Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost One Byte at a Time

by Taylor LeBaron
and Jack & Mary Branson
Hennepin County Library paperback 188 pages

This caught my eye when I was getting books one day. This young man went from 297 pounds down to 145! His story is incredible and inspirational. His basic tenets are the ones I already know (exercise more, eat less, & eat good foods), but the way he shares his story amazes me.

I know myself pretty well and at age 45, I'm not interested in his Ultimate Fitness Game (treating weight loss like a video game with points). His points on goals and success are good, though. What an incredible kid. I'll buy this for my collection. I think there are some students for whom this would be very meaningful.
