Review

This is the incredible story of a woman who took her weight loss journey public and ended up with an entire community behind her. When Carole Carson wrote a newspaper article on being over 60 and getting fit, she didn't have any idea what she was stirring up in her community. Soon the entire community was rallied behind her and they were participating along with her. She managed to get more than 1,000 others in her town coming along with her on the weight loss/getting fit journey. What started as a single newspaper article turned into a weekly series that chronicled her struggle to get fit and lose weight. They found that what is hard to do alone, is easier and more fun when doing it with others. This book outlines the seven-step Meltdown plan that this community used to go from fat to fit, and offers practical strategies and resources to help the reader duplicate the process. This story is an inspiration to anyone of any age who has tried to lose weight, and demonstrates the power of partnership to attain a goal. This book gets 5 out of 5 stars from me! As someone who's been on a weightloss journey for a while now, I know how much support helps.
