Summary: A must read if you aare overweight!
Review: I have been in TOPS for 6 years, I am below my goal weight and I still love this book. I personally think it should be a "must read" for every TOPS member and anyone who wants to lose weight. Losing weight is simple eat less, and exercise more, Dr. Rankin explaines why we have weight problems. We have to understand ourselves and motivate ourselves to change our lifestyles.
Read this book, change your life, and enjoy all the wellness, fitnesss, happiness, wonderful life that you are entitled too.
Don't ask to borrow my book, I won't lend it out, I will however tell you how to get one on Amazon.com!

Summary: Motivation through self-understanding and group support
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I do not usually make such a statement. Simply, Dr. Rankin has put years of research into a readable volume helping those who want to lose
weight to understand the attitudes and skills we must have. After two chapters of introduction (essential reading to help us
see that while exercise and diet are important, what is vital is what is happening "between our ears") the rest of the book consists of personal stories to illustrate attitudes such as "resilience" or skills such as "assertiveness". These stories will grip the reader who will be able to relate to many of the struggles illustrated in them. After each story there is a short
summary of the key points on each topic and then a list of
"things to do" - clearly and helpfully put.Chapter l: The Power of Group Healing covers the vital support the individual can get from being part of a similarly motivated
group, such as TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter 2:
addresses The Motivational Journey. I consider these chapters
brilliant, clear and incisive, yet supportive and empathic. I highly recommend this book.
