She's Losing It! is a memoir about how Lisa lost 50 lbs. at age 38 by entering a bodybuilding competition. She's Losing It! is 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.

Behind the Story
She’s Losing It! was inspired by the author’s real-life experience losing 50 pounds and competing in bodybuilding at age 38 while raising small children.
Rather than presenting a polished “fitness influencer” version of transformation, the memoir focuses on the messy, funny, exhausting, emotional reality of trying to change your life as an ordinary person with responsibilities, insecurities, and limited time.
