About the Book

NOT JUST ANOTHER DIET BOOK The failing of most "weight loss" books is that they are strict, regimented plans complete with recipes, rules and long, long lists of do's and don'ts. This approach is exactly what Chicago author Laura Dion-Jones challenges and changes in her revolutionary new book, Commit To Get Fit: Find the Secret to Your Own True and Everlasting Weight Loss. Rather than continuing to bombard readers with one more rigid program aimed at weight loss, Laura simply aims to inspire and change the reader's approach to weight control through a detailed, self-effacing, fun-filled and yet poignant journey of her own success. The book includes insights, thought processes and other information detailed during her journey to a healthier lifestyle, all of which are intended to positively influence the reader's view on his or her own attempts at weight loss. It also, while remaining entertaining and positive, stays realistic. Rather than make claims about some secret "trick" that magically transforms your body, as is too rampant in the weight loss industry, it details both Laura's successes and mistakes, her moments of gratification and of disappointment, which make for a guide that is as honest as it is refreshing. One reader review of an advance copy of Commit To Get Fit has described the book as "careful to skewer the diet industry, entertainingly, from the beginning" and "a valuable read for anyone who wants to lose weight, particularly if you have tried and tried and have given up the ghost on that particular goal." One of Laura's goals in writing Commit To Get Fit was to change the way dieters view the process of losing weight by taking control of their own personal lifestyle, rather than following guidelines and those rigid rules that could possibly be unhealthy or not suitable for each and every individual. And putting an end to our country's obesity epidemic because being over weight is not a disease. Obesity is totally and unequivocally preventable. It all comes down to choice and personal responsibility. Period.
About the Author: Laura Dion-Jones, is a Pro-Health Activist, Certified Corporate Wellness Coach (CCWC), Certified Wellness Coach (CWC), TV & Radio Show Host, Motivational & Lifestyle Writer, Speaker and Author who has lived a lifetime in obesity's shoes. Having lost 150 pounds on her own without any gimmicks, surgeries, magic potions, procedures or pills, and now keeping it all off into her 10th year, Laura motivates people to overcome common fitness hurdles to reach the best shape of their lives by teaching the basics of daily walking, developing discipline, meditation, positive mindset, how to overcome adversity and find the right diet for lifelong change. C2GF is different because it's kind of a last-ditch effort to bring people back from obesity's brink written by someone who's lived her entire life as a chronically obese woman. Laura always shoots straight from the hip, pulls no punches, walks the walk and walks the talk. Her engaging advice and easy-to-follow programs are accountability-based and help people take personal responsibility for their weight, their fitness, their appearance, and their lives - once and for all. C2GF is a cross between Laura's personal story and a how-to guide written so the reader can see exactly what Laura has done to achieve her 150-pound weight loss and maintenance over the past ten years, learn from what worked and what didn't and then also see the ways Laura recommends doing things to successfully move forward with their weight loss and wellness plan. Considered an elite distance walker, Laura logs an average of 2700 miles a year. Since January 1, 2003, she has walked over 35,000 miles or all the way around the earth at the equator and then some leaving 150 pounds in her wake. Embracing the healthy low carb way of life combined with daily walking helped Laura lose and now maintain her weight for ten years for the first time in her chronically obese life.
