I received a copy of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. It took me a long time to write my review of Target 100 by Liz Josefsberg because I didn’t want to read it I wanted to put what I was reading into action. So in no particular order here are 5 things I liked about this book. It’s easy to read, straightforward and fully explained. You don’t have to make all the changes at once, over a 10 week period you add 1 target a week. I love the positive point of view from which this book is written. It’s about caring for yourself not beating yourself up for not being perfect. Reading this book is fun and it’s like having a really smart fitness coach you can carry around with you It works, I lost weight and feel better ... even that week I had the miserable cold. I am still not the best sleeper and I still love coffee and bacon, but I did give up my candy addiction. One I really struggled with was the water target and yes I did give up on that one. I do drink more water than I did before but here is the thing I often work 10 hour shifts ... and they are busy shifts... I simply don’t have the time to drink that much water on those days. If you are looking to make a lifestyle change and feel better about yourself this book is a good tool to help you make those changes. #Target100 #Netgalley |
Easy to follow tips and tools on how to achieve lasting weight loss, and how to keep it off. Once I started to implement the practices within the book, I immediacy felt better, had more energy and start to loose weight. I've recommended this book to everyone I know! |
Liz is all about real talk when it comes to her personal struggle to lose weight and her time as a Weight Watchers spokesperson. This book helps you figure out what triggers you to eat unhealthy and how to substitute healthy options to create new habits. This is a fantastic way of making little changes. She also helps you realize that you are bound to make a mistake or slip up from time to time. Instead of giving up when this happens and feeling bad about it, Liz teaches you to accept that you made a mistake and get right back on the horse the next day. The book covers her main 6 steps for making changes. Her "Target 100" includes things like 100 ounces of water each day, 100 minutes of exercise weekly, and 100 grams of carbs daily. These are such easy things to incorporate and change that I feel like this may be a perfect guide for so many more people than the average diet is. I found this book to be very helpful and encouraging. I love how friendly the tone is of the book and how easy Liz is to relate too. The foreword is by Jennifer Hudson and she has lost so much weight and maintained it thanks to help from Liz. This is a must read for anyone looking to lose weight or simply making some healthy changes. |

Wow. I LOVED this book and felt like it held so much value. I was a little skeptical at first. The author has worked with Weight Watchers and a lot of celebrities (and brings up their examples), so I thought I might be getting into a gimmicky diet book. Not at all. This book is not about dieting, or a certain way to it. This book is about forming habits and small lifestyle changes that will lead to a long-term, healthier you with multiple areas that lead to weight loss. She focuses on 6 main areas of health: carbs, water, exercise, daily movement, sleep, and stress. Each section has tips, strategies, and a slow process to make every section and step feel doable, and sustainable over time. There's also a great section for each on how it helps with weight loss. The author clearly has a lot of professional and successful experience, and has put some great knowledge in this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle and/or lose weight. |
this unique book was written by Liz Josefsberg. Liz spent many years working with Weight Watchers until she started her own consulting firm as a wellness expert. I loved this Weight-loss book, which was a nice change of pace from the typical diet book. The book guides the reader through modifying habits which sabotage weight loss and focuses on areas of “100s”. The author helps the reader with simple and realistic changes easily introduced into their life. The author spends time discussing habit breaking and making which I found useful in other areas in my life. Thanks #NetGalley for my copy |

If you want to read about how entertainers, sport figures, and popular journalists lose weight, this is the book for you. This writer gleaned everything she could from Weight Watchers and formed somewhat of a Weight loss program. I cannot recommend this book for those reasons. Don't waste your money. |
Target 100 is a great concept, writing by Liz Josefsberg who admits to having tried all of the fad diets under the sun. Her concept emerged from her followings of the WeightWatchers diet movement, and I am really pleased to see that her programme involves going back to basics and simply watching what you eat (but eating exactly what you want), moving more and just generally being more aware of yourself and your body. She goes into a lot of detail about habits and how we can modify these, as quite often our habits and routines are the sticking point for succeeding in diets. This is a very handy book for anyone that needs a bit more motivation to stick at losing weight, and needs some help in re-training their thoughts. |
