Giveaway!! Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You

I have decided to offer a giveaway as it has been a while since I have had any opportunities offered to me and my little blog.  I have an extra copy of the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You.

I actually tried to use this book as a  prize over at my Turn My Life Around blog.  Unfortunately I had no takers for my weight loss challenge.

So, would you like a copy of this book that is full of "encouraging stories about dieting and fitness...and finding what works for you"?  Here is a quote from the back cover:

"There's nothing better than hearing the success stories of other people.  Read what worked for them and what didn't.  You'll find your own path to success in these 101 stories about getting fit and shaping the right body for you."

Here is the list of the sections included in the book:

Getting Started

Exercise Can Be Fun

To Err Is Human

Regaining Control

The Gym

Liking Myself

Having a Partner

Telling Myself the Truth

Foods that Made a Difference

Off the Beaten Path

I have really enjoyed reading the stories in this book and I hope one of my readers will find it just as encouraging.  

I plan to keep this giveaway open for the month of May, the time frame that I will be participating in the new challenge over at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans called May Your Way.  I have found great motivation and accountability by joining these challenges.  In fact I have lost 33 pounds since I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year.  If you would like some accountability head on over to join in, it is not too late.  If you do, I have some extra entries down below.
