UPDATE: I did make plantains today and they were great! Thanks for the recipe idea, Seth. I just fried them in a little oil and salted them. Yum.

A little new year's resolution fun. Yeah, the stories are mildly motivating, but I'd rather watch a "Biggest Loser" marathon anyday.

I just started Weight Watchers (again) this week so I thought this might be an interesting read for me as I start the journey again. The book was okay. I enjoyed it for the most part. I think its always interesting to read about other peoples journeys. There were a few interesting tips that I picked up while reading it but I'd expected to get more out of it than I did. There are a variety of different stories here which is good but there is also a lot of the same stuff over and over again. Which...more
I read this book from cover to cover (Kindle Edition) and found the stories quite inspirational. Many of the tips, however, are tried and true and didn't find many that I hadn't heard before. I think it's good to have this in your arsenal when you find yourself veering off the path of a healthy lifestyle. Note that the kindle edition doesn't have chapters and therefore you basically can't skip ahead or go back easily. So highlighting a bit in each story is a must in order to create artificial d...more
My fear was that this book would read like an extended Weight Watchers advertisement or brochure. In actuality, it was very informational and the stories were useful and heartfelt. I came away feeling motivated enough to sign up for Weight Watchers again. This book would be helpful to anyone trying to lose weight, whether or not they were planning on using Weight Watchers. The book features a "takeaway tip" at the end of each story, which I found to be particularly helpful. I'm gl...more
These stories are interesting to read. They can definitely help with motivation while on the program. The stories are very diverse, which is good, but also not good because you won't identify with all or even most of the writers.

great inspirational stories from people that want to help themselves. quick read and very motivating!
Great inspiration to keep going on the healthy path!
As a Weight Watchers member, I found the stories inspiring and the tips helpful. I like reading about success stories, but I came to find that they are also appearing on the Weight Watchers website and in the magazine, so I'm glad I borrowed the book. I guess if you wanted a reference with the stories all in one place, this would be a good buy.
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in like 2 weeks because, I kept it in my van while waiting for the kids to get out of school I'd read it. BEST 15.00 I have ever spent!! It's just little 2-3 page story's on how other people in Weight Watchers have done and thier struggles and non struggles. If your on Weight Watchers and having a few issues or in that stage where you dont' think it's working get this book.
I am the kind of person who reads about another person's success and it motivates me, so this book has been a good read so far. Not to mention that each story is only 3 or 4 pages, so if you are someone who gets interrupted a lot (like me!) it's kind of nice!
A fun read, actually. It was rather inspiring to read these stories. However, I felt they were too short. I guess I wanted each story to not be quite so short. I wanted the novella version of each of their stories.
