Weight Loss Confidential: How Teens Lose Weight and Keep It Off — and What They Wish Parents Knew
The stories from other teens really hit home with the 14 year old who is reading this. It helped her know that she isn’t alone and showed her that when she is ready it is possible to succeed. I highly recommend this to any teen who is struggling with their weight and any adult who wants to help.

Kudos to Anne Fletcher as she once again does what she does best, weaving weight management best practices with personal testimonies. In Weight Loss Confidential, Fletcher explores the world of the overweight and obese adolescent.
The book not only provides unique insights for parents and medical care providers, but the inspiration for teens BY teens is what sets the book apart from others on the topic, giving a slightly new meaning to “peer pressure. ”

This writer has done her homework. Weight Loss Confidential is well researched. In a compassionate voice, Anne Fletcher shares the real-life experiences of teens who have successfully lost weight and kept it off. Very inspiring for teens, their families and those of us who work with people struggling with their weight. In this book, we see what is possible. Overweight teens can and do learn to feel better about themselves and take better care of themselves. You’ll learn their strategies for success – make a rule not to eat out of a bag or a container, swap sodas and sports drinks for water and other zero-calorie drinks, practice restraint, not deprivation. Lots of strategies for you whether you’re a teen, a parent or a health professional.
