Is anyone else out there using this book? Supposedly, it works with any diet, and it uses cognitive therapy to help us train ourselves to eat healthier and more reasonably so we get get the weight off - and keep it off for a lifetime.

So far, I've done pretty well losing the weight on my own and with the support of the fine folks here (I'm a calorie counter), but I'm really having trouble losing this last 15 - 20 lbs. I'm STUCK at my current weight, and I am hoping that this book will give me some more tools that I need to fine-tune my weight-loss efforts.

I'm only on Day 2 and already my outlook has changed for the better, so I really think this is going to work! I am, however, curious if anyone else is trying it and having success with it.

Thanks!!

I am in the process of reading this book, too. I am really enjoying it, and it all makes sense. It's refreshing to read a book with diet in the title that is all about changing how we think, not just how we eat!!

There is a companion workbook coming out soon (Fall 2007, I think). I am hoping to score an advanced copy (I am a psychologist who uses CBT resources all the time in my counseling practice - sometimes they send me freebies!).

Congrats on your progress so far and best of luck with the book!

I am reading it now. I think it's going to be a really useful tool to get at some of the mind issues that always stop me cold and I end up gaining again. CBT works really well for a lot of other things. It should work for weight loss, too!!

Oh good! I'm so glad to see others are doing this plan, too!

Gina, I would LOVE to start a group here and share this experience with others... we could certainly all learn and help each other along the way. In fact, I think that one of the days focuses especially on finding a support system...?

I wonder, though, if we set up a group - where should we set it up at? There are so many wonderful sub-forums here, I don't know which one would be appropriate.

Anyone have any ideas?

I think there is a forum called "general diet plans" You could open a thread there.

Hi guys, I have two suggestions for areas to set up a support thread:

The general diet area
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10

or in Support groups
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=122

Since this is diet based, I first recommend the general diet area.

Thank you all for your input!

OK - that cinches it - I'm going to go to the General Diet Plans area and try to start a group there.

Like anything else I've ever tried for the first time, I'm a little daunted by doing yet another diet plan, and it'll be good for me and I'm sure many others to go through it with a group, especially since the book/plan are so new.

Hope to see a few of you there!
