    Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You: 101 Encouraging Stories about Dieting and Fitness… and Finding What Works for You

    By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Amy Newmark
    400 Pages (Paperback)
    Date Published: December 28, 2010

    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    No one likes to diet, but this book will encourage and inspire readers with its positive, practical, and purposeful stories of dieting and fitness. Readers will find hope, help, and hints on getting fit and staying healthy in these 101 stories from those who have been there, done that, and maintained it. Stories about wake-up calls and realizations, moving more and eating better, self-esteem and support, will motivate any reader looking to start fresh or needing a boost. This is a great book for anyone embarking on a healthier lifestyle.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    I would guess that many people have New Year’s resolutions to loose weight or just re-invent yourself.  It is a book that has 101 encouraging stories from people who are dieting, exercising, reinventing themselves, and more.  They are very quick stories that basically make you realize that if that average-joe can do it then you can do it.  The book is a self-help book in a way, if you want to read the stories that way.  The forward of the story is even written by Richard Simmons!  I liked reading the stories and see different way and motivations that others used.  The book is  great way to start off the year!

      I’ve made a success chart, which I’m following daily. It includes healthy menu items and exercises, as well as glasses of water per day and vitamins!

      I am trying to shape up in 2011 but it is hard. Maybe I need this book to get me motivated. I start a new diet every Monday but it never lasts.

      I’ve been trying to get in shape before we go on vacation in March, but I’m not doing so well. So I would love to win this book!

      I am losing weight, and one thing that I am doing is tracking my food on a daily basis. Keeping this food diary really helps me stay on track. I plan to continue tracking for real success!
