Beyond Chocolate: How to Stop Yo-yo Dieting and Lose Weight for Good - Sophie Boss

How to Lose an Audience

Advantages: A good central conceit.
Disadvantages: The satire isn't strong enough, the comic timing is off and it is miscast.

Journalist Sidney Young is desperate to make a name for himself. So when Clayton Harding, the editor of New York celebrity bible Sharp's Magazine offers him a job, it seems like a dream come true. Sidney accepts the job and Clayton advises him to impress everyone he meets if he wants to succeed. But Sidney only seems capable of annoying and insulting everyone that crosses his path, including fellow writer Alison Olsen, his senior colleague Lawrence Maddox and high-powered publicist Eleanor Johnson. His saving graces are starlet Sophie Maes, who develops an odd affection for him and Alison, who may be the only person stopping him from completely destroying his career. Director Robert B Weide is best known for his work on television series "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but as with many helmers that hail from TV, he has difficulty parlaying his ...

Review of How To Lose Friends And Alienate People

How to Lose yourself in a great book!

Advantages: Super story, great characters, enjoyable, I couldn't put it down!
Disadvantages: None

rent, and try to get her life back together with the help of her new friends Maria, Kendall and Teddy. But will her past secrets stop her from finding a new love? And is Manny ever going to be able to let go of Ruby once and for all? This book is Bernadette Strachan's 5th novel, although to be honest I have not heard of her before so I didn't know at all what to expect from her work at all. I was happy to see that the recommendation on the cover came from Fiona Walker, an author I have read and enjoyed before so I thought that it was a good start already! The cover to me really stands out, and is one that definitely jumps off the shelf at you - its purple and orange cover are really attractive, and although you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I can't help myself and I did so on this occasion! The story focusses on the journey ...

Review of How to Lose a Husband - Bernadette Strachan

How I am managing to lose weight

Advantages: Finally found a way!
Disadvantages: Takes a radical change of lifestyle!

nip to the shop and buy a tub of Ben N Jerrys or £5 worth of sweets. Of course, this is a vicious lifestyle, as you wake up the next day with a sore mouth, headache, lethargic and feeling fat. It just seemed I could not stop this habit, and I honestly felt powerless. Again, I was reminded of my friend's comments - I needed there to be something else I did to enjoy myself other than eat, but what? PART 4: TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT STAGE TWO - JOINING A GYM In late 2006, it seemed like a good idea to join a gym. I joined 'Canons', the best Plymouth has to offer, using it not just to try and lose weight, but to build muscle, and relax in the Jacuzzi and sauna. Over the course of six months I went at least 4 times a week, but didn't really lose any weight. The problem was I was working out and increasing my appetite, therefore increasing my ...
