I feel like the author is secretly writing about me!  Can I ever relate to this book - for some parts but not all.  I have lost and maintained for years then during very trying life-issues times gained again.  But all the information necessary for a lifestyle change is packed into this book and it's there to remind you for those times you might fall off the bandwagon, as I have recently.I definitely agree that having fun is a key component to the successful lifestyle change.  Have I had much fun lately?  No.  Have I gained weight.  Yes.These are 3 points listed in the book that I think are powerful and relate to me a lot:1. The most essential lifestyle change to make is to be aware of how much you are eating, and how much is enough.2.  Too often, weight gain is due to mindless eating.  (I do this when I'm stressed)3.  Creative journaling.  This is something I've not really done in the past.  I keep a journal of foods/calories but not surrounding circumstances of day which I think would be very helpful.Lastly, there are some great links for additional information.I haven't been motivated for a long time to tackle the weight issue but this book has gotten me motivated to do just that.Thanks, Joan Marie VerbaReviewer's Book:[...]
