Editorial Review:
What a novel idea: if you want to know how to successfully lose weight, study the real experts--the people who have done it! Registered dietician Anne Fletcher did just that. She surveyed 160 "masters" who succeeded in losing at least 20 pounds and keeping the weight off for at least 3 years. This was the minimum; most lost far more weight--an average of 63 pounds--and more than one-third have kept the weight off for a decade or more.
How did they do it? Thin for Life presents their success stories, strategies, motivation, inspiration, and tricks. Most had tried "many times and many ways" to lose weight before discovering what worked for them and how to prevent and recover from relapses. Some techniques worked for many--such as keeping a food diary and increasing exercise. Others were highly individual and will spur you to do your own creative thinking. Fletcher compiles the "10 keys to success" that emerged most often, lets the masters speak for themselves throughout the book, and fills in additional, valuable information and resources. Whether you have 10 pounds to lose or 100, this book will help you do it--safely, effectively, and permanently. Highly recommended. --Joan Price
In this new edition of the acclaimed bestseller, award-winning nutritionist Anne M. Fletcher incorporates exciting recent scientific research to show that permanent weight loss is far easier than is commonly believed. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100, Thin for Life will help you master your weight problem by sharing the techniques of the real experts -- hundreds of women and men who have lost weight for good.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An incredible confidence booster!
During the process of losing 54 pounds, I began reading "Thin for Life" on the recommendation of a friend. First, this book is not a quick fix for anyone trying to lose weight. If you're a couch potato who is looking for a magic formula for weight loss, look somewhere else. What it is, however, is a sure-fire confidence builder, especially for those of us who have continuously lost weight and then gained it back. I can't count the number of times I've joined groups like Weight Watchers or TOPS and ... Read More
Rating: - Give This to Any Friend Interested in the Subject
This book puts everything I have learned into one body. It is optimistic and encouraging. There really is hope. I have been well on my "weigh" so the book just topped off my efforts. Everyone who hopes to take weight off and keep it off can benefit from collective thinking that this book is.
Rating:  - Pretty good
I like this book. I don't love it. It has interesting mini-stories about people who lost weight and kept it off, just like the title states, but doesn't go into great detail.
Rating: - A true weight loss tool
This book was suggested by my dietitian. I have been impressed with the level of research and authority contained in the book. It is reassuring to see the process that I am going through is the same thing experienced by others and that they were, and remain, successful in their weight loss. I highly recommend this book and consider it a "must have" for anyone who is serious and committed to changing their lives through weight loss.
Rating: - The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good: The advice here from successful weight-losers is wide-ranging, generally useful, and presented in context so that you know something about the person's weight history and particular circumstances. Not all of it is going to be useful for any particular person, of course, but the perspective of successful people is, as another reviewer remarked, like gold.
The bad: About half the book (scattered throughout plus a section at the back) consists of the author's own weight-loss advice ... Read More
