  • Do the best you can everyday - that's all you can do. There are exercise routine's on Youtube you can follow along to while not having a gym.
  • Adding exercise to eating healthier worked best for me. I find that when I work out I automatically eat much healthier. When I first started losing weight I lost 24 pounds in about 3 to 4 months by eating healthier then plateaued. When I added exercise the weight just fell off. I really couldn't believe it. I did workout…
  • I don't have kids but I've heard of families that grow up without junk food in the house. If they don't like it, oh well - don't have it in the house. Your health is more important and you could be passing your bad habits onto them.

You may be drinking more water now and were dehydrated before - causing your weight to go up even though it's just water weight. As long as you know you are doing to right things and your clothes are fitting better don't worry too much about…
  • Planet Fitness offers free classes as part of the membership. You may want to go to those first then see if you need to pay a trainer. I lost over 50 pounds a few years ago and started at Curves. There was only one workout so there was really no wrong way to go. The receptionist would help me be accountable and they would…
