Biggest Winner - Keith Ahrens Feb 10, 2010
Every January we're bombarded with weight loss commercials and advertisements to lose weight now with the help of "this 30-day meal plan" or "that shake"; "this piece of equipment", or "that exercise video". Keith's story came to us quietly in the local Las Vegas newspaper, humbly telling his story and mentioning his book. I was very intrigued at what Keith had accomplished, so I purchased this book and I'm very glad that I did. Keith went through a life-changing experience: open heart surgery and he survived. That he decided to share his story is a gift to us and that makes him the biggest winner in my book. Loving to eat food is not something you can just "give up." With physician's help and self-determination, one can "quit" smoking, for instance (hopefully), however we can agree that we simply can't "quit" eating. Keith, however, learned how to eat healthier, smaller portions and incorporate exercise into his life...the weight loss formula of success "eat less and move more." It's hard to lose weight. Keith lost a lot of weight. Plus he recovered from major surgery. Let this book be inspirational for you. Motivate yourself to accomplish your goals. Seize the day. Thanks, Keith, for the reminder!

Outrunning My Shadow...A MUST Read! Jan 10, 2010
Many of the facts in this book can be obtained from other books or your very own Doctor. What you will not find anywhere else is Keith's personal story.
Whether your struggle is your own or that of a friend or loved one. I recommend this book as a guide to helping yourself and those you love.
Keith's journey and his depiction of it is amazing and inspirational to say the least. Thank you for sharing your story!

Very few people have the chance to make a difference in the lives of others, and even fewer have the courage to take advantage of such an opportunity. Keith has not only taken advantage of that opportunity but has excelled and accepted the challenge with passionate enthusiasm.

Simply put, this book will change people and save lives. It is because of Keith that millions of people will receive a second chance in life and use that second chance to achieve great things, both personally and professionally. Tell a friend today about Keith and his book "Outrunning My Shadow". Tell them to visit [...] and you, too, may very well give someone a second chance in life.

Wonderfully Inspirational Dec 08, 2009
Keith's book is a wonderful inspiration and is really easy to read. He takes you through his journey of learning about his serious heart condition and the steps he took to survive. His positive outlook on life and relationship with friends helped him get to where he is now. This is a great book for anyone, over weight or not, about dedication, hard work, and a positive mental attitude. He also offers some great info about cholesterol, blood pressure and heart rate. A definite must, especially if you are struggling with obesity!
