Losing Weight and Eating Right for 2012

Ok so you know how we all make those New Year's resolutions each year. Well mine is to eat healthier and also to lose a few pounds. I'm going to follow the Petite Advantage Diet  (if you are 5'4 and under this diet could be just what you have been looking for) I heard about it on a talk show last week (at the moment I can't recall which show but it was someone I trust) anyway, the book was just released on Dec 27th and I have not been able to buy it at the local bookstore. I guess I could order it on Amazon but sort of didn't feel like waiting (instant gratification and all)
