Welcome to Litsy!

This book is an outrageous comment on the diet, wellness, health food, and fitness culture. Our MC has been betrayed by her long time BFF and business partner, Beau. Their wedding dress company is on the line and Janey attempts to lose weight. Her journey into the world of fitness and wellness in NYC with influencers and even a shaman is entertaining and has a lot to say about how far people will go to be “fit”.

This #audiobook is fantastic. The narrator does an amazing job. This book actually is about body image and how society drives fitness and food crazes. And it's satire. You will agree that all of these things are ridiculous by the end of the book. But you probably do already.

If I laugh at the absurd diets & fitness classes in this book, can I count it as an ab workout? 😂🤣

Super fun and thought provoking.

Haha!! 😂 This book cracks me up! It's such a fun read.

Had a really good week! Even managed two days of weights, finished one book and 20% into my next book! #BFC @wanderinglynn it does help to be on vacation 😁

This was a light, fun story about how crazed some people can get about the need to be “thin”. From secret workout locations, to special tea, to eating clay as a meal... there is every type of ridiculous diet craze in this book. Yes, I rolled my eyes. But I also laughed out loud more often than not. If you don‘t take it to seriously, it‘s a pick.

Audiobook 6/18 for #BookFitnessChallenge

My goals for the #BookFitnessChallenge are to read a minimum of four books, to walk four times a week (pretty sure that‘s what I listed, did not get a form back yet) and two yoga classes per week.

@wanderinglynn No rush, just want to be sure my Google form went through, did not receive a form back as usually happens, nor an email from you yet.

🧘‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️⭐️👍🏼

Whew! I made it just in time! I‘ve been missing a lot of #Litsy lately and therefore didn‘t see this awesome challenge. So excited for #BookFitnessChallenge

Thanks @wanderinglynn for this - such a great idea and detail to the challenge. I‘m all signed up and I‘ll share my goals tomorrow.

This was a pretty fun read and most of the characters were interesting. It bothered me, though, that the authors made it seem like a fun joke that only rich women can afford to get in shape. I also didn‘t like that they waited until the last couple pages to mention that women don‘t have to be a size 2 in order to be happy and content with themselves.

I'm calling this a Bail. After 4 Chapters couldn't take all the shallow characters and fad diets. I did read last chapter, main character appeared to have gotten sensible but just didn't feel like reading the rest of book to get to that point.

A fun read which pokes fun at some of the latest health and fitness trends. Whilst having some laugh out loud moments this book also looks into the issue of the longterm friendship between the main character and her best friend who she feels attacks her over her recent weight gain. Were they ever really friends? Will their friendship survive this conflict and her attempts to lose the weight and find a healthy happier self. #tea_sipping_bookworm

Hey all! @laur89 is hosting a #giveaway !! Tag her and a title from the list you are interested in, and include #ShelfAwarenessGiveaway to request a book

A complete and total palette cleanser! A quick fun read that held my interest. The plot would make for a good Lifetime movie! My book club gave it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Can‘t wait to tell you all about it! But first I‘m decompressing in the ever reliable B&N for a bit before I go home and pass out.

Now to decide if I‘m going to let myself go home with all of these.... 🤔😅😊📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 #bookhaul ?

Prepping for my first book club meeting on Tuesday. The women‘s running group I belong to started the idea of a book club. The first pick is pretty fitting for the group. 😊🏃🏻‍♀️ I also 💕 this thumb page holder for reading actual books.

Current situation. Fitness Junkie is the perfect book for reading by the pool #currentread

Today‘s plans...enjoying this one so far.

Sitting in the doctors office waiting on my husband after his follow up appointment. He‘s doing well, back at home and we are adjusting to a new normal and making diet and exercise a priority to decrease his chances of another heart attack. Thanks for all the positive vibes! This book is the perfect light funny book I need at the moment. Several laugh out loud moments so far 😂

Quick read, made me miss New York a little. Likable main character.

