Holcombe describes her journey to fitness and health, which she began at age fourteen, when she weighed 230 pounds. Teens looking to lose weight slowly, safely, and permanently will be inspired by this story of one girl's determination to come to peace with her body. The information on exercise, nutrition, and motivation (plus a list of resources at the back) is solid and should prove helpful.
