Synopsis

This inspiring #1 bestseller is a gutsy look at what it takes to undo a lifetime of self-sabotaging habits and feel great about the change and yourself.

Good Morning America contributor Tory Johnson is all about helping women make great things happen. And after a lifetime of obesity, of failing at fad diets and sporadic health programs, Tory was ready to make great things happen for herself -- making the shift by recognizing that it was time to lose weight once and for all, and do it her way. In twelve months, she lost more than 60 pounds, and for the first time shares what she learned, what she ate and how she changed in The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight and Discovered a Happier Life, her most personal book yet.

In this updated trade paperback edition, Tory Johnson adds a look back at the amazing response her Shift has brought from thousands of people across the country, shares additional lessons learned in the year following the book's publication, and includes the stories of "Shifters" -- readers so inspired by her book they have made their own life-changing Shifts.

Goodreads review by Cristine on March 09, 2017

This was an easy and fast read. I liked that Tory was very honest about the process and what it took. There is this idea that if you just "eat less and move more" that you can be thin.

Goodreads review by Sandy on September 11, 2013

I had pre-ordered this and when it popped up on my kindle I immediately snuggled into bed and began to read! I finished this morning and have already told 2 friends about it. :-) I'm always fascinated by what triggers people to lose weight, so many stories are similar, but the differences are what m......more

Goodreads review by Lil on January 05, 2014

I am a sucker for success stories. I'm also in the midst of rebooting my diet and like inspirational reads whilst working towards supermodel status. This was ok. The highlights for me were the author's persistence and her candor. Her weight loss method seems like torture and I got a feeling that the......more

Quotes

Tory Johnson's riveting, shoot from-the heart story inspires all of us to live a better life. She shows how a small shift of thinking can have a huge impact on health and weight. Who could ask for a truer champion and friend on the path to our dreams.
—Diane Sawyer, Anchor, ABC News

"One brief comment from a colleague gave Tory Johnson the determination to take control of her eating habits, after a lifetime of feeling unhappy about her weight. Her honest, thoughtful, and often hilarious account of how she lost more than sixty pounds, kept her sanity, and changed her eating habits forever will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to eat healthfully. I couldn't put this book down.
—Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project
