Book Reviews of Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir
Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't know if I'd like this book, but it is now one of my favorites. Jennette Fulda is an excellent writer and is humorous to boot. I don't have as much weight to lose as she did, but this book is such an inspiration. I could relate to many of the topics she covered, except licking the spoon after serving my cat her canned food. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever been, is going through, or will be walking the path to losing weight. Hats off to Jennette!!!

Book Review: Even if you don't have half your weight to lose
Summary: 5 Stars
...you'll still find plenty to identify with in Jennette's entertaining memoir. This isn't a self-help book or a diet instruction manual. There are enough of those already, aren't there?! Instead, it's an honest and funny look at the author's relationship with food and herself, and how she found out what life could be like when she ate better and moved more. A great weight loss memoir that you won't be able to put down (except when you go for a run, which Jennette might just inspire you to do).Book Review: insightful read
Summary: 4 Stars
You never know what someone has experienced when you see them walking down the street. Upon seeing the author as her thinner self you would have no idea that she lost nearly half her body weight. I was especially interested in this story because she did it the old fashion way. She doesn't knock those who have had weight loss surgery but, goes into detail how she decided to change her life. You watch Jeanette break old habits (which DO die hard), change her mindset and self-confidence.Book Review: This is the best weight loss memoir I've read yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been reading a LOT of weight loss memoirs lately, and I can safely say that this is the best one yet. This book has completely changed the way I view my weight loss journey. I've learned from Jennette Fulda that it's not just about the destination, it's about the journey. Oh yeah, and I've gotten a ton of inspiration to exercise.
And of course, Jennette is just so darn likable. She's sweet, funny and down to earth. I love this book! Definitely going to pass this one on.
Book Review: good read
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was suggested to me by a friend who had lost 90 lbs. I put off reading it because I assumed it would be a self-deprecating book making light of a subject that I found deeply personal. This story has a real sense of humor, but it's more than a weight loss book. This is a moving and brave memoir that is about turning your thought process from obstacle oriented, to goal oriented, no matter what those obstacles are, whether they are tangible or imaginary. A great read.