I've been trying to go to the gym 3+ times a week, and I can't help but notice how generic most gym clothes are- either plain solid colors or cliché "motivational" phrases ("PAIN IS JUST WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY"). Surely I'm not the only outspoken nerd in the fitness emporium? So I took to teh interwebz in search of geeky gymwear, and I was not disappointed. These are just a few of my faves. #LiftBooksGetStacked

This book is so fun. It almost makes this 5am flight bearable. @mckennaplath I think you‘d like this one!

Just what I needed. A funny and snarky novel about the fitness industry. And despite all of the silly heath trends (broccoli water, anyone? 😂), also kind of inspiring. Business ideas are spinning around in my head... just as soon as I get my body back after this baby is born! 4 🌟

I‘m loving both Sci-fi books I‘m reading now, but need a bit of a lighter break, and this just came in at the library! Is it bad that already it makes me want to open a dance/fitness studio and smoothie bar?

I enjoyed this way more than I can explain. ❤️

I needed something funny and fluffy and this delivered. This satirical look at health and fitness had me laughing my ass off (if only that were truly possible 😏). It‘s witty and smart and fun. It pokes fun at pretty much all things pretentious. Loved it!

My brain needs some satirical fluff. This is doing the trick so far. 👌🏻 #booksandbrews

This book made me laugh in spite of myself. We are living in a time when health, fitness and appearance is quite an obsession. It's fun to read about taking it to the absurd. Great chic lit!

So excited for the first four people I made bookmarks for to receive them. I love them but don‘t want to post any more pics and ruin the surprise. Don‘t forget you can drop an email to get a homemade bookmark too! Look to my past posts! For now reading and enjoying having the apartment to myself(ish) (Reese doesn‘t disrupt my peace too much) tonight 😊

Reading and making bookmarks then putting up my tree later. Here‘s to a great mental health day!

The fluffiest of fluff but fun.

Lucy Sykes and Laura Dave ("Eight Hundred Grapes"; "Hello, Sunshine") from California provided an eye-opening discussion on various aspects of the topics they write about and writing in general. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I'll be reading their books ????! #MorristownBookFestival #MorrsitownMeetUp

Pure fluffy silliness.

Another one added to my #LibraryWishlist

This was a fun read, which was no surprise considering how much I loved The Knockoff.

Sometimes, you get a book at the perfect moment. This was a much needed break from some heavier books, a quick read, and I really enjoyed how the authors went all in. The obsession with women's bodies and the latest health craze is out of control! Plus, I'm pregnant and nervous that I'll gain like I did with the last one, and this was a good reminder to chill out and enjoy life and the body given to me.

I thought this was a good book for summer. It dealt with the lengths that some women will go to get what they think is the perfect body.

No surprise that my favourite colour is pink 💕

I cannot believe how quickly I was sucked into this book and how much I enjoyed it. I loved their view on the fitness industry through their character Janey. The things that women will go to for fitness and the ideal image. It makes me cringe and appreciate where I am at with my body as well. This book, with its subtleties, will hang in my mind for a bit.

I was disappointed in the book overall. I was hoping to read a hilarious book about fitness trends and crazy diets. We did get to read about the crazy diets but there was no humor in it for me. It turned out to be a book about having self confidence which I am all for but not when I expecting humor.

I had a blast reading this book: sass, snark, & smart, witty & funny characters with very distinct & entertaining personalities; I was never bored reading about them. I also loved that it felt like a sarcastic ode to our society‘s obsession with health and fitness, taking a crack at the insane extremes some people will go to to fit the mold. There was an honesty to these characters that felt authentic. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This didn't quite do it for me. Janey Sweet is a smart, successful and confident business woman. Her business partner and BFF tells her that she can't come back to work unless she loses weight. But Janey was never too worried about the weight she gained and it was refreshing that she remained confident in herself. But, Janey and her best girl friend embark on various exercise fads and diets. The satire didn't quite work and fell a bit flat.
