Hello! My daughter and I are starting up (again) tomorrow. She's away at college so it's extra hard for her. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey there,
    All the best to both yourself and your daughter on your journey to a healthy lifestyle, give it 110% and you'll get the same in return!

    Wishing you both complete success.

    I recommend reading the community forums and gathering intel. From there make the best decisions you can for your goals. You can do it! Also, start strength training because you want to be fit when you reach your goal not what they call "skinny fat".

    Same here. My daughter and I text each other exercise challenges. We are working together but I am very non critical on her weight. I say nothing...when she eats anything, I am supportive, but not competitive. My Mom used to sort of be a "food police" and exercise matron. It really was not a good experience. So I am careful to not be like that.
