Review of From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction (Paperback)

I actually met Carole Carson and THEN read her book.Believe me, seeing the "after" first had a great impact on me.I never could have imagined the "before" Carole. She went from a pleasantly round grandmotherly type to a toned, energetic, athletic and strikingly attractive woman who looks like she could take on the world! Oh, did I mention that I met her on a tennis court in the Hawaiian Islands?My group was so impressed with her play, confidence and effervesence. Imagine my surprise when I read her book. After only a few chapters, I decided, "I want that!"Her ideas are easy to implement and I love hearing, "Are you thinner--you look great!"Better yet, I have new-found energy and confidence. Her story can be your story.You'll laugh out loud as you read how an entire town jumps on board as Carole motivates them to healthy living.

Product Description
This guide chronicles how one woman's very public journey to lose weight mushroomed into a community quest to get fit. At the age of 60, Carole Carson broke the taboo of speaking about obesity whenshe openly admitted her shame and guilt about being fat and out of shape on the front page of the local newspaper. As she recounted her transformation from butterball to butterfly in a weekly newspaper column, she gradually inspired more than 1,000 people in her Northern California community to join her. People who had struggled with weight loss and fitness suddenly found that when they joined with their friends and neighbors they could accomplish together what they could not do by themselves. They learned a completely new way of living anddiscovered that getting fit was fun and in the process lost the equivalent of a school bus! Through the guide's seven-step process, among other practical strategies and resources, readers will find a framework for duplicating the Nevada County Meltdown's successes in their respective communities-their congregation, their office,their friends and family-realizing the power of partnership and revitalizing their ties with each other.
