Stuff This Season's Stocking With the Gift of Skinny

WOODSIDE, Calif.-(Business Wire)-October 2, 2008 - This holiday season, give the gift that not only entertains, but may change someone’s life, too. Yes, it’s a bold claim, but SKINNYSONGS, the first-ever pop music CD designed for weight loss motivation, is just that…and creator Heidi Roizen has the fan mail and listener success stories to back it up. That’s a lot of power in a $14.99 gift.

“Music has always been a powerful motivational force,” says Heidi, a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur who searched for music to motivate her to lose weight — and found none existed. “Music soothes us through breakups, pumps us up before sporting events, raises our spirits in church, and even encourages us to eat Oscar Mayer wieners. I created SkinnySongs to motivate in a new way – to help people resist those doughnuts at the office and get to the gym instead.”

Realizing that the songs had to be radio-hit quality, Heidi recruited music producers David Malloy (with over 40 #1 hits) and George Daly (CEO of About Records) to create top-forty style arrangements with first-rate composers, musicians and singers. With songs like Skinny Jeans, The Incredible Shrinking Women, You Da Boss, I’m a Hottie Now and Objects in the Mirror Will Get Thinner Than They Now Appear, Heidi’s humorous lyrics cover topics from control over food to getting to the gym, to sliding into those hot skinny jeans. The music has struck a chord not only with the public, but also with the media…SkinnySongs has been featured on Oprah and Friends Radio, Forbes, USAToday, Chicago Tribune, Martha Stewart, The Early Show, The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch and much more.

But does it work? “It worked for me,” said Heidi, who has shed 35 pounds and is back in her skinny jeans. “But more importantly, it is working for many, many others. Hundreds of listeners have contacted me about how SKINNYSONGS has empowered them to reach and maintain their target weight.” For example:

Janet Bowser (down 100 pounds) “SkinnySongs is like re- programming your mind to keep you on track.”

Roger Blackmore (down 133 pounds) “When I listen to You Da Boss it reminds me that I have taken control of my life.”

Daphne Rubin (down 60 pounds) “ SkinnySongs have meant so much to me — the songs really help keep me on track.”

Denise Pavone-Brooks (down 34 pounds) “I love skinny songs, the music is catchy and the lyrics funny. It is just what I need to hear to keep me focused. Truer words were never sung.”

Susan Morgan (down 75 pounds) “When I discovered SkinnySongs, I thought, what a great idea – music to remind you WHY you want to stay on top of a healthy eating and exercising. I have them on my iPod now and really relate to the music.”

SKINNYSONGS is a fun, meaningful, yet cost effective way to support a friend, co-worker or family member in reaching their weight goal – and put a smile on their face this Holiday Season. SKINNYSONGS is available on Amazon for $14.99, (iTunes for $9.90). Read great testimonials, more about the artists and hear the music at www.skinnysongs.com.
