SECRET INSIGHTS OF SUCCESSFUL LOSERS! March 25, 2008
34 out of 35 found this review helpful

Taken from the TV show The Biggest Loser, where people lose weight and change their lives, this book gives you the "success secrets" the show's participants used to transform their bodies. This book reveals the contestant's insights and how they personally overcame their cravings, resistance to exercise, and desire to revert back to old lifestyle habits. They also describe how they kept going during plateaus and into maintenance. Along with diet and exercise tips and daily lifestyle habits, the book has the contestant's testimonials and photos. The contestants are generous with their stories, victories, and advice in their testimonials and quotes that are scattered throughout the book. You get the feeling they want to help others through struggles and onward to weight-loss victory.

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

Simple baby steps to success March 23, 2008
27 out of 28 found this review helpful

The Biggest Loser Success Secrets is great because it has testimonials, photos, and baby steps to follow to inspire a person to success. You can easily open the book, look at a before and after photo, and be fired up again to stick to your diet and exercise. Huge successes all happened with daily faithful habits that snowballed into major changes. This isn't a book you have to read cover to cover, just pick it up and LOOK at it. Most anyone should be able to look at the photos, quick tips, habits to cultivate, and say, "if they can do it, I can do it." I think one of the biggest appeals is that these successes are everyday people like you, me, us, and our families and friends, NOT superstars or supermodels.

The book is good reference to keep with you for bedtime or early morning inspiration. Keep one in the lunchroom at work too--great way to keep all the dieters motivated. This one's a keeper!

The television show motivated my own weight loss program. It took 1 year for me to lose 103 pounds & reach my current(and final)weight of 133. I just bought the book and found MANY great weight loss tips. It is great fun to look thru it & find my favorite "contestants." There are recipes that the contestants wrote themselves. (No foolish ingredients, like 1/2 cup leeks or 1 teaspoon plum sauce. What do you do with the rest of the leek?) Many, many tips are listed. Some tips from the members & some from the trainers. It is the kind of book that I like to thumb through while eating lunch at work. (Husband calls it "bathroom" reading.) I would recommend the book to anyone who needs a little inspiration with their weight loss plan.

INSPIRING April 28, 2008

Having watched the show the last two seasons and enjoying familiarity with the persons in the book has helped me tremendously. I have lost 15 pounds since purchasing, reading and implementing the tools in this book, I have plenty more to go and intend to coninue to use the tools in this book. I don't think it would have made as big an impression had I not been a Biggest Loser viewer..that makes a difference to be sure...but if you are a viewer and want to lose weight the BL way...this book is terrific!
