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.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You: 101 Encouraging Stories about Dieting and Fitness... and Finding What Works for You (Chicken Soup for the Soul (Quality Paper))

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.
