Weight loss books usually come with meal plans, calorie charts, and some perky fitness guru who claims they "just love kale." 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 "hack" 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.
