I mean, weight issues transcend gender and age. There are 14 year old girls who feel so ashamed about their weight and 24 year old guys who do the same, but they don't focus on the fact that they need to care for their health, not just because they don't want a paunch when they wear a bikini. This woman did it the right way and for the right reasons. Good on her. Oh, and nice book review. I ordered it from Amazon after reading your post. Good work.

Once again you post something that never gets to a point where it is boring, I honestly read every word!! Anyhow you done quite a good review and I am sure Jenette Fulda would be pleased. I have never struggled with weight, but my husband has. Being Greek you weren't healthy unless you were quite a chubby baby. So as a child he was obese weighing in at 118 kgs until his early teens. Through healthy eating and exercise he managed to drop all the weight off. But with having been obese it is a struggle throughout his life because you never get rid of those extra fat cells. They shrink but don't decrease in number and everytime you fluctuate they multiply making it each time that much more difficult. So if he eats late at night he literally gains weight and is bloated the next morning! I am not a fan of the ever growing and popular lap ban surgery. I believe it has a lot of health risks and the weght comes off to quickly, although it is ones choice. So when I read Jennette's story I was so proud of her, I kept spinning her 3D pictures around. I am glad to see she is trying to inspire others, wishing her all the success with her blog and book! Hayleyjade. Hello Jemi!

It's this whole ..college thing getting in my way again ;) But you'll see my around @ Kelly: I agree with you and ah, it's a pleasure to spread the good news a blogger is experiencing with others! I'm one of those so never hesitate to share something new and exciting with me! @ Barbara: Your hunch is very correct.. behind the scenes I'm developing my master plan (ok developing ideas are daring to go out on those limbs) for InMyHeels..

I generally believe that the lifestyle one must have to get that heavy is usually so severe that small changes will make a big difference right away. For sure, the last 10-20 pounds is the hardest, which is where I'm at. Great-written review though! I read every word, and I rarely do more than scan reviews.

I came to visit expecting another of you heart warming posts, but instead I see you have expanded your writings to include book reviews. This sounds like an amazing book from an extraordinary woman. She gets kudos from me for sharing her weight loss publicly. Undoubtedly she will be an inspiration for many. Thank you JEMi for a great book review. Something tells me this is just the beginning of other great things we'll see on your site. Hi JEMi,

Jennette has accomplished somthing so phenomenal I'm sure this would be an inspiring read. I can't imagine what it must be like to live obese rather than just fat and lumpy. Your true self would forever be pushed behind your dress size and I bet so many people would never take the time to really get to know you. Even then, you'd probably still be put into some kid of category as the "fat one". I'll be checking this out for sure. And good on you for promoting a fellow blogger! :) Kelly <em>Kelly@SHE-POWER's last blog post..<a href='http://she-power.com/2008/04/10/how-i-lost-9kg-and-still-ate-chocolate-cake-3/' rel="nofollow">How I Lost 9kg and Still Ate Chocolate Cake (3)</a></em> Jemi
