Would like some support...

Hey gals and guys,
I would like some outside support from anyone who can help!
I'm trying to tone up and lose a couple pounds and stay very active, but with my family, it's very very hard. My father does not enjoy eating healthy (he asked for a new deep fryer for Christmas... ugh) and my mom always takes his side.
It's hard because I'm on a limited budget (hairdressers don't make much money!) and still live with my parents so I don't have any support at home with this new lifestyle I am trying to take up.
If anyone would like to add me, feel free! Positive people only! :-P
Thanks!

Maybe you can offer to cook a couple of nights a week and give whomever does the grocery shopping a list of the healthier foods you'll need. Also how about inviting your family to go on the occasional walk with you?0

I do occasionally cook, and they always seem to enjoy it, so I don't know why they don't let me cook all the time!
Luckily we just got a very active puppy, so my dad enjoys taking her for walks, so it's a start!0
