Book Review: Motivational Stories for the Listener
Summary: 2 Stars

This is a collection of stories for a reader interested to lose weight and live healthy. Although this is a promotional book for Weight Watchers product, these stories may be beneficial to many readers. The book is divided into nine chapters but there are only three sections; the bulk of it is about women, and two small chapters; one about men and another for teams. There are two or three page profiles of each individual who lost weight by enrolling in a Weight Watchers program where they got counseled to control dietary habits and include some form of daily exercise program. A combination of diet and exercise seems to work for most people in this catalogue of profiles. There are some interesting examples; Marie, 41 of California lost 100 pounds by combining exercise and eating habits and using counseling of Weight Watchers group leader. She claims healthy eating and sensible portions are important. Sandy, 33 of New York lost 95 pounds by dieting alone. Brenda, 40 of Wisconsin is an amazing example of how much you can lose weight; she lost weight from 451 to 180 pounds (page 42). Audrey, 39 of Georgia widowed at a young age turned her life around by losing 93 pounds (page 55). Kathy, 34 of Texas lost 167 pounds; Sara, 38 of Pennsylvania lost over 143 pounds in a year and half. Tom McCarthy, 39 of New Jersey lost 137 pounds in about a year. Age appears to be irrelevant for losing weight as Barbara, 60 of Florida lost over 82 pounds (page 96). Jan, 70 of New Jersey who has travelled to 40 countries and eat various ethnic foods lost weight to feel healthy and neutralize the effects of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes (page 110). Diana, 66 of California lost 35 pounds juggling her successful career as a CEO of her own software company (page 113). Wayne, of Arkansas at 64 lost an amazing 203 pounds (page 194). Losing weight gradually is perhaps healthier and natural than losing weight too quickly. It needs mental and behavioral changes and strong support from family members such as mother or a spouse would be helpful as proved in few cases. Losing weight by team work is good for motivation and exercising together. Couples or friends could team up positively and this is illustrated in several examples in the last chapter.

There are number of publications by Weight Watchers and most of them are cooking books with some healthy choices for the menu. Losing weight by exercise and diet is a common theme and numerous books are available in literature that caters to the needs of each individual.

Note: The page numbers refer to the "advanced uncorrected proof (galley)." This copy was made available under the Amazon Vine program.
