Summary: The amazing true story of how Dave Letele lost over 100kg and took control of his life - and how you can, too. Dave Letele's life has taken him from crime to community, footy to failure, riches to rags (and back again), and from fat to fit. Today, he is a businessman, community leader and life coach who helps literally thousands achieve their goals as the face of Buttabean Motivation. He gives out free meals for the homeless and runs a foodbank for people in need But it wasn't always like that. Like Dave says, I've been at the bottom and the top, and everything in between. If I can do it, you can. This is his story. (Publisher)
