    <![CDATA[In January 2001 Shauna Reid was twenty-three years old and twenty-five stone. Determined to turn her life around, she created the hugely successful weblog &quot;The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl&quot; and, hiding behind her Lycra-clad roly-poly alter-ego, her transformation from couch potato to svelte goddess began. Today, 8,000 miles, seven years and twelve-and-a-half stone later, the gloriously gorgeous Shauna is literally half the woman she used to be.<br/><br/>In turns hysterically funny and heart-wrenchingly honest, &quot;The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl&quot; follows the twists and turns of Shauna's lard-busting adventure as she curbs the calories and learns to love the gym. There are travel tales from Red Square to Reykjavik, plus romance and intrigue as she meets the man of her dreams during a pub quiz in Glasgow. As her UK visa rapidly runs out, will she be deported back to Australia or will love triumph?<br/><br/>Entertaining and action-packed, this is the uplifting true story of a young woman who defeated her demons and conquered her cravings to become a weight-loss superhero to inspire us all.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[An inspiring and motivational read. This is one book that I will keep and re-read time and time again. There is a lot of Shauna that I see in myself and I share her experiences and emotions. What I like also is that Shauna is human and comes across as being human too. That may sound ridiculous but s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43793335">more...</a>]]></body>
