Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that based on the very useful feedback from lots of Roni’s Weigh readers, I’ve now added a free Habit Guide excerpt to the website. In fact, it’s the beginning of the book, basically :-) Click on my name if you’d like to download it. Thanks everyone.

Hi Roni (and James and Mike),

Thank you for this review. I bought the book and am already loving it. I am one of those people who always says “That’s a nice thought, but HOW do I do it?” I need the step-by-step breakdown and this is full of what I need.

Thanks!

James – not at ALL this is why I love the internet. Open communication! :~)

Hi Julie,

Mike is the author of Habit Guide and I do all the “web stuff” :-) Someone else mentioned this to me yesterday too, so thanks so much, this is great feedback for us.

I’ll definitely look at adding a free section or chapter to the website. In the meantime, if you click through to the website by clicking my name and hitting “contact us”, I can email you something to give you a flavor of the book.

(Roni, if you’re reading this I hope you don’t mind me jumping in to answer Julie’s query).

Thanks Roni and everyone!

Hi Roni,
Do you think the Habit Guide is worth the money? I really like the premise of the book, but feel a bit uncomfortable buying it sight unseen. There’s no sample chapter on their website. Thanks!

Another WW quote that is along the same lines, “Willpower is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.” This is so true! The more I say NO! to temptations and yes to healthy habits, the easier it is. It’s like an upward spiral rather than a downward spiral.

Great quote! And yes, so true! Good luck on your 6 miles. You CAN do it! I started running in March 2007, having NEVER run before. I am now training for my 4th half marathon. It can be done!!!

I agree. It’s hard to form good habits—but soooo easy to form bad ones. I have often thought of how dangerous it would be for me to skip a week of exercise. I think once the habit is broken, it’s so hard to get back into it again. Here’s hoping all us adopt the good habits for good!

I get what you’re saying, Crista. It wasn’t confusing. :) I’m trying to make exercise a habit, and I’ve been doing the same DVD for a week now, and I actually feel the need to jump up and put it in right now (I just got home from work and my body clock seems to be telling me it’s time – and lo and behold – it’s the same time of day I workout on my days off). It’s becoming part of the routine, and my life is starting to work around the time I need to make it happen.

Thanks, Roni, for the book review. Also, I love that quote from your boot camp! I’m going to write it down and put it somewhere where I’ll see it often.

Roni, I found out about the C25K (Couch to 5K) from a friend online, and I’m going to be starting it on Monday. I enjoy reading about your runs, as I’m SO a beginner that any information I can get I’m taking. lol

Keep up the great work on the site!
