The weight and inches are falling off, and I feel good about myself because I have opted for a healthy lifestyle, not a quick-fix.

During the first 90 days of my journey I basically worked out a lot and ate less. I lost 35lbs quickly. (Weight 258)All of a sudden my weight stopped decreasing at 258 and would not budge.So over the next 10 months I tried several things:* Calorie Counting* Going the gym almost everyday* Carb Cycling* Intermitent fasting* workouts DVD's* Very Low Calorie Diets* C25K ( running is still a very important part of my diet)* Cheat Day DietsNone of these things worked long term. When I ran my first 5K in June I had actually ballooned to 266lbs. I was utterly confused. How could I be in the best shape of my life, but gaining weight?I decided to try a diet I heard about called the Fat Smash Diet by Dr. Ian Smith His book really got me on the right track with the kind of foods I should be eating etc. My weight dropped back to a flat line weight of 252 by July. Here I was again stuck in limbo never quite able to get under 250 no matter how hard I tried the scale would range between 251 and 256.In September I began chatting on twitter with a health author named Lori Shemek. After reading several of her tweets about not counting calories, no more dieting and short workouts I was intrigued.I was so impressed with her tweets I purchased her book "Fire Up Your Fat Burn". This turned out to be really smart purchase. After following a few of the principles listed her book about inflammation, eating habits and exercise I was able to break the 250 mark the first time ever at 249.Although I followed the book I kept my cheat days for all of September and first part of October which pushed my weight back up to 256.On October 16th I decided to give the principles in this book one more shot without the cheat days. Since October 16th I have lost 9lbs and currently today I weigh 247. I haven't weighed less than 250lbs since 2001.I have not given up my cheat days forever, but I have committed to giving them up for the next 90 days to see how much weight I can drop. Since reading her book I have found many resources that support her theories and I truly believe that this book will take me to my weight of 193 .

Ineffective weight control and fitness advice. Shady scientific analysis and poor writing style. Book is too brief and doesn't do a good job in delivering the message.
