Product Description
A NOTE FROM JEN LANCASTER:
"To whom the fat rollsI'm tired of books where a self-loathing heroine is teased to the point where she starves herself skinny in hopes of a fabulous new life. And I hate the message that women can't possibly be happy until we all fit into our skinny jeans. I don't find these stories uplifting; they make me want to hug these women and take them out for fizzy champagne drinks and cheesecake and explain to them that until they figure out their insides, their outsides don't matter. Unfortunately, being overweight isn't simply a societal issue that can be fixed with a dose healthy of positive self-esteem. Its a health matter, and here on the eve of my fortieth year, I've learned I have to make changes so I don't, you know, die. Because what good if finally being able to afford a pedicure if I lose a foot to adult onset diabetes?"

 Such a bad Book: Or why Jen Lancaster should stop whining. May 17, 2008
Loved the first memoir, dislike the second, loathe the third. The real question here is why she's STILL fat after writing an entire book on her "weight loss" (since she never gives actual numbers we'll never really know if she lost weight- no before/after photos, and only a outdated b/w author photo. Get a real job Jen...And please, someone...SAVE FLETCH!
 My sides ached from laughing so hard! May 15, 2008
I've read Jen Lanchaster's other books and was excited to see this one come out since I've struggled to lose 30 pounds myself in the past year--but done it. I was SO sick of these emotional roller coaster tales of women's journeys with weight. Jen is far from that and absolutely hysterical! Buy this book now for a good, quick read. Plus, try to see her on her book tour. I did. She was wicked funny, sweet, and actually sweated wine!
HI-FREAKIN-LARIOUS! May 15, 2008
I howled with laughter and nodded knowingly throughout this book. Jen, please, please tell me you will write about house shopping next?
Such a Pretty is such a great read May 14, 2008
Jennifer Lancaster, once again, brings the type of humor to her work that most all of us wish we had the nerve to say in conversation. She's a great author and I found the book inspiring. Focusing on "strongs" versus every single morsel of evil food I put in my mouth is the exact type of message that needs to be sent. Being a size zero is still no fun if you can't walk up two flights of stairs without getting winded (Yes, I know people like that).
I love Jen! May 13, 2008
I laughed the entire time I was reading the book. Actually, I laughed reading all 3 books. Jen has a talent for telling a story and I can't wait for the next book. In the meantime, I'll keep re-reading the 3 I have.
