Kim Bensen will discuss & sign "Finally Thin: How I Lost Over 200 Pounds and Kept Them Off- And How You Can Too" January 31, 2009

While she’s not a registered dietician, nutritionist, or doctor, Kim Bensen knows about weight loss. And weight gain. For years she was a successful entrepreneur, with her own advertising and marketing company, a loving husband, and four beautiful children. But Kim was morbidly obese, eating herself to death and falling off the dieting wagon over and over again. At her heaviest, she topped the scales at 347 pounds and could barely walk, tie her shoes, cross her legs or sit in a chair without fearing it would break. Finally, after struggling with diet after diet from childhood on, and hitting absolute rock bottom, she had had enough, and figured out how to stick to a diet plan once and for all. The result: she lost 212 pounds – fourteen dress sizes and 200 points of cholesterol – and has kept them off for five years!

In FINALLY THIN! Kim shares her inspiring success story and the ten steps she developed that kept her mentally and emotionally equipped to stick to her diet.
