weekly Wisdom.It's great.Very motivational, informative, and excellent for a journal. This section is reminisce of the author's wonderful book, Thin for Life.The next page is Weekly Forecasts.It has a section for Goal(s) for this week, Anticipated Obstacles, Possible Solutions, Exercise Plan and finally Try this for Supper.That all takes up one page.Then The next two pages are the journal for the week. The first page of the journal has room for Monday through Thursday, with each broken down into Morning, Afternoon and Evening What I Ate sections. The bottom of each section is Exercise/Accomplishments.This is where the journal goes bad, because there is such inadequate space to write here.I'm sure I will be writing outside of the margins to include weight, date, water, and vitamin. Finally, the second page has Friday through Sunday, and at the bottom of the second page of the journal, there is a What Really Helped This Week section.I think this could be very useful; however, I'd much rather have that extra space for my journal entries.
Overall this is a well-organized, thought-provoking journal.It's just not something to use if you write big, can't see small print, and do many calculations regarding calories or points.
If they could possibly enlarge the food journaling section, this would be an excellent choice.

The One-Day Way: Today Is All the Time You Need to Lose All the Weight You Want [Hardcover] Review

The One-Day Way: Today Is All the Time You Need to Lose All the Weight You Want [Hardcover]I recently bought this book for Kindle and am not quite finished.But I can say that if you are trying to lose weight and become the best, all around, healthy person you can be then Chantel Hobbs' story will truly inspire you.I've been on a weight loss, training journey for about 14 months now and Chantel's first book, Never Say Diet, has been a constant reference for me along the way.This is a woman who with the demands of life like marriage, family, 4 kids, sick parents, etc. had the dedication and determination to start excercising and change the way she ate and how she went from 349 lbs to now RUNNING MARATHONS.Even though some of her writing seems directed toward women, I am a 48 yo male and I too have been encouraged by her story and successes.I'm not running marathons...YET...but I have dropped almost 80 lbs and am running 5Ks on a regular basis.What I've picked up so far from The One Day Way seems to be a simplification of some of the principles I learned from Never Say Diet.We can't look at life's challenges, such as weight loss, and focus on how high the 'mountain' might be and get discouraged that we can never reach the top.The only way to get to the top of the 'mountain' is by taking one step at a time.That's what you will learn from Chantel...take One Day at a Time and before long you are climbing up the 'mountain' and if you keep climbing you can reach the top!

In summary, read BOTH books and see how Chantel can help you change your life.

The book instructs you to keep a daily journal of what you eat as well as what exercise you do.The diet is based on calorie control and has 3 main meals and 2 snacks.A typical day's menu is:one egg with turkey bacon for breakfast; cherries, cottage cheese, and almonds for morning snack; a spinach salad with skinless chicken breast and half an apple for lunch; Greek-style plain, fat free yogurt with blueberries for a snack; and grilled salmon with steamed quinoa and broccoli and a peach for dinner.If you want recipes, you need to get the "Biggest Loser Cookbook". The Biggest Loser plan itself is described in "The Biggest Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health, and Life--Adapted from NBC's Hit Show".This book focuses more on motivation and techniques rather than nuts and bolts diet and exercise.

We all know that the key to weight loss success is motivation and managing the mind.This book does a great job of reminding us of this truth.The book mentions a "moment" and "triggering event" that finally pushes people over the edge and awakens their desire to lose weight even if it means making substantial changes in their life and giving up their comfortable but bad habits.The book affirms that the key to weigh loss is managing our mind and behavior, not just eating and exercise.The testimonials in the book are heartfelt and inspiring.This is a great book for motivation!Debra Lawrence, author of THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams
