Writing a book about weight loss...

[IAmGoingToTri]

A lot of books have already been written about this topic, but a lot of them are not written with the goals of really helping people lose weight in a holistic, healthy and sustainable way, but more to make the author rich. However, I notice that there is a lot of knowledge around forums like this one, I have learned tons from people like you, and now I wonder whether there are already books that do the job well.

Otherwise, it may be interesting to write something (eventually... not ready for that yet), or find someone who could do it.

Let me know what you think.

My gut feeling is that such a book might divert people from the forum.
That would be a shame as we can find all the information here that we would find in the book.

The only difference is that here we have the motivation that comes from the support of others treading a similar path.
Challenges can be very motivating - as can clubs where you can meet others of for instance a similar size.
There is a level of anonymity there too - so people can discuss innermost thoughts and fears regarding body image without people knowing who it is unless they choose to reveal it.

None of this can be done in a book.
