Losing a hundred pounds or more is not a story with a tidy ending. It is a long accumulation of decisions, setbacks, reckonings with the past, and adjustments to a body and an identity that keep changing. The fifty writers here have covered that distance, and they describe it with the kind of specificity that most accounts of weight loss do not reach.

Inside this volume

These accounts span the full range of approaches: sustained dietary change, surgical intervention, medication, and combinations of all three. Writers describe the early months and the later years, the plateaus and the regain, the way relationships and self-perception shifted alongside the numbers — and what it actually meant to arrive somewhere very different from where they started.

Who it's for

For those on a significant weight loss journey, those who have reached their goal and are maintaining it, and the people beside them who want to understand the full scale of what was involved.
