After the euphoria of the New York Marathon, Kerre set her sights on London - and failed miserably. Did that stop her? Hell no. With training and personal weight-loss programmes designed for her by long-term trainer, friend and co-author, Gareth (aka Gaz) Brown, the Short Fat Chick decided to go French. With a group of friends and fellow runners, Kerre went to Paris... nothing will ever be the same.

When celebrated radio personality and columnist Kerre Woodham found herself forty, overweight and depressed she faced two choices - do nothing and probably not make it to fifty or do something and get her life back. Fortunately for all of us, and especially those women who like to eat and dress well, she decided to fight back. Leaving kilos of herself and two bra sizes behind somewhere in the Waitakeres she embarked on a fitness and training regime, with a goal to complete the Auckland marathon. To the laugh out loud delight and support of her readers and listeners, she battled her way to fitness and achieved her goal - then decided that she didn t want to stop. With the 2008 New York marathon in her sights, Short Fat Chick documents her life changing decision to get fit and stay fit, eat what she wants and still wear a size 12 dress. With insightful comments and fitness and training tips from her personal trainer, Gaz Brown, Kerre tells it like it is and takes the reader on a journey of self discovery and self discipline we can all admire and emulate.
