I am very happy to say that my children have joined me on my journey to a healthier lifestyle. 3 of them are overweight including my youngest son, which scares me. But since Ive been coming on here and changing my lifestyle they have actually been excited about joining in. And just yesterday my youngest had me sit down and make him a schedule so he can walk 10 minutes on the treadmill after school. And they are enjoying the new healthier foods. I thought for sure it would be a fight to get them to like it. Ive never been happier to be wrong! :)

    thats great, my 6 yr old also accompanies me on my walks, but she cycles normally or sometimes she walks with me, and we go cycling as a family on the weekend at least 1 of the days :happy:

    My daughters are excited about the change too..I did let them have pizza last night though as they had been so active all afternoon when they usually aren't. I had tuna salad with 1 T miracle whip lite, 1 t. mustard and 1t relish wrapped it in baby arugula leaves and had little bites for dinner..yummy!!! I am so happy for you that your children are changing their lives for the better as well. I have two overweight little girls myself. One has a thyroid issue. We will succeed in changing our lives around. 1 thing that is good is I already lead a lower cholesterol diet in our house as growing up we found out that I had high cholesterol as a child due to the foods we ate. So we changed it and I have kept that lifestyle all my life :)
