Hi, I have lost weight in the past using this site after my 4th child, and now I am back after my 5th losing it again! (I don't have any will power during pregnancy or nursing!)

I am well on my way, learning again to eat when hungry, to say no to sweets, (I am still in my "no sweets" rule until I get a little more willpower back), and really enjoying working out.

Does anyone have a book that just really helped them make this a permanent lifestyle change? That just is inspiring and motivating? Something that goes in accordance to the fitnesspal frame of mind?

    One book that I like which isn't necessarily a weight loss book but a better you overall is "Change your Brain, Change your Body" by Dr. Daniel Amen. It is so great and very very informative.

    The only one that explained it all to me: Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto. Many posters on here have either cited it as well or they have said ditto when I did. It's working. Lost 3 pounds already and I just joined on 1/3/11. Good Luck.

    Best holistic book I've read is Burn the Fat , Feed the muscle by Tom Venuto. Heaps of reviews available e.g

    Yes!! After a year of being stalled about 20-25 pounds down, I went to counseling to try to get my head together for the rest of this journey. In addition to all the good things I learned about myself in counseling, my counselor had me work through a book called "The Beck Diet Solution" by Judith Beck. It's the kind of book where you read a section every day and work through little "assignments" along the way. It has really helped me to keep my mind where it needs to be to make this a lifestyle instead of a diet. I highly recommend it.
