Lighten Up With Amanda

Weight loss books usually come with meal plans, calorie charts, and some perky fitness guru who claims they "e;just love kale."e; This is not that book. Lighten Up with Amanda is a hilarious, brutally honest look at what it's really like to live in a plus-sized body while trying every diet, fitness trend, and weight loss "e;hack"e; under the sun. From Spanx mishaps and gym disasters to awkward doctor visits and scuba diving in a rigged contraption, Amanda shares her journey with raw humor and zero shame. Part memoir, part stand-up set, this book is for anyone who's ever cried in a dressing room, quit a diet on a Tuesday, or wondered if laughter counts as cardio. Spoiler alert: it does. Because losing weight is hard-but laughing about it makes the load a whole lot lighter.
