Get Inspired! The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight and Discovered a Happier Life by Tory Johnson

Weight had always been an issue for Tory Johnson, and she couldn't remember a time when she wasn't ashamed of how she looked.  Tory experienced something profound when a network executive warned her that if she didn't lose weight her television career could be over, and she coined her burning desire to change her eating habits "the shift." She knew she didn't just want to change, she needed to change.

The Shift begins with this eye-opening incident and follows Tory on her weight-loss journey.  For anyone who has struggled to make a big life change, The Shift offers valuable lessons and inspiration for taking charge of your weight once and for all.

Featured New Book: The Four-Hour Body

Many New Year's resolutions focus on losing weight, and publishers are not slow to take advantage of this trend. With mountains of weight-loss books competing for reader attention, what makes The Four-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman worth reading? In Book Page, Timothy Ferris, author of the bestselling Four-Hour Workweek, explains: "Big changes seldom work. The Four-Hour Body is intended to answer one question: What are the smallest changes that produce the biggest physical results?" Sounds promising, but we'll let readers be the judge. For the full interview, see the January 2011 issue of Book Page, free copies of which are available at your community library.
