here are a few books for you that aren't "fads."

i am not using any sort of pill or supplements

Lean Body Challenge
Author: Lee Labrada
Find it: Ebay, Amazon
Program: 12 week "challenge."
Description: a healthier eating plan and work out plan that you can do some of at home.
My Dates: Feb 07-Memorial Day 07 (about 12 wks)
My Results: i had the book for 2 months before i started using it. i can tell the difference in my strength, stamina, and definately my appearance. i had a hard time on cardio day, but since it was only for 26 minutes i did it.
this book makes you look at yourself and go, "i can do that!!" i highly recommend.
ps--i didn't use his recipes and haven't taken my 12 week pics yet

(i do have my 2 and 6 week pics posted on my myspace. *energy consultant national accounts*

9 Weeks To A Cellulite Free Butt (or something like that)
Author: Tosca Reno (advisor to Oxyagen Magazine readers)
Find it: Ebay, Amazon (about same price on both)
Program: 9 weeks of butt and upper thigh exercises with a "Clean Eating" plan
Description: same as above and has some delicious recipes, too!!
My dates: i started in June, but have had alot of family visits, but the eating i have been doing consistently with some splurging.
My Results: omg my butt looks amazing and all i'm doing is eating way healthier!! i can't wait to start incorporating the exercises. i think about how 80% of how i look is what i eat and am seriously putting it into practice.
another high recommend

The Clean Eating Diet
Author: Tosca Reno
Find it: Amazon has better prices
Description: info on eating "clean" and a great list of yummy recipes
My Dates: ongoing from beginning of July
My Results: this is a more detailed description and guide to clean eating. also a kids chapter that helps you talk to your kids about food. i'm very impressed with how she lays it out and gets you thinking.

since i've started reading these books, especially the Tosca books i don't eat nearly as many sweet things or anywhere close to the amout of fried things. i have now been able to say, "no thanks" to CHIC-FIL-A and taco bell.

i'm enjoying simple things like eating fruit salad with nuts and having my son pay attention to what he's putting in his mouth also (at 7 it's a dang miracle).

you can also add some of the 9wk butt moves into your lean body challenge.

and you know, at first i was worried about people staring at me in the gym. but now, i don't care. i know why i'm there and they are there for the same reason.
