You know you have a weight problem when you work in a sporting goods store and your boss asks you to stand where the new jumbo-sized tent display is going to go, just so he can get an idea of how much space he'll need.
Van Whitfield's Something's Wrong with Your Scale provides a comical look at the journey of a man struggling with his weight. Through the course of the novel, Whitfield points out what's wrong with the numbers people see when they look at a scale.

I have to say, I really enjoyed this. While I do not have weight issues, I grew up and have continued to be surrounded by those who do- and all the accompanying torture that comes with it: the diet fads, the comments and ridicule, and the sheer personal chaos that ensues. This is a delightful look at all of that. In ways it is reminiscent of Weiner's Good In Bed, but it is coming from a different perspective (an African American male). Fun and poignant at the same time.

I cannot remember the details of the book, how I felt or when I completed. But I am sure was a good read (or since I cannot remember you read it). I think it is a romantic comedy about a guy trying to lose weight to win his ex girlfriend back....read it.

If you have the gaining weight blues or just need to laugh about worrying issues in your life or that you see in the world. This is the book to make you smile. Funny and thought provoking.

Comical and amusing way to look at your weight problem. I really felt for the guy but admire his decision not to let a person's weight influence if you are their friend or not.

Cute, funny, romantic comedy about losing weight from a male perspective. Several incidents had me laughing out loud.
Very light, mindless reading for chilling out.

OK I have to admit I skipped 100 pages to get to the end. Great story but a little slow and predictable for my tastes.

Quick read for my book club. Some of the dialogue and writing was very elementary, but the storyline was fun.

A romantic comedy that made me feel good. When I had to put the book down their was usually reminants of laughter on my face. I think it is this author's best book thus far.
