As someone who has been overweight for years, this is just the book I needed to kick myself into gear and change my life. The book is not about dieting, but about making lifestyle changes and sticking to them. Dr. Phil's voice is strong throughout the book, in fact you can almost hear that Texas accent as he speaks to you about things you need to do to achieve success. This book, coupled with Dr Phil's food guide, is a wonderful start to shedding those pounds permanently.

I think this book has some good ideas for how to refocus your life when it comes to eating. Dr. Phil has taken ideas from others out there but he has out them into activities you can follow in a step by step way. He is one to stress the idea that you need to follow the key concepts in order. Not really a quick weight loss book. I know I am still working on step 4 after one year but is has been helpful in targeting weight loss. I started last September with the steps outlined in this book. YOu might be faster than me but I have a lot to loose.

I am a book junkie. I love reading and learning new things. After giving birth to my third child I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was over weight and needing to change.
I went to one of my families favorite spots. The book store. As my husband and kids were off in the kids section I went to the weight loss area.
I have always thought Dr. Phil was full of himself but I thought I would give him a chance and see what this man had to say about weight loss.
It was the worse spent 5.99 I have ever spent and I bought a pet rock when I was young. It is hard to take weight loss advice from some one who himself needs to loose some pounds as well. But he is very clear that he feels fine with his weight. That he don't need to loose any. I would disagree and could not take the man seriously. How could anyone.
