Finally Thin How I Lost Over 200 Pounds and Kept them Off and How You Can Too

The ultimate companion to any diet—featuring ten steps that will give you the information and motivation to achieve your own success on any weight-loss plan.

Kim Bensen knows about weight loss. And weight gain. For decades, she tried every diet there was, but nothing seemed to work – for long anyway – and she yo-yoed her way to 350 pounds. But she never gave up and in 2001, despite years of heartbreak and discouragement, Kim tried again. This time was different and the results were phenomenal: 212 pounds lost forever, fourteen dress sizes, four ring sizes, one and a half shoe sizes, and 200 points of cholesterol gone for good! In the end, Kim not only changed her health and size, but also her career. The clamor of “How did you do it?” by desperately struggling individuals as well as the national media motivated her to sit down and pen into words what she had put into action.

In Finally Thin!, Kim Bensen recounts her own success story and then breaks down her success into a ten-step system, showing readers exactly how she accomplished her weight-loss goal. From choosing the right diet for your needs to setting realistic goals, finding support, eating out, recovering from a slipup, the keys to maintenance, and even 75 recipes, this book covers it all in an upbeat, inspirational, and approachable tone. A must-have for anyone trying to lose weight, Finally Thin! will help dieters break free of the yo-yo cycle and achieve their ultimate goal—once and for all.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Love Kim Benson’s Finally Thin!
I pre-ordered Kim’s book because I had read several things written by Kim on her website. I ordered the book for several reasons: 1) I wanted her wisdom for reading, re-reading and chewing on when I needed a boost of motivation 2) I couldn’t wait to read her whole story. I had seen her pictures and wanted the “behind the scenes” on her journey and 3) I wanted tips for hanging in there for the long haul. I got all of those things from Kim. There is no magic–it is hard work and diligence. She is a living testimony to God’s goodness, faithfulness and strength for the long hard journey! She has great recipes in the book and so many stories of her “before” life and her life now. It is inspirational!

3 Stars Dissapointed
I know I am probably going to get some flack for this review,but I want to keep it real.While I totally applaud the author for putting her journey down.And yes it is an inspiration what she did.I found the book,lacking something.I didn’t find any new info in the book,that I already didn’t know.I guess it was just not what I was looking for.I know there are no quick fixes for losing lots of weight.I have gained and lost many times in my life.I just didn’t find the book,really helpful.To all the people who were inspired by this book,kudos to you.I am glad it inspired people.I just felt like besides organizing everyhing wonderfully,it was regurgitated information.

4 Stars Uplifting
If you are having a weight problem, this is the book for you. Reading the things Kim says about her own struggle hits home. I almost thought I wrote the story of my life. Getting through some of the diet details is a litte tough but very enlighening and makes me really want to do it this time…I want to do her proud.

5 Stars What an Inspiration
I first found out about Kim Bensen through a Weight Watchers success story over two years ago. I printed her story out then because she was an inspiration to me. When her book came out I was excited to get to read the whole story, and I have to say that she is an incredible person for putting her story out there to try and help others. It cannot be easy to put your weight struggles out there for all the world to read, but I feel that she did this so that we could see the triumph she is experiencing now and of course to let us know that it can be done.

After reading Kim’s book, I went to her website and read her blog. I posted a comment there to tell her how she had inspired me to lose weight and she replied by posting on my blog.

I admire the fact that someone who is so busy with her own life and must have many demands right now on her time would take the time to let me know she was on my side through this.

I would recommend that everyone read this book.

5 Stars wonderful book and inspirating author!
Kim is a very motivation and inspiration person. Her book is wonderful and i would recommend it to anyone. She tells of her weight loss journey and how others can lose weight too.
