So I just bought this book through my bookclub( the best life) and am already half way through it. Through the whole book he plugs away about his website, so I thought I'd give it a try! But it costs money, so it's not enough that I spent 25 dollars on his stupid book but I have to pay for the website as well. Just a little mad. I love this site, but was just wanting to add to it, need all the help I can get right? But I am seriously considering returning the book, you don't pretend that you really wanna help people when your really out to get rich!!! I know, I'm a little naive lol!! Just needed to vent a bit!!

    I know, I bought the book a while back and I was turned off by it too. At the end of the day, MFP is all we need to help us stay on track.
    I used to write things down in a notebook but it always got messy and I would eventually stop cuz I couldn't even understand my own writing (should have been a doctor lol). This site makes it so easy. I will definitely be a permanent member. :flowerforyou:

    and the rich get richer! That's why I think Mike is such a great guy. He could make alot of money running this site, but he does it genuinely to help others. Did you, at least, gain any knowledge from reading the book?

    So far there's a few things in there that are kinda motivating, and I'm always looking for new information so I'll sometimes trick myself into spending the money on other resources, but when it comes right down to it, weight loss and excersise is just common sence. So I think I just answered my own question, I think I will return the book!!

    He's a fitness/health guru. Oprah and Ellen Degeneres use him and I always thought I'd like to learn more about his program.
