I too agree with many of the "good, but not great" reviews. I was very excited to read this book, I have lost over 100 pounds after having my son and am also a Christian and of course adore Candace. I enjoy all reads nutritional and inspirational so I knew I had to give this a go.
The key disappointing factors in this read are:
1). Candace does seem to go too far in the area of her "self confidence." I am ALL for a woman embracing her beauty, but it seems that this is an area of weakness for her. We all have our own areas of weakness, but it did get disturbing chapter after chapter of hearing her self-praise.
2). The nutrition standpoint needs direction. I'm an aspiring sports nutritionist and found many flaws in the nutrition aspect of this book. She is very inconsistent in her instruction and is also calorically deprived. She should have incorporated a professional nutritionist in the book. I do not recommend following her diet to the tee. Instead take it as a suggestion in the right direction and research professional recommendations.
3). It borders on condascending and judgmental. I completely understand that Candace is in the process of mastering her self-discipline, but it is exactly that, and will be for everyone until we die: a process. I know she's not as perfect as she paints the picture to be, and that is what really, really disappointed me. I was expecting her to be more upfront and real in this book. As I do believe she aspires for a joyful life, I do not buy that she can maintain the life she illustrates with such rigid perfection. It is conflicting in how she claims to run her life.Read more ›

This book is amazing. It came in the mail and I read most of it in one sitting. I cannot get over the physical/spiritual connection that I've missed out on for so long. As a Christian, I pray for my husband, children and my own relationship with God however, I've never truly committed my physical issues to the Lord. This book opened up a new way of thinking for me. I love all of the verses Candace weaves into her stories. These verses are great for memorization as I journey towards physical/spiritual health.
I also appreciate that Candace offers real advice. She is honest about the cost of getting healthy. It's not an easy, fix-it in 10 days diet book. I believe this book will help millions of women get healthy once and for all. Congratulations Candace! This book is amazing. And thank you Jesus for sending Candace to help us all.
I will be buying it for all of my girlfriends.

I've been hearing a lot about this diet motivational book by Candace Cameron Bure, yep, the Candace Cameron from Full House. I decided to read it for a few reasons. First of all, I was intrigued to hear Candace used her Christian faith as motivation for weight control. Second, I watched Full House on TGIF and when I was young I thought that if anyone ever made a TV movie about my life that Candace should play me (LOL!) I was also interested in how she maintains her weight, plain and simple. She seemed to be advocating health and not starvation yet she still seemed to have a Hollywood body. I certainly wanted to know how she accomplished that!
Part autobiography, part diet book, part motivational speech - I dove into the book and absolutely loved the first few chapters. I read the first 50 pages in one day, which with three kids means I was REALLY into the book and made it a priority.
Reading about her childhood and how she got into acting was interesting enough. She discussed her troubles trying to maintain her weight and regularly advocated healthy ideas like not drinking your calories in the form of soda and sugar drinks, and that dieting isn't about denying yourself but learning some self control.
She wrote about having a plan for your weight loss and sited scriptures to back this up (and I love quotes from scripture!). She said that just "cutting back" wasn't enough that you had to know when and how much you were going to indulge. This all sounded like wonderful advice and I really got a lot out it. Sometimes when I feel like I'm "cutting back" I find I'm not losing any weight because I'm not actually taking stock of what that number should look like day to day.
Candace gives sound advice about "breaking up with food" which was very helpful to me.Read more ›

I didn't buy this book because Candace Cameron was involved. I was actually more interested in the co-author Darlene Schacht. I've read her blog [...], and enjoyed it so I was looking forward to supporting her contribution to this book.
That said, I will continue to read Darlene's blog, but I will never recommend "Reshaping it all" to anyone. While this book is definitely an easy read, it frustrated me more and more with every page.
I will begin by sharing the few good parts of this book. First of all, it incorporates a lot of Scripture. I enjoyed finding many Bible verses peppered throughout the book, even though a few of them were out of context. The other thing that I liked were the simple recipes at the end of each chapter. We'll be trying some new things because of those pages.
That said, the bad aspects of this book definitely outweighed the good. If you want to read a book about how "together" Candace Bure's life is, this is the book for you. Every page sings her praises and is an advertisement for her. Her current TV series was mentioned many times, as was her t-shirt business, and even her daughter's budding career. I get that this is a book about a celebrity, but it was also a book about weight loss. And the self-advertising just got to be too much.
The thing that bothered me the most, however, was that Candace didn't seem "real" at all. She made her life sound perfect and luxurious, which just seemed out of place in a Christian book about weight loss. She implied that she has it all figured out and that we should all be like her.
I am a person who appreciates authenticity. I appreciate when someone is real and honest with me. Candace shared briefly about her struggle with bulimia, but it was many years ago.Read more ›
