I would like to compliment the authors for collaborating on a book that is very informative and yet such a joy to read. I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book; not just another book full of statistics, but a personal and funny story of a couple living with the commitment to help one another through the struggles of life. The personal experiences that Jan shares of the trials and tribulations of being heavy are very heart warming and so humorous, nice to know I'm not alone. If any one is considering bariatric surgery or just fighting the battles of being heavy, this book is a must read. Great Job! Thank you.

Please authors....write more...

I had weight loss surgery six months ago and my motivation was at an alltime low. I had heard about Jan and Bart because of a wonderful protein shake they distribute, and then was told about their book. I bought Jan and Bart's book to give myself a shot in the arm for a boost in my morale. Wow! I did not realize that it would transend to every aspect of my life. They taught me how to live life to the fullest, and to think of life as an adventure. I got more out of this book than I got out of a year of counseling. I was lost so deeply in the experience that several hours passed yet it felt like only five minutes. This is the first book that I actually took notes and stopped to reflect on my life while reading it. This was a life altering experience. I even tried the recipes and they were quick, easy and delicious. Thank you for your humor, your wisdom, and your honesty.

Easy and enjoyable read

I found this book to be very informative. More importantly for me, it was not like reading a text book, as many books like this can be. It was more like reading an enjoyable novel. I laughed, I cried, and I learned a lot about the experience I hope to have within the next few months. After reading about Jan's experience I now have the confidence to know I can do it, too. Thanks, Jan. God bless you! September 22, 2008. Just a follow up. I had the surgery two months after writing this review, just a couple of weeks after my 49th birthday. I lost more than 110 pounds and have kept it off. Thanks again, Jan, for giving me the courage to have this life saving surgery. I am no longer diabetic and take no medications for high blood pressure or anything else. I hope you are doing as well, too.

Truly a new me

This book is awesome. Although I have not personally had the surgery, it is an overall motivator for other situations that I have experienced in my life such as being overweight as a child. Bart and Jan are hilarious despite their adversities. I have friends that have had the surgery and I believe that if they had read this book or researched the surgery as much as Jan and Bart, they may have had a more successful outcome of really liking themselves. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about having the surgery or who has just had the surgery. AWESOME job. Can't wait for another one.

WoW! What a great book!

This is a humorous and very informative book. I enjoyed this well written interesting book. It gave me such great information that I couldn't put it down. It has a human side that made me read it more than once. Everytime I read it, I learn more and more. You will not be sorry reading this book!
