KIRKUS REVIEWS called this winning tale of a queen-sized queen bee "Hilarious and fresh."Manhattan It Girl Riley Swain is no pudgy wallflower. She's brash, bold, fashionable, and yes, fabulous. Riley has no qualms about kissing her best friend's crush, or bribing her dad's lawyer. But this spring break, Riley's dad and wicked stepmother are shipping her off to New Horizons, a two-week fat camp in upstate New York. And it's miserable: like military school without carbs. But then Riley gets to know adorable Eric, who sees beyond Riley's tough exterior. Soon, Riley might just realize that maybe it's not her shape that will change at New Horizons. . . but her heart.

Do you want to lose weight? I've written this book in the hopes of helping anyone who is in the same desperately dark place that I was & is looking for the way out. There is definitely a way. I know because I found it. It may not be the way you thought though. It's not all about nutrition & exercise, as you'll find out when you read my story.

From the star of TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life and the YouTube sensation “A Fat Girl Dancing” comes an empowering memoir about letting go of your limitations and living the life you deserve. Right now. Whitney Way Thore stands five feet two inches tall and weighs well over three hundred pounds, and she is totally, completely, and truly . . . happy. But she wasn’t always the vivacious, confident woman you see on TV. Growing up as a dancer, Whitney felt the pressure to be thin, a desire that grew into an obsession as she got older. From developing an eating disorder as a teenager, to extreme weight gain in college, to her ongoing struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), Whitney reveals her fight to overcome the darkest moments in her life. She holds nothing back, opening up about the depths of her depression as well as her resilience in the face of constant harassment and mistreatment. Now Whitney is on top of the world and taking no BS (Body Shame, of course). And she’s sharing the steps she took to get there and the powerful message behind her successful No Body Shame campaign. She even reveals her favorite “F” word (it’s probably not what you think), the thrill of doing it with the lights on, and the story behind the “Fat Girl Dancing” video that started it all. Exuberant and utterly honest, I Do It with the Lights On is the inspiring story of how Whitney finally discovered her fabulousness when she stepped off the scale and into her life, embracing herself unconditionally—body, heart, and soul. Advance praise for I Do It with the Lights On “Whitney’s story is one of radical vulnerability. She is a vibrant example of what it means to choose confidence when insecurity beckons from every corner. She is cool, funny, and shameless—in the best possible way.”—Kelsey Miller, author of Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting & Got a Life “Soaring above expectations, I Do It with the Lights On delves into the complicated relationship between a woman and her body. With her trademark charisma, Whitney emerges triumphant, plucking from the mire some of the most important realizations one can hope to have. If you have a body, this memoir is a must-read.”—Linda Bacon, PhD

Fabulous Body is a paradigm with 3 pillars, 9 fundamental laws that will act as a personal coach in your quest to build your ideal physique that you so deserve. Here are the Top 9 Reasons why you should read this book: -You want to build lean and proportionate muscles but don't want to look like a bodybuilder. I have gone from 140 pounds to 178 pounds (current) and I don't look like one; neither will you. The idea is to have enough muscles to keep people interested but not so much to scare them off. -You want to drop your body fat and bring it into the optimal range (for men, 9 to 14 percent; for women, 19 to 24 percent). -You want to build a pleasant looking body that is also functional and optimally healthy. The Fabulous Body training system (FBX) is a multifaceted system that ensures you develop a well-rounded physique. -You are serious about your health and fitness goals but have limited time. FBX optimizes your gene expression in only 3 - 6 hours per week. You don't need to do more. -You have limited funds to allocate to your health and fitness goals. FBX can be pursued with very basic equipment, including home gyms. Further, the Reality Diet (a term I used for a no-fad diet-notice it's not FAT but FAD) focuses on home-made meals with very little use of supplements. -You want to cut through the pseudo and bro science, which is rather overwhelming and confusing for most of us. This book provides you the "truth" that the conventional sources (supplement companies, muscle and fitness magazines) are hiding from you. -You are not looking for mere opinions but rather hard scientific facts. This book is linked with more than 100 scientific studies to support any concept or theory discussed. All these concepts have been part of my lifestyle long enough for me to know whether they work or not. I will never discuss something just because it is popular or trending. Furthermore you don't need to imbibe (or even believe) everything I say. I would be delighted if you internalize even a single idea from this book that pays you handsomely in long run. -You don't just need a book but a system, a workbook where you simply plug in and start your workouts immediately. There are 16 FBX printable workout routines in the added FREE BONUS REPORT that will get you started right off the bat. These workouts are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. They are further sub-divided into FBX-Cut and FBX-Gain to help you build muscles and lose fat efficiently and effectively. -You are open-minded. You have the courage to try something new or even radical and not simply follow what other people are doing in the gym.
