For many of us, getting slim and keeping fit requires a whole change of approach, especially for those of us that have reached a 'certain age'.
This latest book by Jo Weaver tells her story of living with the 'fat gene' and how she has changed her life in order to become slim and fit without dieting, since, as she says, 'diets don't work'.
If that rings a bell with you, Jo's book, 'Look Out, here comes the Fat Girl' is out in February, 2026. Pre-orders are available now at a discounted rate of Kc 300/Euro 12 per book. Order your copy here.

"When Jo lands in Prague in the 1990s to open a branch for her employer, she has no idea that she’ll stay and build a life there. In this memoir, she shares the highs and the lows as she navigates a new country navigating its own highs and lows. An unusual insight into forging a life in a country in transition."

Only a handful of expats were brave enough to move to the 'wild East' of post-socialist Czech Republic. It was a time of transition for locals and expats alike... and there is no shortage of captivating stories!

In March, 2020, Jo headed to Marbella for a week in the sun. Little did she know, she wouldn't be back for over three months.
