From the Publisher
This program worked for me.
Hello, I'm the editor for Greer Childer's book, BE A LOSER! I acquired this book for Times Books because I tried the program and it worked for me--after three weeks, I fit back into my wedding dress (which I couldn't even zip up after two pregnancies) for my l0th anniversary even though I hadn't lost any weight. A year later, I'm still doing the program--l5 minutes in the morning most days of the week--and loving it. (Amazingly, I still can't get my kids to leave me alone when I'm in the bathroom, but they back off when I tell them, "Mommy's going to do her breathing.") What I most enjoy about Greer's program, however, is that it's a great stress reducer; all that deep breathing is very energizing. She's also very smart about encouraging women to focus not on the scale--think inch loss, not pounds--but on toning and vibrancy. I'm sure all my coworkers are sick of hearing me rave about Greer, but I actually think her BodyFlex program is a lot of fun and worth the l5 minutes' investment. I hope you enjoy Greer's book as much as I do. Have fun with it! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I bought this book after hearing from friends how good it was....Ive tried everything but with arthritus its been difficult to find exercises that I *can* do and that I *want* to keep doing....this is perfect..although when I first started I could barely get down onto the floor to do them and getting back up was another story....Now after 6 days Ive lost 9" and I can get up off the floor much more easily, I've got more stamina and Im excited!!..I've found the one that does work....and 15 minutes a day? we can all spare that for ourselves can't we?

I have been doing Greer's program for over a year. I was skeptical when ordering the book and the tapes, and thought I would end up returning them. I never thought I would get the results I did! I lost over 30 inches and 23 pounds in the first few months. I also lost 3 dress sizes. Before Bodyflex I was killing myself EVERY day for an hour on a stairmaster. Now I do Bodyflex to maintain my weight loss and when I do other excercises it is for fun. I do not follow her eating plan. All I do is breath every day. This is the best book I have ever read. Greer has changed my life!!! 5 Stars isn't enough!

For most of my life I was thin as a rail. (The only time I weighed over 100 lbs was when I was pregnant.) Until I hit 45. I didn't mind the pounds so much as where they decided to locate---right around my mid-section! I had tried to exercise, but never stuck with it because I never saw any results. That is until I read Greer Childers' book. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks into the program and already I've lost 10 1/2 inches! I can hardly wait to get back into some of my favorite clothes that had gotten too tight. This program is great! It isn't hard to do & with "measurable" results in such short order, I know I'll stick with it! Try it, you'll be glad you did.

There is no scientific basis for the claims that this book is making. If you do the exercises (which are good and concise) without the ridiculous breathing contortions, you will... Read more
