    That's a great reason to start getting healthier. You should include them in activities and healthy eating so they grow up with a healthy lifestyle. (Cooking and playing in the park, etc)

    My parents never encouraged me to eat healthy or do exercise, so I think I always lacked motivation. It is now as an adult that I realized all I could have done since I was young to be healthier and more active.

    You can make a difference in your life and theirs :)

    The first thing I did to start my diet and excercise was boil 12 eggs and separated them in small ziplock bags of two each, that is my breakfast every morning. They are ready to go! It satisfies my hunger and keeps me full until lunch. I work in an office so to me having things pre-made is key.

    And I started going to the gym and I work out on the treadmill one day and the elliptical the other and so on. It may seem like a small step but it is a very big change for me since I work sitting in a cubicle for more than 8 hrs a day.

    Hope these tips help. I have more if you'd like. If you have any recipes please share!

    Good luck !
    Sol.

    Welcome! I'm here to get healtier and lose weight also. I have a lot to lose as I have gained many lbs over the years. It's the small changes and little extras we do that will make the journey easier. Feel free to friend me if you'd like. I'm on here most every day. Don't always have the time to post a status, but I do go through and look at what my friends have accomplished for the day and 'like' their status and comment as I can. We all have to encourage and support each other and sometimes we just need to have people who will listen to us vent about our weight loss stumbles and journey. Good luck on your journey!
