Using the Buddy System To Fight Fat – Gotta Have It
Already caught in the endless cycle of yo-yo dieting, the authors had employed every weight loss tactic on the market: detoxifying cleanses, workout crazes, appetite suppressants, hypnosis and more. Nothing provided them with long-term results. If they didn’t break the cycle, they were destined for obesity, additional health issues, and deep depression. In one last effort, these moms took the tip they had read in countless magazines and books, “work out with a friend”, and turned it into the starting point of a new plan. A plan that began with one simple tool: friendship.
The writers have been best friends since bonding over take-out pizza in college. They believe that every woman deserves to feel good about herself and though this may sometimes seem like an uphill battle, healthy living is always more fun with a friend.
I give this a 5/5 because you're going to want to buy one for yourself AND a friend!!

Oh, let me tell ya, this book is a game-changer! Once you dive in and start flipping those pages, you'll be itching to call your best friend, sister, mom—heck, even your aunt! Anyone who's ever dreamed of shedding a few pounds and just needs that little nudge? This is their golden ticket. The plan's super straightforward and easy to stick with. Sure, it takes a smidge of extra effort but believe me when I say it's totally worth it for the results you'll see. I've been there myself! Seriously, you won't regret it—this will be the best $10 you've ever invested in yourself!
