Shut Up and Choose – Jonathan Ressler’s 140-Pound Transformation

I’m Jonathan Ressler, the author of the Amazon best-selling book Shut Up and Choose. I spent 59 years stuck on the weight-loss hamster wheel — every fad diet, every cleanse, every “expert plan.” Each one gave me the same result: lose some weight, gain it back, and feel like a failure.

By the time I turned 59, I weighed 411 pounds, was on eight medications, and could barely walk 100 feet without gasping for air. I thought I was out of options… until I decided to do something radical: stop dieting altogether.

Shut Up and Choose chronicles my entire journey — how I lost over 140 pounds eating the foods I love, without starving, spending hours at the gym, or living by anyone else’s rules.

This Amazon Best-Selling Book is a quick, no-nonsense read that shows you:

  • How I stopped letting food control me — and took back the power to choose.
  • The small, simple changes I made that worked even with a packed schedule.
  • How you can eat what you love, skip the gym, and finally lose the weight — for good.

What Readers Say

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book – Easy to Read – Full of Great Wisdom for Eating and Living Life

Ressler is a power of example and explains something that we all can benefit from. The process of making choices. He provides powerful examples of how the choices we make impact our lives, not just related to weight loss but related to how we live our lives. Anyone, fat or thin, can benefit from his story about his journey and the choices he made along the way. This is not a book about dieting. It is a book about the journey and the choices we can make using our free will. It inspired me to consciously think about all choices I make throughout my day. I recommend this book to anyone interested in not only losing weight, but in living life to the fullest.

I recommend this book to all of my obese clients now

Jonathan’s book is not for the thin skinned, but it is perfectly written for people who need a reality check about their obesity from someone who dropped over 100 pounds without injections, pills, fad diets or surgery. His conversational style and raw language feel like you’re sitting in his living room hearing his story first hand. He doesn’t sugar coat anything and he doesn’t let you feel sorry for yourself. His approach is simple but effective and backed by science. I now recommend this book to all of my clients who need someone who’s been in their shoes to reinforce the message: it’s the choices you make every day.

Concise and candid

Ressler has the advantage of having tried everything, and writes an entertaining, insightful, and easy to read guide. You don’t need hand-holding – you need a blunt wake-up. Written with the candor of a friend and the bark of a coach. No magic. No gimmicks. Good stuff.

A Bold and Honest Approach

This book is like having a brutally honest friend tell you exactly what you need to hear. Ressler doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He makes it clear that weight loss comes down to the choices you make every day. Sharing his own story of losing 125 pounds, he cuts through hype and focuses on responsibility. It’s funny, raw, and relatable.
