Hello and welcome to this forum. It is nice to see such an interest :bigsmile:

In addition, I have been reviewing so much information on line about this book. For those of you who are interested in the challenge but do not have the book. This link defines the 7 keys in detail. It also links you to healthy recipes, samples of exercise programs, questioners for emotional eating and environment test, Healthy Fast Food Dining, High-Response Cost, High-Yield Nutrition, How to Really Read a Label, Surviving Your Sweets Cravings Staying in the High Response Cost, High Yield Zone and much more. The more links that you open the more knowledgeable you become. Have fun exploring :happy:

I am so excited I just had to share. Let me know what you think and what your plans are and if you want to get involved in the challenge. We can do this together.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thank you! I am still waiting...but ready to start the challenge when you want!

alf1163

I'm going to check if my local library has it. :laugh: Thanks for the info. :flowerforyou:

tee hee hee... Me too Alf, I'm a library girl first then I get sold on the book and then check out amazon then the bookstore if need be.:blushing:

Glad I'm not the only library girl here:laugh: The bummer on that is when you really get into it , dang it's time to renew and if to many folks have heard great things about a particular book, it's not renewable for a time, so that's the only drawback. But using that method is GREAT for finding out if it's the book for you (me:laugh: )

Oh yes girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: I don't like wasting my money. If the library does not have a particular book I just go to Barnes and Noble get myself a skinny latte at Starbucks and sit down and read the book :laugh: :laugh: hey, if they let you do it, why not?? If I see that it is worth buying then I buy it. I also check out exercise videos at the library. :flowerforyou:

sassyredgirl

I have never seen that book so I can't say if it's good or bad I was on slimquick and it was working good til the second week then it made me eat everything in sight so I stoped that I am thinking about starting it up again here in a few days. But I will go to that website and check this book out. thanks
