About the Author

The kid who always had to do push-ups on her knees. The kid who had to wear women''s sizes by second grade. I was that kid: overweight and embarrassed, feeling stuck without a way out.

You're Not Alone

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I can''t tell you how many times I hated looking at myself in a dressing room or felt humiliated because I was different from everyone else my age.

My Experience

Unlike the middle-aged doctors and fitness gurus of your parents'' generation, I have gone through the tough times of being the fat kid on the block. Obesity and being overweight is one heck of a situation to get out of if you don''t have the first-hand account of what it REALLY takes to get in shape and be healthy for the rest of your life.

The Path to Health

It takes the obvious sweat and healthy eating. But you have to have the MOTIVATION to achieve what you want! And these 10 rules based on my real 50-pound weight loss in the 8th grade will not only GET you in shape, but KEEP you in shape for life with a powerful combo of physical and mental willpower to transform your life!
