What inspiring fitness books should I read?

[phathui5]

I like the sections in Fitness and Shape where they profile someone who's gotten in shape and how they did it. Are there any good books like that?

I am going to be lurking because I love to read them too. Back in 2006 when I originally lost my weight there was a magazine that was all about success stories. It was called "Looking Good Now" They canceled it before my subscription was up and sent Shape. I miss it. It was real people. I could really connect with them.

I really loved the book "Finally Thin" I did NOT like "Tales from the Scale" The format of the book was driving me crazy. It had the weight loss story of a few different people. It kept skipping from person to person.

I have a few that are on my wish list at paperback book swap.
Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir by Jennette Fulda
The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl
Angry Fat Girls: 5 Women, 500 Pounds and a Year of Losing It...Again
I Finally Understand!: A Personal Weight Loss Story :: Deb Micinski

Although much of it doesn't work well for me, I liked reading "French Women Don't Get Fat"

I thought "Such a Pretty Fat" by Jen Lancaster was freaking. hilarious. I loved every second of it.
