"I hit rock bottom in 1996, when I was overweight, in debt and terribly unhappy," writes Sarah, the Duchess of York. She credits Weight Watchers with saving her life by teaching her how to control her habits and her weight--and respect herself. In Win the Weight Game, she teams up with Weight Watchers to offer a support group in print, with friendly, practical advice and a four-week meal plan with 50 recipes. She traces a female's physical and emotional development, and describes how this relates to the development of weight triggers. This is a very practical book dealing with real issues, real situations, and real solutions. How can I keep from overeating when I go home for the holidays? How can I raise a daughter to be a healthy eater? What if my husband is sabotaging my weight-loss efforts? Whatever obstacles are getting in the way of your weight-loss success, Sarah and Weight Watchers have strategies for overcoming them. The four-week meal plan follows Weight Watchers' 1-2-3 Success plan and avoids boring diet food in favor of dishes like Lemon Ricotta Blintzes, Lo Mein Peanut Noodles, Turkey Oaxaca with Spicy Oven Fries, Winter Vegetable Pasta, and Cornmeal and Almond-Encrusted Trout. All recipes include a nutritional breakdown with calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watcher points. --Joan Price

 a gentle push towards self-confidence March 5, 2000

While sometimes I pondered over just how much of this book Sarah Ferguson wrote by herself,it is very helpful and practical. Most diet books are so difficult to follow, as good as they are. This one is not. And for the first time I've ever seen in a diet book, the author explains our eating behaviors exclusively from the female perspective. Perhaps the best part of this book is how to prevent weight-teasing and body anxiety in both your children and yourself. The book is very short (I read it in one day and I work!) but I really enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it is that they recommend diet sodas and other aspartame sweetened products in order to cut sugar and calories. They shouldn't promote using chemicals to control weight! Otherwise, a perfectly sensible diet plan I can't imagine not working for anyone.

This book is so tiresome. I'm so tired of the same diet books recycling the same message- control your weight- be happy! There is more to life than controlling your weight but you'd never know living in our culture or looking at the besteller lists. Try reading Simple Abundance or the Mass Market Woman. Those books are far better than wasting all your time, money and effort on trying to fight with your body all the time.
Thank You Sarah February 1, 2000

I bought Sarah's first two books written in conjunction with Weight Watcers and haven't regretted it. This book too, was well worth the money.This book addresses the real psycological issues and gives practical, usable advice on how to fight your food demons at 1:00 in the morning and at your favorite restaurant. Sarah is a wonderful role-model, she's conquered her weight issues and has accepted that you don't need to be pencil-thin to be healthy or attractive. The recipes, a mixture of exotic and simple, are as always a delight. She makes WW's 1-2-3 success program well worth the effort.

This is a wonderful book. I think that Sarah Ferguson,(teamed with Weight Watchers),does an excellent job discussing the psychological aspects/roots of weight gain, loss, and management. Her personal experiences and feelings enhance the content. Chapter 3, titled, "My Mother, My Weight", is extremely insightful and useful. The weight issue seems to be passed from generation, and I will try to use the information she presents to break this cycle in my own family.
