Happy New Year to My Blog Readers Everywhere!

/Shelley A Sonnenberg/Leave a comment

Happy New Year blog readers!  I have some delightful news! My book, No Salads Required! How I Lost 159 Pounds WITHOUT Salads, Celery, Sit-Ups, or Surgery and How YOU Can Too!  is now available for sale at Target.com! As a former Target employee, this makes me very happy indeed. I received a lot of support and encouragement from my coworkers at Target, when I was losing weight, so it’s especially nice to see that Target is now offering my book on their website.

If you don’t have my book yet, I really encourage you to buy it! Not only is it full of extremely helpful tips on weight loss, it’s also full of humor, recipes, and some really fun poetry about weight loss which I think you will greatly enjoy. There is also a group study guide in the back of the book which is perfect for book clubs and other groups of people who enjoy reading and discussing books together.  You will also be happy to know that my book not only comes in the traditional paperback and hardback formats, but it is also available as an e-book that can be read on your phone, e-reader, or any other device you can read a book on these days.

You can also still buy No Salads Required! at Amazon.com, BarnsandNoble.com, Christianbook.com, Google.com, iTunes, Westbowpress.com and many other places that sell books online.  Another convenient way to buy my book is to request it at your local bookstore. Most bookstore owners will be delighted to special order it for you even if they don’t have it on the shelf when you come in.

I also have a special note of both thanks and encouragement for my readers all over the world. Thanks to all of you, my weight-loss story has reached people in seventy different countries! That being said, I realize that many of you reading this blog post are not in the United States, so I want to be sure to let you know that many of the online outlets that sell my book ship all over the world, so feel free to order it and have it shipped to wherever you might be. If one distributer doesn’t ship to your country, try another! If you really want a copy, there is probably a way get it.

I also want to wish all of you wonderful success in meeting your weight-loss goals in 2018. May this be your year to see all your dreams come true!

This is the “before” photo from the cover of my book. I weighed 281 pounds when this was taken.

The book describes the story how I lost 159 pounds in fourteen months, and also explains my easy-to-understand weight-loss program in a format that includes humor, poems, advice on how to lose weight successfully, and some of the delicious recipes I enjoyed eating while I was losing the weight.

The website features a description of my book, my author biography, my “before” and “after” photos and the opportunity to order my book directly from the website. I also have included a link to this blog on the site and direct links to some recent blog posts.  The site also includes sharing buttons so that you can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Pinterest, and also, share my new website with your friends on social media.

The media page is where I will be posting upcoming events where I will be doing motivational speaking and signing books. If you click on the “Read More” button below “Upcoming Events” you will find a place where you can follow my page via email and also leave me a message, if you would like.

You can also click on the “Read More” button below the before and after photos displayed on the media page and see a larger collection of before and after photos that you can click on and see them in a larger version and also see the credits for the talented photographers who took the photos.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the special people who took these lovely photos of me and also the hard working designers at WestBow press who made this website a reality! I hope you all enjoy it!
