Through all the madness I have to take care of today I'm going to try and read some more and discuss before the end of the day

Troo, I think every 3 is the same philosophy, as long as you don't go for more than 4.

Ah...yeah, I don't know if I could go 4, I think I would make bad decisions if I waited that long. I haven't ate since 10:30am, but that was because I ate fast food (that fits into my calorie budget as long as I just eat dinner!) and am riding it out until dinner. Usually, though, as I said, I eat an afternoon snackie.

Dumb question, but is the book called "are you ready?"

Thanks!

There is no such thing as a dumb question (or so the teachers have always told me BEFORE they hear mine haha)...no seriously, it's not a dumb question. It is called "Are You Ready!" with an exclamation point, not a question mark.

OK so it's by Bob Harper?

I can get the hardback book OR the audio CD's for the same price. So I think I'm going to order it

Hey, I got through on a quick read (so I have an overview of where he is going) the Part 1 and part of Part 2.

When I get home and get my DS through soccer practice, I am going to post the questions and exercises from the first chapter with my answers. I am going to walk through this "Inner Compass", because I feel I am on the edge again of getting to the same point I did last time and not pushing through. I WANT TO PUSH THROUGH.

See you tonight ladies!

OK, when someone gets to the Food list, can you tell me if it is my imagination or are "Grapes" missing from the fruit list.

Why do you think this is so???

yes, Bob Harper. I would highly recommend getting the book because there is a huge section of exercises with pictures that are valuable.

I seem to recall their absense. Maybe because of their high sugar content? I know they are pretty high in calories.

Thanks very much! I ordered the book. It will take about a week to get here though (I have to order it, because English books are hard to get around here!).

Looking forward to it!!

So, I'd like everyone's input before I put down hard earned mullah on yet another diet book.

On a scale from 1-10.....1 being "just another diet book, but I like it because it's written by Hunky Bob".....to 10 "OMG, this book is full of awesome information that will definitely help me reach my goals this time"....where do you rank this one?

Mother's Day is coming up and I don't know if I want Cesar Milan's books or Bob's book.

Well I am still reading it, so I can't give you an answer however I really like the exercise illustrations and instructions, it's quite substantial and it is all stuff you can do at home. You should go to a bookstore and have a gander and then get a steal on Amazon.
