Family support
Ok, so this isn't for motivation for me but my wife and daughter. We are all over weight and my wife was the one who got us really pumped up about losing weight and living better.

Miscellaneous Calorie Burn
Hello, I am new to the community. I am just curious if any of you guys use the categories such as yard work or moderate house cleaning.
