okay, i'm new to this, but here it goes: I am reading this book (in the subject line) - i'm on day 4 so far. it isn't a diet, but information to use with a healthy diet, to help you stick with it and stay focused - it's behavioral/cognitive therapy. it gives you something to work on every day, and I am supposed to have a diet coach - someone who I can turn to if i'm having problems, get advice or just positive reinforcement, someone to be accountable to in a way. so, I was thinking of writing on here, in the journal of my struggles and successes and hopefully get some support, and maybe encourage others. I would definitely recommend looking into the book - it is awesome already. has anyone else read it? well, hopefully i'll be writing in my journal soon, and i'd love to hear from people!

Hi! I have the book and it is currently collecting dust. I'm looking forward to reading it now that you said it's helpful. I'm in a master's program and don't have too much extra time to read, but I want to get to it over my break. I will try to check your journals to see how it's going for you. Good luck!

yeah, I know how it is - I'm in school too, just part time though and working full time. it's great because you only read 2 or 3 pages a day and you can stretch out each day to a couple days if you need. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)

Well, I don't know if you are still following the book, but I've been reading it and it has helped me so far. I always focused too much on the food/exercise aspect of it and never considered the mental blocks to loosing weight.

Looking forward to reading this it was suggested in the Food Addicts Anon post. Went to library and they are ordering it. Don't forget ask the librarians to get it if it is not on shelf.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
