Weight Loss: How to Keep Your Commitment

"Motivating"
Comments by Deja

I just want to thank you for your support and this great program of renewing my life both mentally and physically. I must admit, I've had some real tough times especially in the evenings, but I was able to make it through....

"The meditations really work"
Comments by Anthony

Jonni, Since reading your site and book. I've finally started becoming the leanest I've ever been in my lifeI love it.

"Like a letter from a friend"
Comments by Linda

I enjoyed reading your book as it was written in a manner that made me feel like I was reading a letter from a friend. You made many valid points and I do agree that we need to be responsible for the choices we make. I found your method of thinking about our thoughts quite interesting.

I read your book through all in one sitting and so hope to be able to read it slower next time.

"Exactly what I needed"
Comments by Faith

Exactly what I needed. Most of us know what we should be eating. But I spend a lot of time running in circles unable to concentrate on decisions at hand. Your book showed me how to be in more control of my thoughts and make more conscious decisions about what I eat.

"Very Helpful"
Comments by Cynthia

Jonni, I work in the health field. I know your ebook could be very helpful to countless numbers of people who may simply have given up for lack of understanding why they continue to fail; your ebook explains why and contains a critical ingredient in the recipe for long-term success - a simple safety net. "

Much success to you, and thanks again.

"A positive approach"
Comments by Kay

This more positive approach which looks more closely at the reasons we eat offers a fresh avenue of hope because you offer definite ways to re-think and cope.

....the book is wonderful because the approach is about so much more than just the food.

"Well researched"
Comments by Jessie

Jonni, I wanted to write and let you know that I really learned a lot from your book. You really made me see that what I always thought of as a personal failing was really just my own natural human nature, trying to live of a world that doesn't exist any more.
