She's Losing It! is a memoir about how Lisa lost 50 lbs. (at age 38) by entering a bodybuilding competition. It's kind of like Pumping Iron, only if Tina Fey played Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ultimately it's a Rocky for moms who find the inherent humor in combining strength training with potty training. You know how lots of diet books tell you to follow their recipes and exercise and you will lose all the weight in ten days and be totally happy? Yeah, this isn't one of those books! This is the real deal about losing weight and fixing a messy life in the process. She trains for her first bodybuilding competition to lose weight for her 20th high school reunion and simultaneously gets yelled at by her trainer, attempts to potty train her toddler, works on her marriage, and trips over her own heels trying to look sassy in a bikini. "A lively, motivational memoir likely to find an enthusiastic readership. . . . Traugott's . . . humor is charmingly open . . . readers will no doubt be inspired by her likability and perseverance." — Kirkus Reviews
